Tactical Arts Academy - Rowing to warmup for a CrossFit class.

Tactical Arts Academy

5.0(12 reviews)

I fully admit this review is being written in my honeymoon period of getting into the gym. But…read morehere goes anyway. Two weeks ago, I was out running errands and saw the sign for Tactical Arts Academy. I also saw that it was almost exactly halfway between my office and home. So, I went to their website to see what they could do for me -- someone who's never been able to commit to exercise and who hasn't ever been able to find a fitness program they could tolerate enough. Leslie replied to my web inquiry quickly and we met the next day to discuss my situation. I told him my big fear was that I am massively out of shape. He explained that's why I was there. We discussed CrossFit and how the workouts can be scaled to meet someone's level. I decided to give it a try. My first three sessions have been one-on-one to learn how to do CrossFit safely. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sore. Ibuprofen can fix that. But after each session, I come away feeling that I've accomplished something. Here's what I can tell you though. Leslie and Sergio, the two instructors, are beyond supportive. I feel encouraged and like I'm making headway. They're patient with newbies like me. And there's virtually no pressure. You're encouraged and pushed, but it's not boot camp. There's no drill instructor yelling at you. It's more like being mentored. And it's pushing me into fitness. There's no pressure to buy stuff. There's no long term contracts either. And heck, the gym is climate controlled and out of the elements so weather isn't an excuse. They offer CrossFit classes both at lunch and after work. Martial arts and self defense are in the evening if that's something you want to pursue as well. For once, I honestly feel I can keep up a commitment to being fit. If that keeps up, I'm going to have to ask Yelp for a one time exception to allow for a six star review.

I made sure to wait before writing a review to make sure it wasn't just the "i'm getting back in…read moreshape" craze of starting at a new gym. I've been working out here for the strength training classes since March, and it's been simply amazing. Bottom line up front: I've made amazing improvements in skill and strength and have lost around 18 lbs so far. TAA didn't do all of that, but Leslie and Sergio make this place a fun and engaging environment where you can achieve realistic goals. It's a great space with an open floor plan. The format of the work outs take off a lot of the pressure of trying to squeeze a bunch of work into an hour. Everyone who works out there is just like you: just trying to get back in shape - not some yelling raging meat head. I highly recommend Tactical Arts Academy for anyone who is looking for a low stress workout to get into their weekly routine.

Black Widow MMA - Berrjiutsu Event at Oskar Blues

I stumbled upon Black Widow MMA gym by way of meeting the boxing instructor in early 2021. I'm a…read morebig regular gym goer, but had never dabbled in any form of MMA before, so initially I was a bit shy to jump into the classes and fully immerse myself into their suite of offerings across boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and more. But I am so glad that I got over myself and dipped my toes in last year! This is more than a gym; it's a community, and a space for people to grow, thrive, and build some beautiful friendships. Every instructor I've had the pleasure to learn from has been nothing short of amazing in terms of skill level and the ability and willingness to make the training and concepts accessible to beginners. I've been a bit of a casual goer in that I can't make it to as many classes as I'd like, but even so, I feel that I've learned some really valuable ways to move my body that I really look forward to developing further with time. This gym is friendly to the highest level martial artists and the beginners. They have classes every day in mornings, around lunch time, and evenings, as well as a few on the weekends. There's really something for everyone. Take a look at their schedule on their website -- you'll definitely find something suitable. If you are brand new to martial arts, your best bet will either be one of the "Basic Monday" classes or (if you're a woman) one of the women's classes on the weekend (PSA: the women's Muay Thai class on Saturdays is free)! Most adults really need a way to make friends, and this is one way to both make friends, gain some really cool skills and challenge yourself mentally and physically. I cannot recommend this place enough. Black Widow MMA is a real Austin treasure. I also know they have kids classes, but as I am neither a kid or a parent with kids at Black Widow, I can't speak to them. But I do know the instructors there, and I am sure they are nothing short of amazing when it comes to teaching kids martial arts. If I had kids to deal with, I'd definitely put my trust in their instructors. Shoutout to the amazing coaches and teammates who make this place what it is--an incredibly supportive and safe environment in which to develop yourself and find a community.

Great gym and coaches. Been going off and on for a few months now and there's a great sense of…read morecommunity and clear instruction. Would recommend to anyone looking for a solid MMA gym in Austin.

I have experiences with other gyms, both as 'home' gyms and as a visitor. My focus is on Gi…read morejiu-jitsu and while the schedule here is geared more towards the No-gi side, the quality of instruction is very high. The classes I've attended the most are the morning classes Professor Davis definitely has a lot of high level moves and concepts but breaks it down so that it's scaffolded to all levels. He's literally said 'you can stop here if you're comfortable.' He's also very accessible, both as an instructor and just as a human being. There isn't a rigid formality here so if you have a question or are frankly, lost like I frequently am you can just stop and ask for help without being afraid of being 'that guy.' I had to pause due to surgery/recuperating and it was as easy pausing my billing and being told if I needed more time to just let them know. I'm looking forward to get back on the mats and start training again-where I'm definitely going to have to ask a lot of questions.

Hand down one of the best BJJ gyms I've been a part of. Very friendly environment and encouraging…read more Plus Professor Davis is a legend. He's excellent at breaking down moves and explaining how everything fits together. The facility is very nice as well. There's a shower and the mats are very clean too! Pro Tip: Come to the 7 am class. It's less crowded and the training partners are great. See you in the mat! 10/10 Gis

I started attending Tukong Martial Arts this past summer and have been training for about four…read moremonths now. I wasn't sure what to expect coming in, but since the very first day, all the instructors, as well as my fellow student peers have been incredibly welcoming and encouraging. The school holds itself and its instruction to a high standard. It is evident that all the instructors at the school have a true passion for martial arts, and I thoroughly enjoy Master Ali's style of teaching. As an avid learner, the instructors' enthusiasm and expertise make it easy to not only learn something new every class, but also enjoy the training as well! There is so much knowledge and room for growth in Tukong - whether you're looking for self-defense techniques, weapons work, or philosophical teachings you can find it all here at the dojang. If you're looking to not only grow as a martial artist, but also join a family of warriors, I highly recommend trying out Tukong Martial Arts!

Grandmaster has a very traditional style of teaching but you will notice a very family-oriented environment for learning. Grandmaster Yi teaches compassion and philosophy along with the martial arts techniques. Without the philosophy, one can be a good fighter but not a warrior.
