This is the best jiu jitsu gym I have ever been to. We’ve tried others, and nothing has compared to the experience at headwaters. Liz & Adrian are so friendly, patient and kind with the kids! Adrian really goes above and beyond to teach more than just jiu jitsu, but also life skills. We love that it’s nogi, it really takes the pressure off for classes. We are lifers with this gym! So thankful to have found an amazing jiu jitsu family!

We’ve been taking our son to Headwaters Jiu Jitsu for about a year now and love it. Coach Adrian is extremely patient with beginners and younger kids while also providing a great structure and sense of respect amongst all classmates. It is one of the highlights of our son’s week!

We’ve been going to the kids no-gi class for over a year now. My boys absolutely love this class and coach Adrian is amazing and patient with the kids. He is able to meet each of them at the level they are and get them to progress. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

Love this place! My kids have a great time while building confidence, coordination and character. The entire Amaya family is amazing. The loving, respectful environment they have created is top tier. It’s truly an amazing experience and I feel blessed to be a part of the headwaters family.

I’ve trained at many gyms around the San Marcos/Austin area and I can confidently say that Headwaters is not only my favorite but the absolute best as well. The gym culture is fantastic and the facility itself is kept immaculately clean. Also, Coach Adrian is top tier and will give in depth and personalized instruction that is not seen at other gyms. I’ve never had to worry about safety, cleanliness, or judgement at Headwaters. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
