With you in mind...

At Austin Fitness Martial Arts we are not only interested in fighting skills but in the development of each person as a whole. As a famous teacher once said "these are the tools of everyday life, what you learn in here, you can apply elsewhere." Nowhere is this more important than in our children's classes where we realize that we must embody the very same principles that you as a parent are trying to instill in your children.

A modern approach to self-defense...

Although our techniques are based on century old knowledge, it is our application of that knowledge that sets the Austin Fitness Martial Arts apart. We realize that each of you possess different natural abilities; size and strength will vary from person to person, etc. That is why once you have acquired a strong foundation and ability in the basics, our program is individualized to match your physical capabilities in order to maximize your self-defense skills. Should the need ever arise you will possess a firm understanding of exactly what it takes to both mentally and physically defend yourself or your loved ones.

Our system of martial arts...

Austin Fitness Martial Arts places focus on two martial art programs. For adults we offer Kickboxing. This program is known for its emphasis on weight loss, toning muscles and overall physical transformations. It is the best approach for total body fitness. Plus, Kickboxing is known as the most effective stand-up fighting system. For children we have Kung-Fu Karate. This program is known all over Central Texas for its success in instilling confidence, discipline and respect in children. Our kids are known as the "Kung-Fu Kids."

Also included in the training is the self-defense against empty hand, gun, knife and club armed attackers. This training is from Puyot's Fighting Systems. We don't stop there we also offer life skills, goal setting tumbling, and weapons training.

As times change, so do the requirements of a martial art in contributing to the community. Under the capable leadership of Master Hughes, Austin Fitness Martial Arts is a martial art that continues to keep pace with the times and benefit all who come to study. "I believe the ability to defend oneself is a personal right and the martial arts to be a priceless treasure."

“Have you ever felt that there was no place that can satisfy a need for self-discipline? I know I have. I’ve been in an JROTC program only to find myself getting more frustrated and creating stress, so from that point, I’ve been on the boiling side until I discovered a new way to maintain stress, anger and get that self discipline I’ve been looking for called Tai Chi, at the Austin Fitness Martial Arts. Walking in, I was welcomed as if I was a student for a long time. But doing my first class, I was rather shy and nervous because I don’t like feeling like the one slowing everyone else down. But everyone here is very respectful and helped me catch with the pace. Well all in all, there have been many places that I’ve joined and said “what the heck am I doing here?” but this is definitely a school that I have no regrets in joining.” - Antonio Parra

“No matter how lame my day is I always feel great after class. The work out challenges me more than physically, it challenges me to let go of the day and focus on the moment. It’s sweaty, healthy therapy!” - Claudia Trevino
