Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Austin, TX
AMP BJJ is Austin's family Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training center — three academies, one mat philosophy, and a program built so parents and kids can train the same martial art.
Austin has no shortage of martial arts schools. What most parents are actually looking for is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that works for a whole household: a 4-year-old, a middle-schooler, and a parent who hasn't trained since high school PE. AMP runs that under one roof at Westlake Hills (Bee Caves Rd), Northwest Hills (Spicewood Springs), and Cedar Park (Whitestone).
BJJ is the martial art we teach because it builds confidence and control without punching or kicking. Kids learn to solve problems on the ground. Adults get a craft they can practice for decades. Families train side by side in our Family Class — the program that makes AMP different from an adult gym with a kids class taped on.

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.

Where can I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Austin?
AMP BJJ has three Austin-area academies: Westlake Hills on Bee Caves Rd (next to Eanes Elementary), Northwest Hills on Spicewood Springs Rd, and Cedar Park on Whitestone Blvd. Pick the closest — memberships work across Austin locations.
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a good martial art for Austin kids?
Yes — especially if you want real self-defense without punching or kicking. AMP's kids program starts at age 3 (Preschool) and splits Youth classes by age so a 6-year-old isn't training with a 12-year-old.
Can parents and kids train BJJ together in Austin?
Yes. The Family Class is AMP's flagship — parents and kids drill the same techniques on the same mat, same schedule, at all three Austin academies.
How much does BJJ cost in Austin at AMP?
Austin memberships start at $39/week for one class per week, $59/week unlimited, or $99/week Family Unlimited for the whole household. No contracts. First class is free.
