Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Austin, TX
AMP BJJ runs beginner-friendly adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at all three Austin locations — Northwest Hills, Westlake Hills, and Cedar Park. Seven days a week. No striking, no hazing, no 'tough guy' culture.
Most adults who walk into their first BJJ class in Austin are nervous about the same things: I'm too old, I'm out of shape, I'll be the worst one in the room, I'll get hurt, everyone's going to be 22 and trying to kill me. None of that is true here, and within a couple of weeks you'll forget you ever worried about it. Our fundamentals classes are built specifically for adults who've never grappled before — first-timers, parents, desk workers, women, late starters, people coming back to training after years away.
BJJ is a craft you can practice for the next 30 years. It builds real composure under pressure, gets you in the best shape you've been in for years almost as a side effect, and connects you to a community of grown-ups who become some of the closest friends you'll ever have. Train as little as once a week or as often as every day — your membership works either way.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the martial art most parents pick in Austin.
When parents look for martial arts classes for kids in Austin, they're usually choosing between karate, taekwondo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). BJJ is the modern grappling-based martial art that's grown the fastest with families — and for good reason.
Unlike striking-based martial arts, BJJ teaches kids how to defend themselves without throwing or taking punches. It's a thinking martial art — closer to a live chess match than a sparring drill — and it scales from a 3-year-old in our Preschool class all the way up to parents in our Adult class.
- No striking, no head trauma — kids learn to solve problems on the ground, not throw punches.
- Real self-defense that actually works against a bigger person — based on leverage, not size.
- Builds focus, confidence, and respect in every class through our Winning Ways character curriculum.
- Parents can train the exact same martial art alongside their kids in our Family Class.
- Recommended by pediatricians and parents for kids with ADHD, autism, or extra energy to burn.
