What The BEST Martial Arts Gym Award Means to Us

Being named the best martial arts gym in Bastrop County is a recognition of the work, heart, and consistency that our entire team and students have put into Airlock since day one.

Over the past 2.5 years, we’ve poured our energy into building something different. A gym where:

People feel welcome, not intimidated
Beginners and seasoned practitioners train side by side
Kids grow in confidence and kindness, not just in technique
And No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is seen as a tool for growth

From our adult No-Gi BJJ program to Muay Thai & kickboxing striking classes, self-defense classes, and our kids martial arts programs, we’ve aimed to create a space where Bastrop locals could thrive, grow, and push their limits. Check out our schedule.
