John’s Gym Liberty Hill - Little Warriors Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ages 5-8
Johns Gym Liberty Hill - Junior Grapplers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ages 9-14

Coach Alex, along with his cadre of assistant coaches have brought an award winning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program to Liberty Hill, Texas.

John’s Gym Liberty Hill has recently been awarded the BEST KIDS ACTIVITY and BEST MARTIAL ART in the Liberty Hill Independent Magazine Reader’s Poll for 2022!

At John's Gym Liberty Hill our Little Warriors Martial Arts program is focused on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where our kids learn how to defend themselves, develop a warrior mindset and learn what it means to be a part of a team. 

Up until now you as a parent have had to choose between a practical martial art that builds true confidence, and  traditional martial arts programs that don't really have the practical self-defense aspect but good leadership programs. 

At John's Gym Liberty Hill, you get the best of both worlds; perhaps that's why our kids often win tournaments they enter while also training towards their Black Belt and growing into productive members of society. We have a great group of quality kids here at John's Gym Liberty Hill. Schedule your session to find out how we can positively impact your child's life.

  • We are an International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu certified training facility.
  • We teach practical self-defense techniques, no theories, katas or forms.
  • We have a very active competition team that travels to local BJJ tournaments.
  • Our coaches bring high energy and a positive atmosphere to the gym for the kids.
  • Beginner friendly gym that offers a systematized training curriculum to keep your child safe and efficiently teach them Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from day one.
  • Our Junior Grappler and Little Warrior classes has live sparring sessions to give your child safe and fun real world experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
  • Our belt grading system is dependent on how well your child grasps the techniques, rather than based on sole attendance. This helps your child develop an understanding that rewards are earned, never given. (We do not charge for belt promotions or testing…EVER)
  • Full time instructors and assistants that love teaching kids and are here to help in your child's advancement through our beginner program and beyond. All of our kid’s instructors are current or former police officers and first responders. Our instructors have participated in Jiu Jitsu tournaments and have applied this martial art in their careers to protect themselves and others so they are speaking from actual real world experience, not theory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see your question answered? Simply click the red Contact Button or call/TXT 512-710-9290, and we'll promptly reply.

Do you have classes for beginners?

Yes we do! Each one of our classes have techniques specifically for those that are brand new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  John’s Gym Liberty Hill often has 3-6 instructors on the mat, this ensures your child receives some individual attention while learning this martial art.

Will my child get hurt?

Although we cannot guarantee there won’t be some bumps and bruises along the way, rest assured that we have adequate staff at each class to ensure proper safety for your child.  This is an active sport which involves live sparring and sometimes, accidents happen.  However, if you let the coaches do what we do best, your child will come out the other side stronger and more determined than ever.

Will my child learn how to defend themselves?

Absolutely! At John’s Gym Liberty Hill, we focus on practical aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which translate directly to self-defense.  Your child will not learn katas, theories or forms.  Your child will not break a board.  We will not give your child a stick or a sword to swing around.  After time in training, your child will be prepared to handle any situation that arises.  Our parents feel safer and more secure knowing their child has a skillset to be able to defend themselves realistically!

Can my child try a class first to see if they like it?

Yes! Please contact us by calling or texting 512-710-9290.  We are available to answer any questions you have and schedule a trial class.

Will other kids try and hurt my child?

We have a safe environment for all levels and ages.  We split our children’s classes up by age groups so you can rest assured your child is training with someone their own age, weight and skill level.  John’s Gym Liberty Hill has a strict ‘no-bullies’ policy.  We have up to 6 coaches on the mat at a time for the children’s classes.  This helps in preventing any unnecessary injures or incidents.

Do the kids spar/roll during class?

At the end of every class, no matter the age group, our kids are encouraged to spar with their teammates.  This helps your child practice and get a realistic feel for the techniques they learn during class. However, this is not mandatory, if your child chooses not to spar, they do not have to! We also monitor each child closely.  If a coach believes a child needs more time to practice techniques at a slower pace they will keep them from sparring until that child is ready. 

When can my child start class?

Right. Now.  Our classes are on a rolling curriculum so your child can join in at anytime and not feel like they’ve missed anything.  Please contact us to schedule your child’s trial class today!

I’ve been to numerous Gyms and felt like a number or just a paying customer, even at times sort of feeling like an outcast to the other groups. But not here, this gym really is a family. From the first free trial class I attended to 3 months later, I regularly speak to my fellow gym members outside of class and have a real bond with everyone there. To make it even better, the coaches are so passionate about what they teach and work with everyone no matter the skill level of the student. I strongly recommend this gym to anyone looking to better their life in every way! I can’t wait to have my son join! Thanks Johns Gym!

I've been going to the John's Gym Liberty Hill location for about 5 months now (as a complete BJJ rookie), and have loved every minute and day I've trained. Coach Alex, Nate, and Z make it easy for beginners to learn in a non-intimidating setting, no matter how skilled they themselves may be. Aside from learning martial arts skills that can help you in your daily life, I've grown to love and cherish the members of my gym like my own blood and family. The bond we have in and outside of the gym is unlike any other I've seen at a gym, and it makes me look forward to going into class every week!

I've been attending John's Gym Liberty Hill for about 5-6 months now. I was going in with prior experience and can say with confidence that the two lead instructors, Coach Nate and Coach Alex, are very technically savvy and amazing teachers...

I'd recommend this gym to anyone else looking for a place to try a new martial art or for someone who's versed in the sport to come and hone their skills. The amazing people here make it a lot of fun to hang out after work and do some exercise at the same time.
