About
new breed
Founded in 2023, New Breed Academy - Jiu-Jitsu & Fitness Central Texas was created to bring the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to central Texas. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, “the gentle art” is a ground based martial art which teaches the practitioner how to defend themselves from the ground utilizing a variety of submissions, sweeps and takedowns.
​
Our goal at New Breed is to bring high level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a friendly and welcoming environment. We value our students and are determined to help each of our students grow as students and as an individuals.

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is driving distance from the Copperas Cove, Killeen, Kempner, Harker Heights & Lampasas Areas!
Meet the Team
Professor Lea Young was a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu when she started teaching at New Breed Kauai under the tutelage of Master Johnny Ramirez, the founder of New Breed Academy in Santa Fe Springs, California. After relocating from Kauai, Hawaii, to Washington State in 2016, Lea received her black belt in December 2019 from Professors Rodrigo Lopes and Carlos Sievert of Gracie Barra Seattle.
Although she has not always been a part of the New Breed family throughout her entire black belt journey, New Breed has always held a special place in her heart and she looks forward to growing and continuing to help students build themselves through New Breed’s martial arts journey.
