Martial Arts Schools in Austin

“My three year old and six year old are in class here and we love it. The instructors are wonderful. Our children are learning a lot more than taekwondo!“

“Gabriel (5 years old) has been attending Austin Karate Academy for six months now, and our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. The sensei is truly remarkable—my child loves spending time with him and looks forward to every session. The dojo provides a welcoming and motivating environment where students can thrive.

One of the standout features of Austin Karate Academy is their online resources. These resources are incredibly well-designed, allowing students to practice at home effectively. It's clear that a lot of thought and effort has gone into making these materials accessible and useful.

The dedication and passion of the team at Austin Karate Academy are evident in everything they do. They not only teach karate but also instill discipline and foster a strong, supportive community. My child has grown not just in skill but also in character, thanks to the positive influence of the academy.

If you're looking for a place where your child can learn martial arts in a nurturing and inspiring setting, I highly recommend Austin Karate Academy. It's a wonderful place for kids to develop their skills, discipline, and confidence.“

“Invictus Martial Arts is a great place! I take my kid here for karate/MMA lessons. Excellent staff. Nice facility. Highly recommended.“

“I really love that my two children, Edrian Vivian and my niece Ashly, are learning at this school.., excellent place to learn self-defense., discipline., respect., all their teachers are great..,“

“Both my kids and I go to Aim and Focus for learning not just karate, but also discipline, focus and achieving something together. The instructors here are always respectful and are tough (only for the love of the art) but also caring. It has been a great experience and we all share a bond with the school and between us through our time and memories here! TANG SOO!P.S. This is not a belt factory like the teachers say, you really have to earn your rank here“

“Solid team and trainers with a a few active competitors/fighters. Female owned as well.“

“At Mario Esfiha Brasa BJJ, the community is unmatched. From the instructors to fellow students, everyone supports and encourages each other. It's more than just a gym; it's a tight-knit family where you'll find camaraderie and lasting friendships. If you're looking for a supportive community to enhance your BJJ journey, Mario Esfiha Brasa BJJ is the place to be!“

“Great instructors, SO much talent and years of dedication to each individual art, and an amazing gym community!“

“We love Lakeway Taekwondo. The whole team is amazing. Our both kids learn a lot and look forward for the class every week. Would recommend anyone to Lakeway Taekwondo without hesitation.“

“Master Perkins clearly cares about his students and their progress. His studio is clean and he emphasizes safety. Appropriate mix of poomsae, self defense, and sparring following the WT/Kukkiwon curriculum. Classes are much smaller than other places (around 4-6 students) which ensures a lot of individual attention.“

“Started learning Aikido here through Sensi's Mark and Joani offering introductory 6 classes at our church. I was motivated for my daughter to learn some self defense before going to college. I'm still learning at the dojo and she graduates with a masters degree in May 2024. I am also motivated to change minds from ego to spirt centric. Grand Master Frank's books as well as presence at the dojo helps me more than words can say!!! The physical aspect of training is not that strenuous but keep up with it and the benefit and self defense confidence is getting better all the time.“

“This is a fantastic school to learn Tae Kwon Do! My daughter started when she was 5 and has loved every class. Grandmaster John Park is patient, yet firm. We noticed a major boost in my daughter's self-esteem, situational awareness, confidence and coordination. There are also adult classes! Highly recommend!“

“I've been training in Rising Sun Dojo for almost 3 years now. Sensei Leslie is a wonderful and most dedicated teacher. Every class is an exciting journey. I would definitely recommend trying the 2 week beginner program.“

“I have known Master Webb for several years and he is a very knowledgeable instructor of the arts and self-defense. I also work with him professionally in private security as well. As a martial arts master myself in Tae Kwon Do/Hapkido, I know guys that are the real thing and people that are not when it comes to teaching. Master Webb is the real deal in Wing Chun. I recommend Master Webb for adult self-defense tactics.As far as location and the gentlemen that gave a low rating because of that. First of all, I never have a problem contacting Sifu Webb and for those of you looking for Austin Ving Tsun, it is in Lake Creek Office Park and it is the only building in the center of the complex.As a fellow martial artist and brother in the security agency, I appreciate you Sifu Webb.“

“Great gym to learn grappling at. Much more down to earth than other more esoteric martial arts schools I’ve been to. I’ve been going about 4 hrs a week for a year and have learned so much in that time. Awesome vibes and would definitely recommend for anybody wanting to learn“

“Love the program and friendly instructors! We have been at Tiger Rock almost a year and have had a wonderful experience! Highly recommend it!“

“I started training at Vandry BJJ in 2019, having never trained in martial arts before, and it's been a great. There is a good community and training partners, and safe instruction by William. I'm glad my bjj journey started here!“

“I have been training in Kung Fu there now for two years. Sifu Leverett has created an environment that supports the growth and training of a wide range of students. Come for a class and check it out.“

“I love being part of this gym. Everyone is friendly and patient with beginners. Sean is an excellent teacher. Well worth the investment.“

“W3LL : I'll save the Crypto-Talk for another time; I went for 8 weeks...Highly Recommend one of the Following -->1) Private Sessions1a) Because you'll only be conditioning if you're not part of a 'Program' (there are 3)2) Group Classes2a) This is operated by a great guy - he's patient and you'll get his input or recommendations3) Light Cross Training3a) There's room & space to practice agility plus a weight room + cable-exercises.Down (Reason for 4)Sometimes someone cooks something and trying to NOT break your diet becomes a distraction.I also recommened going, if you're 'gym only during non-MMA-type classes ; it's far from 'over-crowded' but if you're there for more than 75min you'll be distracted.Boxing & Kickboxing Coaches are Professionally-Friendly, they have larger lockers, stalls and showers (>1); I recommend taking plenty of water and if you're committed perhaps a diet that allows for continuous training becomes possible.I recommend trying for a 2 months at a time or 2 months on and 3 months off -- if you're uncertain with Strict Training. It's not 'you must work-out...but everyone trains for their Respected Sport.Parking is so/so.Drink Fridge.Scan-Keyring Badge.“

“Initially, Kuk Sool Won helped me manage as a single mother of four, there wasn’t enough time to drive each child to different activities, and martial arts was my way of staying fit, we took classes together, and traveled to tournaments; but the more exciting thing is that the whole school is one big family!
I was pregnant with my fourth child when I was a yellow belt , and got all the way up to second Dan Brown; I stopped for 20 years because of health issues and I’m just now coming back as a white belt ; people I was students with are now highly ranked instructors, it’s just amazing
♥️?♥️ if you are a senior like me with joint issues, come to the “Silver Dragons” Tuesday and Thursday mornings?????“

“My son has enjoyed his experience at Tiger Rock! It has helped with discipline and confidence.“
