Austin Kickboxing Academy

I have been training at Austin Kickboxing Academy since may or June of 2025 and this gym has helped me in so many ways. I am in the best shape of my life from training hard and in a better place mentally. It’s a very friendly environment and the classes are very intense, everyone is very encouraging and they push you to become stronger and work hard. All of the coaches here are very skilled and nice people, they personally assist you throughout the class to help you understand the correct form and it’s really helpful. To anyone thinking about joining just come take the free trial class like I did and see if it’s for you!

We were in town for four-day corporate event earlier this year. During our Saturday afternoon off, a half dozen colleagues (all boxing enthusiasts) went to Austin Kickboxing Academy to get a private lesson in boxing with coaches/owners Randy and Tessa. They were fantastic coaching us to our various levels, very knowledgeable/helpful and super-friendly. Randy and Tessa were/are professional Muay Thai/BJJ/MMA fighters so we did twelve 3 minute rounds with 1 minute of rest in between rounds. Most of us have had some level of boxing private training and you can tell right away whether a coach is putting in the effort or just mailing it in. By the end of our session, it looked like Randy (and Tessa) had a mini-workout themselves just training us and also taking pictures/videos on our phones at our request. All-in-all, a fantastic way to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Austin for out-of-towners on business -- highly recommended!

I am humbled and honored to be back at AKA, training with Randy and his team, and spending time in the temple he and Tessa have built. They and their team of instructors exude and teach confidence, strength, commitment, and character. But there is also a level of compassion and philosophical might that radiates from the people who teach and train at AKA. It is infectious and awesome. Being back has warmed my soul, strengthened my mind and body, and given me another reason to remain healthy. I owe that all to Randy. FIVE STARS for Randy, Tessa, and AKA
