Martial Arts Schools in Austin

“If I could give 100 out of 5 stars, I would. The teaching here is not just focused on the techniques but also on the right mental model in the ring and outside the ring. The coaches are top notch - very highly accomplished. They just brought in Coach Cody, who leads the USA team in some martial arts verticals. Coach Amador is tough on what he wants from kids but also really friendly and kind - he lets my younger one go on the mat with my elder one on saturdays to hone that leadership skill in my elder one and to give an accelerated learning environment for my younger one.

The best!“

“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!“

“Black Widow MMA is hands down one of the best martial arts gyms I have come across in Austin and it has completely transformed the way I approach fitness and training. The gym offers a fantastic range of classes including Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing and MMA for all skill levels so whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor you will feel right at home from day one. The coaching staff is knowledgeable, passionate and genuinely invested in every single member which makes the learning experience incredibly rewarding. What really sets this place apart is the community because there are absolutely no big egos on the mats and everyone is there to support each other and grow together. The facility is clean and well organized and the free trial day is a fantastic way to experience everything before committing which shows just how confident they are in what they offer.“

“Our family has been training at Invictus Martial Arts for the past four years and we truly can’t imagine our lives without it. The instructors have created an incredible environment that is rooted in discipline, respect, and fun. Through MMA training we have gained valuable life skills, become physically stronger and more confident. We’ve also built lasting friendships and become part of a community that feels like family. We can’t imagine not being a part of Invictus and highly recommend it to everyone. IMA!“

“Mr.Maddox, Miss Lucy and entire team of Tiger Rock is incredible. Classes are conducted in very engaging and creative manner. The atmosphere is very positive and encouraging. Each child is given personal attention and our kids love coming to Tiger Rock.“

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

“Everybody helps you..even though you haven't train on your life. I will describe with one word brotherhood. OSS“

“Our 10 year old daughter started with Legacy Martial Arts and it has been an incredible experience for her. She loves the challenges physically and mentally, the discipline and honor is refreshing and so cool to witness. Guro Larry has an infectious positive attitude that truly works so well with kids! So grateful we found this place! Highly recommend for kids and adults!“

“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“

“I was traveling from Massachusetts. I scheduled a drop in on the advice of my professor. Professor Esfiha and his instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. I felt right at home and appreciated my short time there. If I lived in the area, it would %100 be my primary place to train!“

“Great training program and the instructors are top notch. They focus on real life applications of the martial art and not just forms or useless drills.“

“I had the best 4 years in Austin at Rising Sun Aikido dojo. Leslie sensei and all the senseis here have given me so much to learn with their generous and kind teachings. The community here is incredible and I will highly recommend anyone to try Aikido here - even if it’s just coming in for a trail class to get a good roll or stretch!“

“I thoroughly enjoy my time at Belterra taekwondo. Grand Master Park is an excellent teacher and it's been great getting to know the other students. Everyone is there working hard to get better. Even for an over 60 guy like me, it is terrific!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Put my kids on the kids program they have loved it. And they come home acting better and tired. Would recommend it to any parent looking for a safe sport for their kids!“

“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.“
