Four locations across Austin and Baton Rouge. Background-checked, CPR and SafeSport certified coaches. Real BJJ, taught by people who've been doing this for years.
AMP BJJ started with a simple problem: the family schedule never fit the gym schedule. Parents were dropping kids off for class, sitting in the lobby, then driving home — and never getting any training in themselves. We flipped the model. The Family Class — where parents and kids train together on the same mat — is the room we built first, and everything else grows out of it.
Today we coach hundreds of families across four locations in Austin, TX and Baton Rouge, LA. Parents tell us the change shows up at home — more focus, more patience, better sleep, and a shared language for working through hard moments. Kids get real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, real self-defense, and a confidence that follows them into the classroom and the world.
We're not a contract mill. We're not chasing trophies. We're a family-first academy trying to do the small thing well: keep your family safe, teach them something that matters, and make the mat feel like home.
Every coach on our floor meets the same standards before they teach a single class.
Every instructor on our mats passes a full background screening before they ever coach your child.
All AMP coaches maintain current CPR and First Aid certifications — required, not optional.
Our staff completes SafeSport training in athlete safety, abuse prevention, and reporting.
AMP coaches are career instructors — not part-time hobbyists — with years of mat hours teaching kids and adults.
AMP coaches use the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA), grounded in Ecological Dynamics — a modern, science-backed coaching method that's changing how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is taught around the world.
Instead of memorizing techniques in a vacuum, students learn by solving real problems in live, age-appropriate games. We design the environment — the position, the rules, the partner — so the right skill emerges naturally. The result: faster learning, better retention, and skills that actually work when it counts.
It's also why AMP classes are safe and fun. Kids aren't drilling for fifty minutes hoping it sticks — they're playing focused games that build real jiu-jitsu, with a coach watching every interaction.
Parents and kids train side by side. It's how trust gets built — at the gym and at the dinner table.
No fixed class day or time. Train whenever your week allows, switch between limited and unlimited anytime, and we'll put all your kids in the same class — even across age groups — so drop-off is one trip, not three.
We teach actual jiu-jitsu, taught the right way for every age. No watered-down kids' version.
No gurus, no high-pressure contracts. Walk in, train, leave better than you came.
Focus, listening, and confidence built through play.
Real BJJ, real self-defense, real life skills.
Every level, from first-timer to competition-ready.
Parents and kids on the same mat, in the same class.
"We LOVE AMP BJJ! Our son started going right before he turned 4. The coaches are all so patient, amazing with kids, and encouraging; all while instilling respect, discipline, and a new skill set in this age group — a tough task, but they do it with ease! It's been so awesome to watch him grow and flourish. We are so grateful to AMP!"

"I've been training jiujitsu for 5 years along with my daughter (6 years). After leaving our former gym, we were searching for a new home. Blessed to have found a gym with such a welcoming & supportive environment (especially for female athletes). Thank you AMP BJJ!"

"We couldn't be happier. Signing up was easy, the coaches are great and the facility is clean. My kids were a little shy the first couple classes but are really starting to open up to the coaches. Encourage your kids to stick with it and they will come around. Highly recommend."

"Both of my kids started Jiujitsu and they have improved so much in such a short time! My son has gained so much confidence and my daughter has learned to be more patient and resilient. We are super happy with the classes and coaches. They make things fun but make sure the kids advance and learn new moves."
