Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Northwest Hills, TX
Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on Spicewood Springs Road — a deep weekday afternoon and evening schedule, built for north Austin's busiest parents.
Northwest Hills parents come to us looking for the same thing: a real martial arts program that works for kids and doesn't make them sit through hours of forms. Our Youth BJJ program (ages 6–13) is built around how kids actually learn — short instruction bursts, lots of partner drilling, and live problem-solving against another kid. No striking, no hazing, and no McDojo belt mills.
The Northwest Hills schedule on Spicewood Springs runs deep on weekday afternoons and evenings — the times that actually work for working parents on the north side of town. We also run an After School pickup program from select Northwest Hills-area schools (Doss, Hill, Davis, and others), with supervised homework time, a real BJJ class, and a snack before pickup. By the time you arrive, your kid is tired, fed, and homework is done.

Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Northwest Hills — common questions.
What schools does AMP BJJ Northwest Hills pick up from?
Our Northwest Hills After School program picks up from select schools in the Doss, Hill, Davis, and Murchison Middle catchment areas. The exact school list changes year to year — call 512-866-0780 to confirm yours.
Are the Northwest Hills kids classes split by age?
Yes — Youth BJJ at our Spicewood Springs academy runs separate 6–9 and 10–13 tracks, plus a teen track for 14+. The age splits matter — they keep the mat safe and the technique appropriate.
Can my Northwest Hills kid also do the Family Class?
Yes — the Family Class at Northwest Hills lets parents and kids train together on the same mat. Many Northwest Hills families have a kid in Youth BJJ during the week and the whole family on the mat together for Family Class.
Is BJJ better than karate or taekwondo for kids?
Most parents in Northwest Hills who compare options end up choosing BJJ. Unlike karate or taekwondo, BJJ is grappling-based with no striking — so kids learn real self-defense without throwing or taking punches, and the technique works against bigger, stronger opponents because it's leverage-based.
Will my kid actually learn to defend themselves?
Yes. Our kids in Northwest Hills learn to handle being grabbed, pushed, tackled, or pinned — without panicking. Just as important, they learn to de-escalate, talk first, and only use jiu-jitsu when there's no other option. That's the whole point of training a real martial art.
What if my kid is shy or hates contact sports?
Some of our best kids in Northwest Hills started exactly that way. Our first goal is making the room feel safe — coaches who don't yell, older kids who mentor the new ones, and a first class with zero pressure. Most shy kids loosen up by class three or four.
Where exactly is AMP BJJ Northwest Hills?

Is there a coffee shop or somewhere to wait near the academy?
Yes — Spicewood Springs has Edison Chocolate next door and several spots within a 2-minute walk. Most parents grab a coffee and watch class from the lobby.
