Our goal is to develop our students into responsible young adults with leadership and problem-solving skills. Our program, which includes Classes in Martial Arts training in the Art of Ba Ki Do an eclectic Martial Art Founded by Grand Master Michael J Bainton in 1992. Our Art Includes Hap Ki Do, Kung Joon Mu Sul, Tae Kwon Do, and  Judo. Martial Arts that Grand Master Bainton trained in from June of 1956 to 1992 when Ba Ki Do was brought into our studio with the emphasis on scholastic standing. Students must have parents, teachers, and instructors' signature attesting to behavior in school, at home, and in the Dojo. Students must attain an average scholastic standard on 90 percent before testing for their Brown belt and maintain this standard through Black Belt.  American Sign Language, Motor Skills classes are also part of our curriculum after the regularly scheduled class.    
We give our students time to complete their homework with the help of our instructors after class in our Award Winning After School program.

Our Martial Artist Creed
​

As a Martial Artist I will respect my family and my home.

I will endeavor to bring honor to my art.
I will pursue my education to the best of my ability with integrity and respect for my parents, teachers and fellow man.
I understand that violence is weakness and that compassion is strength.
Dr. Michael J. Bainton, PhD 1993 
​South Austin's unique programs combine academics, self-defense, and discipline through an art form called BA KI DO. Developed by Sensei Dr. Michael J. Bainton, BA KI DO builds balance, speed, eye-hand-coordination, and situational awareness through practice based on his over forty years of experience in law enforcement in the United States, Canada, and with​ the United Nations. Sensei Bainton opened the studio in 1992, and has continued to be active, including earning a world record in knife throwing. His multi-disciplinary approach drives excellence in our after-school program, summer camps, and all-ages evening classes.
Students learn to balance school and fun, too. Our kids maintain an average GPA of 94.4% while many participate in multiple after-school activities.
