The TFI standard
Most people walk in for confidence, fitness, or self-defense. They stay for who they become on the mat.
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
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.
Practical skill built on leverage and technique — not size or strength.
The calm of knowing they can handle themselves follows them off the mat.
Strength, conditioning and discipline — without it ever feeling like a chore.
Absorbing, chess-like problem solving that builds focus and patience.
All ages and sizes — sustainable for decades. Kids start exactly where they are.
An hour where the only thing that exists is the next move. Kids leave calmer and more energized.
