Sensei Steve and Victor are not only world class competitors but instructors who create a welcoming environment for all skill levels from a day one beginner to someone with competitive aspirations. If you're in the Lake Travis area and looking for an academy that has a welcoming family environment, instructors who are passionate, professional and patient look no further.

Victor and Steve are outstanding professionals who really focus on teaching key concepts of BJJ vs simply teaching individual moves that aren’t really connected to each other. They have really created a fantastic atmosphere for learning. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join the Six Blades community.

I had never set foot in a Jiujitsu gym before coming here and was pretty nervous going in. That being said my nerves quickly dissipate because of how welcoming an atmosphere it was. My first class led by Steve was fun, interactive and informative with students of varying skill levels. I look forward to coming back and highly recommend Six Blades for anyone interested in starting or continuing to learn Jiujitsu.

I’ve trained all over the world and the program in place at Six Blades Lake Travis is one of the best I’ve seen. The facility is run in the true martial arts style and is clean and orderly. The knowledge of the instructors (led by World Champions Victor Hugo and Steve Hargett) is incredible and students are taught every aspect of JiuJitsu through a comprehensive curriculum rather than just random positions. This is where you want to train if you want to build a complete competency in classic JiuJitsu that works. It is also a place where competitors can take their game to the next level and be a part of a team of training partners and coaches who will support you throughout the preparation phase and at tournaments.

The space is very nice and clean, has a very nice vibe I can’t describe. The coaches are very kind, serene and fun for the kids. My 7 year old tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the first time this week and she absolutely loved it! She had so much fun and says she wants to do it forever :)

This is truly an amazing gym. Professor Steve and Professor Victor break down the instruction to a level that anyone can understand. They both do a great job of analyzing positions and teaching every detail. Not only do they show you how to do things, they show you why, which can be just as important. Everyone is welcoming and down-to-earth. The gym is meticulously clean which is very much appreciated. It's an honor to get this level of teaching from a couple of highly decorated world champions.

My wife and I enrolled our oldest son into the children's classes, and he loved it from the very first day. In fact, we watched him blossom in ways we've never seen before in terms of focus, body comfort, discipline, and physical ability. If you have a child with lots of energy, I highly recommend Six Blades Jiu Jitsu in Lake Travis. Overall, their teaching methods for small children are gentle, fun, creative, and generally outstanding. The teachers all demonstrate calm mastery themselves and are quite friendly, approachable, and human. As an added bonus, my wife and I paid attention to the lessons and were able to turn many of them into child-parent play games at home. These teachers and this school have my highest recommendation.

Jiu Jitsu as an Infinite Game at Six Blades Lake Travis

June 11, 2025

Welcome to Your Jiu Jitsu Journey 

At Six Blades, we strive to create the most welcoming environment for your Jiu Jitsu journey, where growth and community are at the heart of our practice. Creating this environment is vital to us, as our goal is to walk with each student on this journey to black belt and beyond. We believe that fostering the right training environment and sharing lessons and tips from those who have walked the path before can make your Jiu Jitsu journey just a little bit easier. 

The Infinite Game Mindset 

Today, I want to share insights from Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game to inspire a mindset that elevates your training and transforms how you approach Jiu Jitsu. 

Understanding Infinite vs. Finite Games 

Sinek explains that life, like Jiu Jitsu, is an infinite game. Unlike finite games—such as chess, with clear rules and a winner—infinite games have no endpoint, no ultimate “victory.” Sure, you might win a sparring round, a match, or a tournament, but the true goal is to keep playing, improving daily, adapting to challenges, and advancing a purpose. In Jiu Jitsu, a finite mindset focuses on “winning” sparring sessions, aiming to tap out your partner or dominate every roll. This approach, while tempting, limits your evolution. It prioritizes ego over learning, much like a business chasing short-term profits over lasting impact. Instead, embrace an infinite mindset: train to grow, support your teammates, and pursue our shared purpose of becoming better versions of ourselves. 

Training Partners as Worthy Rivals 

Your training partners are worthy rivals, not opponents to crush. They reveal your weaknesses—a disconnected guard, a rushed submission, or pressure without angles—pushing you to refine your game. Every practice is a chance to adapt your approach, whether it’s tightening your posture, focusing on breathing, or rethinking an escape. This mindset not only keeps you in the game but also aligns with our mission to deliver the best martial arts experience for every student in our Lake Travis academy and beyond. 

Celebrating Invisible Wins 

The true victories in Jiu Jitsu are often invisible, forged in the struggle and shared in our community. So, where are your invisible wins? Has your cardio improved, do you feel you are becoming more flexible, is your overall fitness much better than when you started? Have you found better emotional regulation, found a community of individuals with similar pursuits that inspire you to become your best version? The wins that you find in Jiu Jitsu are the heart of the infinite game. They reflect the resilience you build when you breathe through a tough position, the confidence you gain from surviving a round, and the bonds you form with teammates who push you to grow. 

Approach with Curiosity and Courage 

Whether you’re a white belt learning to defend, a blue belt mastering control, or a higher belt refining your craft, approach each class with curiosity and gratitude. As Sensei Xande said last week, “The only bad days are the days you’re not on the mat.” Train not to “win” the roll, but to advance your journey and uplift those around you. This infinite mindset takes courage—the courage to face setbacks, embrace feedback, and keep showing up. Together, we create a trusting team where everyone improves by feeling free to experiment, fail, and grow, continuing to win in this infinite game. 

Join Our Lake Travis Family 

At Six Blades, we foster a trusting team where you can experiment, fail, and grow. Approach each class with curiosity and gratitude, knowing your part of a community that uplifts everyone.
