MUSHIN DAO MARTIAL ARTS

Our Mushin Dao martial arts currriculum is both hard and soft, deriving its hardness in part from the Japanese and Korean martial arts and its soft flowing movements from the Chinese martial arts. This mixed style combines Karate, Kung Fu, Boxing and Jiu Jitsu. Training includes: Kicking, Punching, Close Quarters/Trapping, Grappling, Practical Self Defense, Forms, Martial Conditioning and Mushin Meditation.

• Training offers an incredible workout and is great for stretching and strengthening the body.
• Practical and effective self-defense skills (Tony Blauer's SPEAR System - PDR Training).
• Covers long range, close range, and ground fighting.
  
• Redirects energy, rather than stopping it, using the partner's energy against him.
• Internal practice includes the Qigong, T'ai Chi, Martial Yoga & Mushin Meditation skills.
• Lessons in Mindfulness (Resources to deepen one's understanding of martial arts philosophy).

Certification:

The Austin Martial Arts Academy offers adults Certification from Beginner Level to Black Belt Level in the system of Mushin Dao. Belt promotions are held every two to six months, depending upon the student's rank. Ultimately we are more concerned with our students reaping the 'life skill' benefits martial arts have to offer rather than focusing on only achieving higher ranks. Belt promotions are given however to assist our students with their physical progress and understanding of the Mushin Dao curriculum and principles.
