Kids karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai in East Austin
Evening Brazilian jiu-jitsu class on the East 6th Street mats
Black belts teaching every student their next step
Kaizen Martial Arts Academy teaches kids karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai on East 6th Street, built around a belt curriculum with written grading criteria for every rank.
Why we started
A curriculum, not a guessing game
Kaizen opened in East Austin so students could see exactly what the next belt requires instead of hoping for it. Every grading is written down, so kids and adults can track their own progress class by class.
What to expect
What training here actually feels like
Three things every new student notices in the first week.
Written grading criteria
Every belt comes with a written list of what you need to know, so progress is never a guess.
Beginners welcome every class
Kids karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai all cover fundamentals in every session.
Taught by black belts
Every class on our timetable is led by a black belt instructor, not an assistant.
Right on East 6th Street
Walk in from East Austin homes and offices for an evening class or a Saturday morning session.
