Austin Kung-Fu Academy

The Austin Kung-Fu Academy is a place where kids and adults can learn traditional Chinese martial arts, also known as Kung-Fu. The academy offers age-specific classes for kids, ranging from 5-6 year olds to teens, and mixed-level classes for adults. The academy's instructor, Santanu Rahman, has a vision to create a safe space for people to learn Kung-Fu as a means for health, safety, self-defense, and a way of life. He has a strong background in Kung-Fu and other martial arts and is able to break down complex ideas into smaller, easy-to-digest bits. The academy's process is straightforward, with three steps: trying a class for free, trying a second class for a small fee, and enrolling in the program to earn rank/colored belts. Classes are held in two locations: Diva Dance HQ Studio and Inishfree Irish Dance Studio.
