Martial Arts Schools in Cedar Park

“From booking the initial trial class to enrollment, this studio/school has been great. Very welcome and warming. The entire process has been a breeze and David was excellent with helping with enrollment and answering any and all questions—in person and via text which was a huge help considering how convenient it was to text to communicate! My daughter enjoyed her first class, she was a little shy at first, but they helped her warm right up and now she can’t wait to go for her second class! She’s super excited and I love seeing it!“

“My kids have been training here for 7 years. The kids programs teach not only self-defense but also other life skills such as discipline, respect, and responsibility. The curriculum is structured and addresses real life situations. Alec, the owner and the team are a positive force in my kids lives. Their motto: mind strong, body strong, spirit strong!“

“Greatest wrestling gym in Texas. Coach Ivan makes wrestling fun and a positive experience. This isn’t just a place to learn wrestling but to build character. Thank you so much for all you do for the children. Also, the facilities are clean and the place is spacious and bright. Wonderful place for my son to learn wrestling.“

“I am a proud parent of a child who attended the Austin Shotokan Karate Academy from third grade through high school. My son has since graduated from college in 2023, and is looking to start his career, while attending graduate school.

Austin Shotokan Karate Academy has been extremely instrumental in preparing him, not only in learning patience, endurance, perseverance, or diligence, but in various characteristics that come with learning skills and techniques such as balance, stamina, leadership, and being a good listener team player.

After receiving his black belt in his senior year of high school, my son was awarded a full scholarship to play college football in Oklahoma. Playing the position of left tackle and left guard, my son informed his father and me, that without the skills he learned throughout his years in Sensei Chip’s dojo, he would not have been as prepared mentally or physically for what was required of him on the field every Saturday for four years as a starter.

We believe as a family that the Austin Shotokan Karate Academy is one of the best academies in Austin! We would highly recommend it to any parent who is seeking a professional karate school that focuses on the student, and not on belt status or money. Sensei Chip and the rest of his teaching staff are professionals and have a deep joy in what they do.

My son, husband and I recently visited the dojo, and we could see the excitement in the faces of each student who participated. Every student was engaged while Sensei Chip and his teaching staff actively worked with students throughout the dojo. Each teacher is assigned a group to ensure that proper techniques are being taught and that students are comprehending what they’re learning.

If you or your child are interested in learning karate and want to attend a school focused on good-quality, old-school training, please check out Austin Shotokan Karate Academy. I promise they won’t disappoint you! ?“
