Tukong Martial Arts - Tukong Austin 9421 Burnet Road, Austin, TX 78758

"I have been a student here since 2018. As a huge martial arts fan, I had always wanted formal training, but growing up I was a ballet dancer and that took up all of my time. I was in a kick boxing class at my gym in 2018 when I was approached by Master Janell (current owner of Tukong Austin) and asked if I had ever thought about martial arts training. She invited me to my first class and I was HOOKED. I learned valuable lessons in self defense on DAY ONE and I never looked back. Tukong Moosul is a well-rounded style that teaches an applicable skill-set, that as a woman, empowers me and gives me the confidence to be able to take care of myself in any unwelcomed and unsavory situation. All of the instructors and Masters are constantly coaching, cheering, and supporting you, no matter what belt level you are at. The range and depth of knowledge that the higher belts carry is consistently shared and taught within the classes and outside the classroom. We are a family beyond the Dojang's four walls and this is the best family you could ever ask for!"

"Tukong Moosul has helped me grow as an individual immensely. I am more connected to my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self. In all these way I have more control, and it has taught me much in the way of discipline and respect. I started Tukong at the verge of turning eighteen. It has been a key aspect in my journey into adulthood, and without all the vital skills and lessons it has taught me I do not think I would have been able to handle many of the hurdles I have faced so far. Master Ali is a great martial artist and a better person, and it takes only a seconds worth of observation of his skills to understand just how great he is. He is a patient and caring teacher, but also strict and serious when appropriate. This sort of "yin and yang" present in Master Ali's teaching is the perfect reflection of the internal and external aspect of our style. I could continue on singing Tukong Moosul's praises, instead I recommend you to come in and see why I love it so much!"

"I have been training consistently here13+ years now and it has been and continues to be what I expect and look for in a martial art, well rounded, non-competition based, traditional system and isn't a belt factory testing just to test. Weapons, forms, sparring and a mix of both soft and hard movement with focus on effective techniques that build organic movement are all there. The best part of the school is the mindset of "never give up "that is instilled in every student creating true martial artists. When a school still has black belts and masters that have been training in Tukong over 30 years, still come to train or share, you know it is a martial art system worthy of your investment of time, energy and sweat to learn."

"I've been training in Tukong with Master Ali for the last 18 years. I started when I was 4 years old. Put simply, aside from my parents, there has been no other greater positive influence in my life than Tukong Moosul. Teaching respect, discipline, honesty, integrity, humility, and patience, I attribute much of my success to the incredible foundation that was built through training in Tukong. This is the best martial arts school in Austin, no competition. I highly recommend you call Master Ali and you will quickly understand why."

"Tukong Austin provides everything one would expect of a mature martial art school and then some. The instructors know every detail, but also know when to give those details. Tukong Moosul is a style of balance and opposites. With it, we learn strength and power, grace and art, focus and meditation. There is a deep respect among the student and teachers. While the instructors certainly push the students to do their best, it is never at the risk of injury. Tukong Austin's children's classes take that to the next level. I have seen kids flourish from a spoiled attitude to respectful sons and daughters. The kids' classes are encouraging and challenging. They recognize each child's own potential and circumstance. There is no similar experience in Austin. Definitely worth a try!"
