Who We Are

Austin Kula Karate

Austin Kula Karate (http://austinkulakarate.com) is a Martial Arts school focusing on kids’ martial arts and fitness. Using the traditional Martial Arts’ school model we work to develop leadership, follower-ship and general character as adapted to our modern world.

Strong bodies AND strong minds. At Kula we practice meditation in every class!

Breakthrough Events

The root idea for the Breakthrough events was my partner’s Miss Nancy. She wanted to do something to mark or commemorate my 29th anniversary in the Arts. After mulling it over for a while I came up with the name Breakthrough.

As we brainstormed the idea grew and eventually became our spring Breakthrough event. In Breakthrough we use the Art of breaking to demonstrate very graphically just how far you can go, just how much you can achieve, when you put in the effort over time. A lesson for kids and a reminder for adults, myself included.
