The farthest you will get fencing at AFC is the recreational level…read more Austin Fencers Club claims to be a nationally competitive club, but they are not. The coach pushes fencers to compete nationally but only trains them for the recreational level. Attendance at competitive practices is sparse. Additionally, he is known to use profanity in private lessons, even with children as young as 10 years old. If you are an adult looking for some light exercise, this may be a viable option. Otherwise, do not fence at AFC.

Austin Fencers Club reshaped him into a competitive fencer and march 2014 was the first competitive competition we went in Dallas. After rigorous summer camp and training, he was qualified to go to National Championship in July 2015 and placed within TOP 50s in the nation for DIV III. He recently placed on top 10 for North Texas Open - first competition in the season which scored spot for National Championship in July 2016! This is great place to learn Olympic level sport with highly qualified coaches. If you are looking into effective workout that can help you for long run, this is also great place as well. Kids loves fencing classes and it also helps tremendously to go to college or to be healthy! I highly recommend it!!!!!!

I teach JKD here in Austin and we invited Jett Garner to come share his Krav Maga with us at an…read moreevent we were holding. Jett was very friendly and open and he showed our guys a lot of great things that they could use, especially in regards to weapons defense--an area where I think a lot of martial arts aren't as specialized in, yet is perhaps most important to know from a self-defense perspective. I have a lot of respect for Krav Maga, and Jett Garner's school in Westlake, Texas is considered one of the best around (hence why we invited him out).

I've had the distinct pleasure of training with Gene Smithson of Austin Systema and Tai Chi Chuan…read morefor over 5 years now. There are a lot of martial artists and a lot of martial arts schools in Austin and specifically in Northwest Austin. But among all that I have ever encountered, Gene is unique. He's a straight shooter, telling you exactly what he thinks. He's kind, patient and amazingly perceptive, but he's also not afraid to push you (and himself) to reach our full potential. He holds several black belts in different styles of karate but also has extensive experience in Jujitsu, aikido, Tai Chi and Qigong, just to name a few. But where the magic really happens is with the Systema component of his martial arts school. Systema is a Russian Martial Art and compared to most is very free-form, very free and incorporates very healthy movement and breath work while focusing on maximum efficiency while using the least amount of tension possible. Many martial arts are destructive to the body over time whereas I'm convinced Systema is improving my body as I age (I'm 53). I've worked with a number of martial arts teachers over the years and I've never encountered anyone quite like Gene; he's truly one of a kind. If you are looking for classes for yourself of your child (he takes kids as young as 8) and you are looking for martial arts classes in Northwest Austin, I would look no further than Austin Systema.

Austin Systema & Taiji is a rare find. I've been involved in martial arts all of my life. I've…read moretrained in about 5 different styles. This school is the perfect combination of incredible martial arts and a wise and talented teacher. Systema is unlike any art I've studied. There are basically almost no actual techniques. Instead, we focus on breath, relaxation, posture and spontaneous movement. We learn to respond naturally to whatever threat is present but, more importantly, how to respond naturally in our lives. Systema is more than a martial art, it's a way of of life. Taiji (or "tai chi") is a beautiful and graceful art that creates incredible peace in the body and mind. It's a perfect compliment to systema. Also available is Brazilian jiu-jitsu for those interested in the grappling arts. Again, a great compliment to systema training. Oh... And on Wednesday evenings there's even a breathing, stretching and massage class! All classes are included for everyone. Come to as many or as few as you like. Lastly, Gene Smithson, the instructor for all classes, is the reason that all of this works so well. He is a deeply dedicated teacher for both adults and children. His patience with each student at whatever level they're at allows us to advance quickly as a group. Everyone that comes consistently has improved greatly in the time I've been training. I've been to a lot of martial arts schools over the past 40 years and this school has my highest recommendation.
