Tristan Truscott, founder of the Austin Martial Arts Academy, has spent over 30 years practicing and teaching martial arts, self defense, fitness, healing and meditation. Along with his wife Sabrina Truscott he created Satori Method™ by combining all of the styles of martial arts, fitness training, healthy eating plans, meditation techniques, and the healing flow movements from t’ai chi, qigong and yoga that he has studied.

Satori Method was initially inspired by Tristan’s five year-long search to heal a painful back inury. After those five very challenging years and undergoing an unsuccessful surgery, Tristan realized that he needed to find a way to heal himself.

He expanded his study of mind-body methods looking for ways to unravel the mystery behind his pain. After much research, trial and error and wonderful breakthroughs, Tristan finally discovered how to heal his back pain using the power of his mind.

After his insight (a.k.a. Satori) he began to develop a program that would get his body back into shape. (Since Tristan had not been able to exercise for many, many years, his body had weakened and he had gained a lot of extra weight).

Determined to regain his previous healthy lifestyle Tristan pressed onward by refining his new daily program to lose the extra weight, regain his flexibility, rebuild his muscle and begin martial arts training again. The end result was a complete rehabilitation and the creation of Satori Method!

Today Tristan is training full-out again and loving life. He is overjoyed to be sharing Satori Method with his students and helping them evolve physically, mentally and spiritually; it is the ONLY reason he teaches (apart from enjoying the training himself).
