South Austin Karate, founded and operated by Dr. Michael J. Bainton, Ph.D. in 1992, offers Evening classes for all ages of children as well as adults, Summer Camp during the summer, and an Award Winning After School Program. Classes for Adults as well as Children are conducted in our 15,000 square foot air conditioned facility by 6 trained, qualified Martial Arts Instructors, who are also trained to teach Safety, First Aid, CPR courses, and in addition are well-trained in Child Care Development.
In 1995, Sensei was inducted into the Martial Arts Gallery of Fame and was encouraged by Martial Arts Experts to form his own art, which he calls Ba Ki Do. Dr. Bainton is educated in the field of Child Psychology, and is currently attending classes to be certified in Child Psychology. During his 54 years in martial arts, Sensei has obtained black belts in Kung Jung Mul Sul and Hap Ki Do, and has trained in such arts as Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Aikido. He is a certified Archery Instructor and also the author of "Together We Stand Alone," an adventure novel and dog training guide, which is now under contract for a feature length movie. Books can be obtained for $4.95, plus shipping and handling, by contacting us by email.
In 2005, construction was completed on the South Austin Karate Archery Range. The Range has proved to be an invaluable addition to the Ba Ki Do curriculum. The range is 60 feet long and is fully air conditioned and heated and is certified by the Junior Olympic Archery Committee. All of our archery instructors are trained and certified.
