The highest-rated jiu jitsu near Lake Travis, from families with kids at every level — from day one to years on the mat.

★★★★★

"I visited 4 different schools before entrusting TFI Lake Travis with my 6 year old daughter. I wanted safety, character development, and world class instruction. Of the schools I visited, TFI was clearly superior in each category. The low student-teacher ratio means every student gets detailed attention and trains safely. One year later, the growth in my daughter's confidence and discipline has been tremendous."

"My son and I have been training at TFI Lake Travis for three years now, and it's been so much more than jiu-jitsu — it's a real community for both of us. The instructors are high-level competitors, yet remarkably humble and kind, helping every student progress at their own pace. Three years in, we've found a second family on the mats."

"This gym is not only a training facility, but a family. They took in my awkward teen three years ago and turned him into a confident young man who didn't need to be reminded to get out the door to train. Thank you for the discipline and the friendships!"

What jiu-jitsu gives you

More than a workout.

Kids rarely come to jiu jitsu for activity alone. They come for something that asks all of them — and gives back more confidence and discipline than anyone expected.

Real self-defense

Practical skill built on leverage and technique — not size or strength.

Confidence that carries

The calm of knowing they can handle themselves follows them off the mat.

Full-body fitness

Strength, conditioning and discipline — without it ever feeling like a chore.

Sharper mind

Absorbing, chess-like problem solving that builds focus and patience.

For every body

All ages and sizes — sustainable for decades. Kids start exactly where they are.

Stress relief

An hour where the only thing that exists is the next move. Kids leave calmer and more energized.

Questions, answered

Everything parents ask.

Does my child need any experience? +
None at all. Most kids walk in having never trained jiu-jitsu, and every class is structured so they can follow from day one.
My child already trains. Is this a good fit? +
Absolutely. We coach every level with a structured curriculum and strong training partners across the belts. Kids with experience and visiting students are always welcome on the mat.
Can my child do this if they are shy or not athletic? +
Yes. Jiu-jitsu runs on leverage and technique, not size or athleticism. Our classes are built for every personality and body type, and your child progresses at their own pace.
What should my child wear and bring to their first class? +
Just comfortable athletic clothes. We provide everything else they need for their first 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 kids become confident, capable people. Their first class is free and we will walk you through the options in person. No pressure.
Am I locked into a contract? +
No. Membership is month to month. Your child stays because they want to — never because you are locked in.
What happens at my child's free class? +
They will be welcomed, paired with a coach, and walked through the basics in a structured, supervised class. No pressure to sign up — just come see if it is a fit.

Your child's first jiu-jitsu class is free.
