Martial Arts

This Dojo offers it all.... If you want to put yourself into something that takes time effort and discipline to jump head first into and need a safe place to do it; martial arts of austin can give you a sense of purpose and a sense of belonging to learning something greater than yourself that is healthy for your mind, body, and soul. All walks of life are welcome. Kids or adults of all ages are welcome. Men and women of all walks of life are greated with open arms here. If your just seeking for a place to get a good workout a couple nights a week; The Dojo will accommodate you. If your already experienced in martial arts as it is, I still stand by my claim that whatever you think you know or who you received your training from I challenge you to broaden your horizon and check out what the dojo has to offer. At the very least this place is worth a visit to watch what all that goes on here and what we're taught at classes from Monday to Saturday so please don't be shy and sit in on any class and observe what could change your whole perspective on things. So if your schedule allows it please come and see what the Sensei, the senpei's and the students here could show you in one class. I came here originally because I had been in a handful of fights where I was lucky and was victorious. And the most recent street fight (Lets just was not my finest hour.) Someone had threatened my brother and went after him before I stepped in and ended it. I had no self control. So For a long time I was determined to get proper martial arts training and I looked around many gyms and schools until i found this place. It intrigued me very much and I saw the schedule and what i could learn and I felt calm. I knew this is where I would learn more than just styles of fighting but moves like body throws and joint locks (important lessons I needed to begin learning). More than that I saw I would learn lessons for life that Ive always needed and still need badly. And so I'm doing everything i can to devote myself to spending all the extra time I have here where there's so much to learn What I found here is that the training and techniques give me a much greater chance at controlling the outcome of a physical altercation in the streets god forbid one ever presents Itself. I'm new here still but I'm learning so much about the importance of discipline, spiritual enlightenment, self discovery, and how to resolve a fight properly. And the philosophical lessons couldn't be argued as something that's simply a fallacy There's 10 philosophical ideas called the Dojo Kun. I suggest that you come and read what they say and see if it relates to you the way that it did to me. Sincerely Colton B. Shelton

I have learned a lot since I started tai chi in October. The school is a great community and a great environment to learn. Master Figg is great for folks like me who aren't graceful or coordinated. We have all ages and levels in our tai chi class. I love it and can't wait to see what happens down the road.

Great environment for anyone wanting to excel in Taekwondo and develop a strong character. Mr Perkins is a highly professional and very dedicated instructor. He is family-oriented and has been a Master Taekwondo instructor for many years. I truly can't speak highly enough of dojang

This place is very unique. A perfect balance between mind and body development. Principles of many different martial arts systems have been combined to produce maximum body and mind functions to help students deal with their daily lives. Thank you Master Blankenship for providing this nourishing environment for your students.

Obviously the classes and instruction at any Aces location is outstanding. This location is no different. Added bonus: the Downtown/East Side vibe of this place.

I've been training with Mr. Davis and Zen Hapkido for almost 4 years now. I'd been introduced to Hapkido as a kid, but Mr. Davis' no nonsense, traditional approach has taken my appreciation and understanding of the art to a new level. Studying under Mr. Davis has made me a more centered martial artist, and improved my overall health, focus, and personal development. The Hapkido practice has become a part of my daily life and thinking, and I can't imagine a path in my life without it. Try a class and see what happens!

Austin Jiu-Jitsu is the best! Coach Dave Thomas is welcoming to anyone interested in learning. He is very knowledgeable, and always open to suggestions or questions on techniques, even from someone who has just walked in the door for the first time. The school has a small group of dedicated training partners, much like a family. There is a wide range of experience and skill level within the group, which I think helps everyone improve while training together. Several within this group also help Coach Dave teach. Safety always comes first, but the group is still laid back and has fun while learning and training. I recommend Austin Jiu-Jitsu to anyone willing to step through the door to learn something difficult but extremely rewarding and fun.

Probably the best school for learning Kungfu and Tai chi in Austin.

We absolutely love Sifu! He is a great role model for children and such a great influence. I have not encountered many these days that have the kind heart, patience, care, and dedication that Sifu does. He is one of a kind and is amazing with the children and his instruction. Kenpo's goals and missions are wonderful and teach children life skills to use later on as well as character. I am not only amazed but extremely grateful and thankful, we have he opportunity to be a part of such a well designed, dedicated, family type environment Kenpo has offered. My son loves Sifu and is very happy to be in this program as he looks forward to it weekly!

Top tier school. 10PATX Will train you to be a killer! If you need work on your ground game or want some of the best self defense training around try out this no gi jiu jitsu school. This school is where you need to be if you compete in jiu jitsu or just want to possess the knowledge! Join the 10PATX team and family, what are you waiting for?!

Master Villarreal has more than 30 years experience and it shows. She knows how to get the best from her "Grasshoppers". She offers high energy, motivating workouts and teaches her students to respect themselves AND others. Her instructors are very dedicated to her teachings, and they want only the best for the UCMA students. This is a serious Dojang, teaching some serious TKD!

Master Richey took care of everything - the food (other than cake), invites, decorations, party favors, planning activities, cleaning up! The kids had fun, were entertained, and we had the chance to visit with our friends whose kids were attending my son's birthday party. It's a no brainer.

I never thought my son would be going to any martial classes. After one visit with one of his friends, he loved it and we came to love Sensei! We cannot say enough about how awesome Elite is!
