Come on by to tour of our facility!

While you're here you can take a Free Trial Class during our evening program, any night of the week! 
​*Excluding Testing Nights

Please note that our studio has an emphasis on Martial Arts training and should not be construed in any way as a day care program.  The student must be willing to participate in all SAK activities.

Our goal is to develop/mold our students into responsible young adults with great leadership and problem solving skills. The way we go about this is through our program which includes a high regiment of Martial Arts through out the week with various days of Motor Skills* classes and Knife Throwing* lessons. But it doesn't stop there, after the regular scheduled class, we give our students time to complete their homework with the help of our Instructors. 

Our motto is Family First, Education Second and Martial Arts Third. Family will always be at the top of our list! And Education is whats going to help our young students thrive in our society today. That being said, we are proud to annouce that our After School and Evening Program has now maintained a 95% Scholastic School Average for the past 2 years!! Up from 94% the previous years. We are proud of our students and their accomplishments! We hope to see more eager minds walk through our doors! 

Martial Arts

What style of Martial Arts do we teach? Ba Ki Do! This style of Martial Arts was developed by Grand Master Dr. Michael J. Bainton, Ph. D, South Austin Karate's owner and Founder. Ba Ki Do is closely related to Kung Jung Mu Sool, Juijitsu, and Hapkido. Ba Ki Do not only has empty hand and weapon forms but also includes a huge emphasis on Self Defense techniques and tactics. 

Motor Skills

What is Motor Skills? Motor Skills is defined as a highly refined pattern of movement based on continuous incoming information, adjustments and experience. Also in Motor Skills there is time spent on refining the foundational kicks and forms taught in white through yellow belt training. What we do here at South Austin Karate is help develop these motor skills with various exercises and games to improve the students all around body and mind which goes hand in hand with their Martial Arts training .

​Knife Throwing

Our Knife Throwing class is based on conventional knife throwing competition.  The students are taught by a Master Thrown Weapons Instructor with over ten years experience and are taught safety precautions and technique before being allowed to pick up a knife. Once the instructor is comfortable with the students knowledge of technique and their willingness to follow the rules of the range, they are shown how to find their distance in order to stick the knife consistently into the target.
