“I visited 4 different schools before deciding to entrust TFI Lake Travis with my 6 year old daughter ... TFI was clearly superior in each category ... One year later, the growth in my daughter's confidence, discipline, and of course her Jiu Jitsu skillset have been tremendous.”
Google review excerpt
“What I've found at TFI Lake Travis is so much more than a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. I've found coaches who genuinely care, teammates who support each other, and an environment where it's okay to struggle as long as you keep showing up.”
Google review excerpt
“Our 7-year-old has been training here for a year now, and the growth we've seen in his confidence and discipline is incredible. The coaches are fantastic, they know exactly how to keep the kids engaged while teaching them respect and focus.”

Questions, answered
Everything new members ask.
Do I need any experience? +
None at all. Most members walked in having never trained jiu-jitsu, and every class is structured so beginners can follow from day one.
Which classes are available for kids and teens? +
Kids classes are grouped by ages 4–7 and 8–12. Teens ages 13–17 also have classes on the weekly schedule. Contact the academy to find the right first class.
I already train. Is this a good fit? +
Absolutely. We coach all levels with a structured curriculum and strong training partners across the belts. Experienced grapplers, professional athletes, and visitors are always welcome on the mat.
Can I still do this if I am older or out of shape? +
Yes. Jiu-jitsu runs on leverage and technique, not size or athleticism. We have members of every age and body type, and you will progress at your own pace.
What should I wear to my free evaluation class? +
Just comfortable athletic clothes. We will provide everything else you need for your first evaluation class.
How much does membership cost? +
We are not the cheapest academy in town - and that is intentional. We invest heavily in world-class coaching, a clean facility, and a culture focused on helping people become stronger on and off the mats. Your first evaluation class is free and we will walk you through all the options in person. No pressure.
Am I locked into a contract? +
No. We have a variety of memberships and you stay because you want to - never because you are locked in.
What happens at my free evaluation class? +
You will be welcomed, paired with an experienced member or coach, and walked through the basics. No pressure to sign up - just come see if it is for you.
Your first evaluation class is free.
No experience, no contract, no pressure. Book it in 30 seconds and come see what you are capable of.
