Austin Kung Fu & Tai Chi 少林 Martial Arts

I have been taking my two sons to this Shaolin Kung Fu school for seven years now, and they recently tested for their black belts! This is a **very legitimate place** with an incredible legacy. Grandmaster Shin is a true pioneer—he is the first to have been recognized in both North Shaolin and South Shaolin styles simultaneously, which speaks volumes about his expertise and dedication. The instructors here are amazing—patient, kind, and deeply passionate about preserving this special art. They genuinely care about their students and create a welcoming environment for everyone. I’ve referred many of my friends’ kids to this school, and they’ve all had great experiences too. My kids love it here, and they plan to continue learning until they’re adults. If you’re looking for an authentic Shaolin Kung Fu school with skilled instructors and a supportive community, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Austin Kung Fu & Tai Chi is an excellent school founded on respect, great attitudes, and dedication. I've been attending for about two years and all of the instructors are enthusiastic, kind, and knowledgeable. You will learn martial arts, and you will also learn to strengthen your own self-respect and willpower, with an encouraging family of students all on the same journey! They offer a free class to those who want to try it out, so there's nothing to lose if you stop by. :)

My family and I started Austin Kung Fu and Tai Chi last year. We love it for so many reasons, including the community and personal growth. I previously struggled with high blood pressure, and after practicing Tai Chi before my annual doctor’s visit, my blood pressure was as low as it was 30 years ago—108/68. Thank you, Austin Kung Fu and Tai Chi, for helping me obtain my personal goals.

I am so proud to be a part of the Austin Tai Chi community. From the start, it was clear that I'd come to the right place to feel valued and to be met with patience and kindness in the teaching of martial arts. Masters Joe and Cheryl are not only masters of their art, but they also provide the best training both physically and mentally. I love how every breath and every move is explained in depth. As a senior among seniors, Austin Tai Chi is the place to be for community and intellectual growth.

We love this community —our whole family joined, even our youngest. During her belt test, she faced a moment that could have shaped what she believed about herself. Master Joe was tuned in and he gave her the extra time and care she needed. The very next day, she was trying new things with confidence—eating broccoli and swimming underwater. That’s the kind of growth this community inspires.
