REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL WITH Austin Karate Academy

My son loves Austin Karate Academy. The option for online and outside classes during the pandemic has really helped my son keep up with his forms. Mr. Mukherjee has been an excellent instructor and does a wonderful job of being firm, yet playful during his interactions with the younger crowd. Thanks for being there, AKA!

Top notch leadership training that goes far beyond the martial art skills. David, the owner & leader, has a wonderful, family-centric club here. My son loves to go twice a week and learned how to push past some tough physical and mental challenges under Mr Mukherjee’s mentorship. He started as a Tiny Tiger and is now 2nd degree black belt and helps teach. Amazing experience for my son.

I believe my mom left a review 4 years ago but Austin Karate Academy has only grown since then! AKA does everything it says it will and more. Discipline, confidence, self-defense, you name it, they have it. It encourages students to practice a healthy and balanced lifestyle and also instills a sense of purpose in young kids. Karate isn’t only for the kiddos though, adults are welcome with open arms and there are so many exceptional parents as proof! AKA is beyond accommodating and prioritizes making everyone feel as comfortable as they can :)) Personally speaking, these past couple of years have been invaluable and I have made lifelong friends at AKA. Four years later, both my sister and I have earned our black belts while also having a tight-knight karate family within the studio that we know we can depend on! I love AKA and I’m sure you will too. Tang Soo!

“It is not about the belt but the person who is wearing the belt”. One will hear this time and again inside the dojo from Master Mukherjee. Austin Karate Academy (AKA) embodies that principle. There is an emphasis on character building, perfecting the techniques and creating a sense of confidence and comfort in the student. AKA prepares and provides opportunities to participate in local and regional tournaments throughout the year. Some students are with AKA for more than a decade, alumni who are active and excellent instructors, and current higher rank students have the opportunity to teach a class or a group of students. I have found that the Master and instructors can make a personal connection with the student, work 1:1 as needed and passionate about martial art and teaching it. In this unprecedented time of social distancing and self-quarantine, AKA is providing regular online instructor-led classes to ensure the continuity of the program. We have been part of AKA since the summer of 2015 and very satisfied with the overall experience.

My Son has been training @ AKA for the past 7+ years; the journey is hard but well deserved! Over the years, he’s grown to be a responsible and strong kid (mentally and physically) Master Mukherjee and his awesome Team passionately work towards helping the kids develop a deep sense of self respect and leadership skills. Every Kid is focused and trains hard to earn it @ AKA. We are now proud parents of the new Cho Dan in our Family 🙂 Tang Soo!!!

The AKA family has been great in transforming our son to a confident, respecting and responsible person. Master Mukherjee and the entire AKA staff make sure that COVID did not affect any students progress. All the instructors and classes are fun and learning. We look forward to making our son a Black Belt with AKA.

Martial arts, when trained under a dedicated master, teach self discipline and leadership skills. That’s exactly what has happened for Indi at AKA and Master Mukherjee. I never felt the need to push my kids into any leadership camps as they train at AKA where they are encouraged to lead, help, and support each other all the time. This whole journey of a white to black belt will mold your children into natural leaders clubbed with empathy and self-discipline. When you are part of WTSDA (World Tang Soo Do Association), no matter where you are, you are always accepted with the same fervour. As soon as shelter-in-place was announced, Austin Karate Academy moved virtual. AKA’s ability to operate in this new normal is evident from the fact that we actually accomplished testing for promotion to next level belts with the same vigour. I also would like to share this vital point I tell my kids often: Master Mukherjee along with his other teaching staff have full-time jobs. Yet, they never look or sound exhausted when they are at AKA training their students. That passion, dedication, and commitment is what our children need as a take-home lesson.

I had the opportunity to guest train here over the summer and it was great! The whole studio was extremely friendly and energetic they made me feel like I fit right in. Master Mukherjee is very knowledgable and encouraging and the assistant instructors are great examples of dedication and compassion. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would recommend!

Excellent school, instructors are awesome and engage students across all age ranges.

My family loves AKA! The classes are great for kids’ confidence, self-esteem, and obedience as well as for physical fitness for both kids and adults alike. The instructors are patient and compassionate and genuinely want their students to become better, not just at karate, but at being better people outside of the studio as well.

Austin karate academy has been family for us for the past 7 years. Master Mukherjee is a great instructor who not only has the expertise and experience but also is very encouraging and genuinely cares for each and every student. During this difficult time when we are dealing with this global pandemic and the center is closed, my kids and all the students of Austin Karate academy are constantly being challenged and trained under Master Mukherjee’s leadership. I am honored to be a part of this incredible family and am glad I took the decision of putting both my kiddos under Master’s leadership! Thank you!

I just wanted to say… AKA goes above and beyond for the students and the families. They have invested hard work, persistence, consistency and time into the students during the unpredictable time. My girls have enjoyed every bit of the class specifically the virtual class. Their focus and discipline has improved over the past month. I am grateful for the team enforcing confidence, self-respect, and obedience in my children. It means a lot to me and my family. Keep up the great work!

My son started as a tiny tiger and moved on to advanced belt with the help of very dedicated trainers who continuously provide quality instruction, high standards, hard work, consistency, persistence and importantly personalized attention to a child’s development. Highly recommend the academy.

AKA leadership and instruction is top notch. Unbelievable how Master Mukherjee navigated through the pandemic – switching to virtual (live) instruction – and when permitted slowly integrating studio attending classes with all precautions. A great place to learn a martial art.

AKA feels like a family. They care about their students both young and old, both with their karate adventures and instruction and their family life. We are so proud and honored to be apart of this family. AKA all the way!!!

Can’t thank enough to Mr Mukherjee and the teachers who have a played a wonderful role in my son’s life. My son joined 9 years ago and is still learning and enjoying Karate in the studio. What I like the most is Mr Mukherjee is like a father to his students. very honest and loving, he will never shy away from doing the right thing to his students, so that they improve in their overall character not just Karate. Thank you Mr Mukherjee for all that you have done and are doing for your students. Thanks Amarendar

AKA is a wonderful school. My son started couple years ago and we have been with this school ever since. The stuff is beyond professional and knowledgeable, all instructors are taking great pride in teaching the kids and practicing this amazing art. The school owner Dave and his family has been is an example of professionalism and dedication especially during this difficult year. The school has implemented many adjustments to keep everyone safe and still practicing regularly during pandemic and managed remain opened and fully functioning. We can not be happier with our 10 year old’s progress, both physically and mentality! I highly recommend this school and community!
