Okay, for reals, I can't say enough good things about this place. The hospitality was unbelievable,…read morethe training intense, and the vibes seriously good. I travel and train a ton, and this is a gym I can't wait to get back to. Todd and Marcus's instruction was methodical and detailed, and really built upon itself. The students were friendly, trained hard, and made me feel right at home. The mats were clean and the facilities TOP NOTCH. They have showers, water, and a nice coffee maker. There's great art and great music. This gym is really exceptional and an awesome place to get your roll on. There were all ranks and everyone seemed really engaged. If you live in Austin, or are close, make the drive, and get some training in here. It's well well well worth it. Plus, you never know who you'll run into in class.

The staff, the students, everything about this place was great. Todd taught an hr class with exceptional detail. I rolled with a white belt, a blue belt, and a black belt, Marcus I believe. They were all very good in their respective ranks, which is a testament to the instruction. The black belt, Marcus, was outstanding. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you to Todd and the JJMachado Austin school. See you soon.

I've been to some Jiu Jitsu gyms where everyone walks around puffed up and ready to dominate like they're training for the octagon next week. (At one of those gyms I actually left with a black eye and bruised rib during my trial week!) At Meta Martial Arts, Coach Joe was very patient with my inexperience. Even the other students had a great vibe to them, immediately making me feel welcomed. I have to say, Jiu Jitsu is definitely the best work out of my life. You leave somehow feeling completely drained of energy, but totally energized. I highly recommend giving Meta Martial Arts a try. If you've ever wanted to try the sport, this is the best place to get started and a great way to join a community of great people that are passionate and welcoming.

I was a first time martial arts student last month and he led me at my level while sharing his passion of Shaolin-do through basic techniques (my level) while giving me a glimpse of potential through postings in his studio as well as showing a few himself that he continues to master. He also shared tidbits of Shaolin-do and Chinese history which was completely fascinating! He is the most passionate professional I have ever worked with in any field. If you are looking for a teacher, mentor, workout, friend, life balance, then I would put my trust and energy into Michael and Shaolin Martial Arts. He will take a personal interest in guiding you to what you want to accomplish and where you want to be. I could not recommend him more.

I had the honor of meeting Sifu Thomas and Claudia at a birthday party and was coincidentally…read morelooking for a place that taught Kung Fu for my son. I was instantly drawn to their energy and insight of health and well being, but still did my homework and checked out a couple other places in my area that also taught Kung Fu. My son tried out a class elsewhere, but there was no competition after meeting Thomas. This was the place for us, we both agreed wholeheartedly. I think it is worth pointing out that Sifu Thomas used to be a middle school teacher. It shows immensely in his ability to reach kids and his patience. Mr Clark, another teacher of Kung Fu, is also exceptional. They both have an excellent balance of seriousness and fun, always understanding and kind. My son has now been taking Kung Fu for over a year and it has changed him in so many positive ways. He's more patient with his little sister, more respectful to everyone, and willing to help when asked, or sees the need himself. These are principles taught within the art of Kung Fu at Del Sol, not just a fighting style to take someone out. If money and time weren't an issue, I think our whole family would be taking it. ;) Del Sol has so many other things to offer as well. I observe the Crossfit classes, sometimes watching what they are doing, other times just over hearing the laughter. They make working out and working hard look fun. :) They also offer cooking classes and have immense knowledge in health and nutrition. I have yet to take a yoga class, but don't doubt it is awesome. They have created a perfect serene atmosphere in the back room for a meditative, sweaty, beautiful yoga practice. For someone wanting to be healthier in body, mind, and spirit, you really can't go wrong with Del Sol. We are proud to be a part of the blossoming Del Sol family.

We chose them because in addition to learning martial arts they teach discipline in a different way. They teach it through building confidence, mental strength and emotional awareness.

We also have been to both locations and they are equally amazing. My son has been attending since he was 6 and I plan to sign up my daughter when sheii turns 3 years old. Additionally it's a place where you will find support as a parent, I cannot begin to thank them enough for helping me shape the personality of my kids.

I (age 50) do both. We recommend the school for those in the Lake Travis area and beyond. We used to travel nearly an hour each way to get here, four days a week. Totally worth it. Highly skilled (and ranked) instructors here are also compassionate and tuned to every student's individual abilities. They know and greet students (and parents!) by name. They don't ask for more than they know you can do--and they turn out to be right in knowing you can do a lot. You work and sweat for the progress you make, which gives you honest pride in each belt you earn. The atmosphere is totally supportive and respectful, from instructors and other students alike. I especially admire how comfortable the older teen students are with each other, male and female. Both my 10-year-old son and I are amazed at what we have learned out on the mat. Beyond new physical abilities and conditioning, I benefit all day, every day from the mentality and strategy we learn. Impossible to imagine a better place to study martial arts. It is a very demanding but super fun and rewarding part of our lives.
