Austin Kickboxing Academy
- josh Justin
Austin Kickboxing Academy is an EXCELLENT place to train! The instructors are amazing tacticians that emphasize the importance of the fundamentals while also applying unique guidance to every student based on his/her skill level. I’ve been fighting my entire life, yet every training session I learn something new and relevant to my fighting style and experience level. I spent months looking for the right gym to train at and many gyms fell short of my expectations. However, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon AKA and the place has exceeding my expectations and then some! The instructors are welcoming, friendly, and highly proficient at their craft. I look forward to continuing my training with AKA for many years to come! I highly encourage my fellow military/law enforcement professionals to stop by AKA and get some fantastic training in! AKA is on another level - trust me! - Josh - 1/30/2022read moreread less - Danielle SotoI did Muay Thai for a few years and last year decided that I should start practicing again. I LOVED my past coaches so was super hesitant to try a new place. After reading tons and tons of reviews, I checked this gym out because it seemed the most similar to what I was looking for - a gritty gym, not boutiquey or fluffy, focused on the technique and practice rather than getting a good workout. All I can really say is that is exactly what you get, plus an insane workout every time. The coaches are awesome and super helpful. You're broken up into groups based on your experience with a dedicated coach who will tweak little things you're doing wrong so you learn proper technique. Everyone, even the most experienced students, is super nice and helpful, and will offer advice to help you improve. It's such an encouraging environment, so it never feels like they're speaking down to you. The coaches are super patient and easygoing, but will call you out if you are acting out of line or being disrespectful which I really appreciate. For reference: Currently taking 3-4 classes a week plus 1:1 training with Randy. I highly recommend personal training if you want to improve quickly or focus on certain elements of your training. I've taken a few people there for their first Muay Thai class ever and they loved it, but some things you should be aware of if you're new to this style of gym: - First class is free and includes equipment you will need. Get there early so you have time to get setup and don't feel rushed before class. - This isn't a boutique fitness gym. You can rent wraps and gloves, and they have some extra shin guards, but buy your own stuff - it's easier - When you're beginning and learning how to wrap your hands, watch videos at home and give your self extra time to get wrapped before the warmup - If you have a jump rope, bring it just in case Other than that, just show up. It's a great time! - 1/30/2020read moreread less
- Chris HaywoodI used to be a personal trainer so when deciding on a training place I take it serious. I didn’t want a fitness kickboxing type place. I wanted quality instruction from people who can actually fight. The coaches here are very friendly and know what they’re talking about. I’m very happy with how the classes are ran making everyone feel included and intensity. It’s a perfect mix of challenge and support. Definitely come try a class! - 1/30/2019read moreread less
- W WA truly incredible gym that focuses on training hard and growth within the discipline at all levels. The coaches love what they do and are very passionate about teaching/sharing their expertise. I joined this gym not knowing how much I would love training Muay Thai. Since I joined almost 2 years ago, I have learned so much physically and mentally. My technique continues to improve, and I strive for more with each class. The classes are broken out by experience level, which really allows you to work on yourself to advance. This gym has so much to offer, whether it's special training sessions or competitions, it is wonderful to have these options in case you want a little bit more. The gym is always clean, and the people are very welcoming. One of the best decisions I have ever made! - 1/30/2019read moreread less

- Victoria AngellThis place is top notch for Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and Boxing training. The coaches really work closely with you to make sure that you are developing your technique every step of the way. They stay late, come early, and are always there to help you if you ask for it. Each class has plenty of coaches there to help you, so you never feel like you are left to your own devices. There are students with all levels of experience to help you grow and encourage you along the way. Just come prepared to give it your all and you can take it as far as you want. - 1/30/2019read moreread less
- I FordI cannot say enough good things about this place. My kid has attended this academy since its inception and she has gained so many skills and so much confidence through training. The instructors are professional, patient, and very kind. All the children receive help for their specific skill levels. The academy welcomes families to stay and watch the classes and I am always amazed with what I see. The kids are consistently challenged to fine tune the skills they have learned and to continuously learn more. The atmosphere is fun, but my daughter knows she is expected to work hard and she is okay with that. She has been taught by her instructors to understand that hard work pays off. I am very proud that we are a part of the Austin Kickboxing Academy and I would recommend it for any child or adult. - 1/30/2016read moreread less
- Ceilidh SmithI love this gym! I've been training with the academy since the beginning of the summer and have felt my strength and cardio improve immensely in the few short months I have been attending classes. The coaches are great at focusing on technique and guiding you through pad work, drilling and sparring. Aside from the workout, the community at the gym is warm and welcoming; since joining I have been able to connect with other members and become friends with the people I train with. I would highly recommend this gym to beginners or advanced students! - 1/30/2019read moreread less
- Jessica YeI've trained at AKATX for over 2 years and I cannot say enough how much I love this gym. All the coaches are very experienced and highly trained. They put a lot of focus on proper technique; they explain techniques thoroughly and provide helpful constructive criticism to help you hone your skills. The conditioning here is also amazing; the coaches really know how to push you to do your very best in every class. The classes are physically challenging, but the results are clear; I've consistently seen that our fighters have better stamina compared to fighters from other gyms. AKATX offers a free trial class and doesn't pressure you to sign up or force you to sign long contracts. The classes are split by skill level so newcomers don't have to feel intimidated and advanced students never feel stunted. Whether you're training for a fight or just trying to get in shape, the coaches support your goals. I highly recommend this gym to anyone of any skill level--as long as you're willing to take the challenge and give it your all. - 1/30/2019read moreread less
