Traditional Taekwondo and Jiu Jitsu for ages 4 and up, led by Grandmaster Richard Johnson, 9th Degree Grandmaster, training South Austin families for over 30 years at Brodie Lane.
One school, every age. From a 4-year-old's first stance to an adult's first Jiu Jitsu roll, there's a class built for exactly where your family is starting.
Short, structured drills built for tiny attention spans: listening, sharing the mat, and the first taste of real discipline.
Start here → Ages 7-12🎯Real Taekwondo technique, belt by belt, built to grow the focus and confidence that follows a kid into the classroom.
Explore → Ages 6-12🤼Ground-based grappling that teaches patience and problem-solving, and gives quieter kids a real way to stand up for themselves.
Explore → Teens + Adults🔥TKD and Jiu Jitsu tracks for teens and adults who want real conditioning and real self-defense, not just a gym membership.
Train → Families🚌Direct pickup from AISD campuses, homework time, then class. One less thing on a working parent's schedule.
Ask us →Every parent who walks in the door at Brodie Lane is carrying one of these three questions. Here's how a real Grandmaster's program answers them.
The belt system turns effort into visible progress in weeks, not months. Kids see themselves get better, and that feeling walks out the door with them.
Traditional TKD and Jiu Jitsu are built on structure and listening before technique. Parents consistently notice the classroom spillover before they notice the kicks improve.
No screens on the mat. Just movement, a real instructor, and other kids working toward the same stripes. It's the easiest "no phones" hour of the week to sell a kid on.
An illustrative weekly grid, the way a parent glancing at their phone before dinner actually wants to see it: one table, every program, every time.

"My son used to melt down over every little thing. Six months of Karate Cubs later, he tells me to 'breathe through it' before I even get the words out."
"Training under a 9th Degree Grandmaster isn't something you find at every strip-mall gym. You can feel the difference the first class in."
"The after-school pickup saved our whole afternoon. He does homework, trains, and I pick up a kid who's already tired and happy instead of bouncing off the walls."
This is a small preview of the same analytics layer that runs behind every site I build: which channel actually drives a trial class, not just a click. All figures below are demo data for illustration.
/r/twp-fb96 clicks/r/twp-gbp203 clicks/r/twp-ig119 clicks"Claim My Free Trial Class" vs. "Watch a Class First" as the primary button, measuring which one produces more completed trial-class signups, not just more clicks.
Leading with the Monthly Unlimited tier vs. leading with the Family Plan, measuring which framing gets more families past the pricing section to the CTA.
No long-term contracts. Pause or adjust your plan anytime.
Karate Cubs starts at age 4 with a program built for that age: shorter drills, more structure, and a big focus on listening before technique. Kids TKD and Kids Jiu Jitsu pick up from age 6 to 7 through 12, with Teens and Adults tracks after that.
Both are welcome. Plenty of parents drop off and watch from the lobby, and you're always welcome to sit in on a class before your student ever steps on the mat.
It varies by student and how often they train, but a real black belt under a Grandmaster's curriculum is typically a multi-year path. That's the point: it's an earned rank, not a belt mill that hands them out on a schedule.
No long-term contract required to get started. Membership is month to month, and it can be paused or adjusted anytime life gets busy.
