It just so happens we teach jiu-jitsu too
Renzo Gracie Lakeway Jiujitsu, formerly Gracie Barra Lakeway, is proud to deliver world class service and jiujitsu instruction to the Lakeway and the surrounding communities of Lake Travis.
For the last ten years, we've been a staple of the community and have long been considered the number one place for jiu-jitsu and self-defense instruction!
Jiujitsu is a martial art or combat sport that emphasizes grappling and ground fighting. Derived from Judo, it's about using technique and leverage to defend against bigger opponents.
Jiujitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger attacker by using proper technique, leverage, and grappling strategy.
This is what makes Jiujitsu so effective compared to other martial arts.
Jiujitsu offers a comprehensive fitness regimen, engaging the entire body for strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Its dynamic nature hits all the body's energy systems and can produce efficient calorie burn, aid in weight loss and cardiovascular health.
With increased stamina and mobility, practitioners experience heightened energy levels in daily life, promoting overall wellness and vitality.
Jiujitsu fosters a tight-knit community built on trust and support. Training partnerships form deep friendships, creating an inclusive environment where individuals of diverse backgrounds connect and grow together.
Sharing triumphs and setbacks strengthens bonds, enriching social well-being and providing a supportive network for personal development you won't find anywhere else.
The journey of mastering jiujitsu instills discipline and promotes continual self-improvement.
Dedication, patience, and perseverance are essential as practitioners progress through levels. Values like respect and humility learned on the mat transcend into daily life, shaping character and fostering resilience. Embracing jiujitsu as a lifelong practice facilitates profound personal growth and fulfillment.
At Renzo Gracie Jiujitsu Lakeway, we provide a fun, safe and friendly environment for jiu-jitsu athletes (and non athletes!) of all skill levels.

Our 4200 square foot facility comes equipped with mens and womens locker rooms and showers as well as over 1600 square feet of mat space. And because we have such an excellent community, we have plenty of areas for people to lounge and relax while they’re here.

“Renzo Gracie Lakeway is a great place for community and BJJ. My son has now been training for over a year and still enjoys it very much. Professor Ricardo does a great job being responsive, communicating and delivering exciting classes for all of his students. Professors Alex, Anne and Brian also are amazing and genuinely enjoy educating others. After several months of seeing my sons competency improve on the mats I decided to start.
Wow I didn’t know what I was missing. Now it’s an addiction. The community they have developed is fanatic and supportive for everyone to grow both on the mats and outside the classroom. I’m addition to Gi and No-Gi classes they also offer supplemental instruction into Judo and Wrestling. We are lucky to have these fellow students who have mastered these arts part of our community. I encourage everyone to get their families involved and start the journey with Renzo Gracie Lakeway Jiujitsu!”

“Started at Renzo Gracie Lakeway Jiujitsu in March and can not overstate how much of a positive impact this place has had on my life. My conditioning is the best it has ever been and my overall general health has improved due to the increase in exercise.
In addition to the physical benefits, the community surrounding RGA Lakeway is outstanding. It is a wholly positive, encouraging climate where everyone works hard but keeps each other safe. Everyone is supportive and wants to help each other grow.
Can not recommend this place enough. Very welcoming.”
- Eddie D.
“I can’t say enough about this school.
We originally found Renzo Gracie Lakeway Jiujitsu when looking for a jiu jitsu school for our then 3 year old. The goals were to improve motor control, discipline, and of course self defense. We are happy to say expectations were met and exceeded and he still loves attending classes 3 years later. On a more personal note, I finally broke down and started attending classes 6 months ago after making excuses for years. Part of this was to better support my son through his journey, but there was always a fascination while watching classes.
I now look back and wonder how I lived without this community of amazing people for so long. Aside from the people, my fitness level is much better, my levels of stress are much lower, and I am overall much happier.
It’s a strange concept that people trying to submit you leads to a higher level of happiness, but that’s part of the magic of jiu jitsu. ”
- Brian K.
