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!“

“We LOVE AKA!
Dedicated and caring instructors, fun learning environment and much more!“

“I honestly can't explain how great this place and the owners are. They are extremely patient with our kids while ensuring they are learning and growing at the same time. We are regulars now and plan on continuing for a long time!“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Is always a pleasure to journey into the dojo. Still new to aikido and thankful, none the less, to learn under Leslie sensei. Hopeful for good progress.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“I've been training here since 2003. Grandmaster Lee is amazing. Every class starts with 20 minutes of stretching. Then we learn kicks, punches, falls, self-defense, sparring, weapons, and general well-being. This is a family martial arts center that has something for everyone.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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“

“We love Oak Hill KSW! Since joining this summer after a move, we have seen incredible progress in our son’s skills, confidence. We know these are a direct result of the time and attention each of the instructors offer. We know they will prepare him physically and mentally to handle any difficulties that may come!!“

“My son is happy to do anything but was never truly excited about anything UNTIL Tiger Rock. He loves it and wants to go literally EVERY class. I love it too. I appreciate that it’s a balance of structure and fun with respect at all times. I also love that from martial arts class to after schools care to weekly summer camps (also my son’s favorite) that they are a working caregiver’s dream. They even have a Tiger Cub daycare program starting this year.

From curriculum to lesson planning and execution, to the amazing staff, I give Tiger Rock my highest recommendation.“

“This is the most incredible group of people. I was searching for Qigong when I found Gene, and I feel so lucky. Take advantage of the free classes he offers to new people and you’ll be amazed in what you’re going to learn about yourself and how you handle and move in your surroundings.“

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