Austin Impact Jeet Kune Do 1779 Wells Branch Parkway, Austin, TX 78728

"Austin Impact seems to be one of the more comprehensive gyms out there. Fitness classes, Yoga and Martial Arts Technique rolled up into a neat schedule that runs the whole week. Professional coaches who are passionate about athletics and combat sports conduct lesson plans that fit beginners to advanced students. A multitude of goal oriented plans such as the "1 and done" dietary coaching that helps people maintain good diets, or the Jeet Kune Do class that enables students to go from beginner Martial Artists to experienced Kickboxers. Austin Impact/Fighting Fit seemss to have it all. Forrest Claudill seems to have a clear goal in mind, to create a healthy, friendly and fun fitness community; to that purpose he creates member events, challenges with prices, and even runs a facebook community were members can chat, share experiences and achievements. A gym like this is difficult to find, a frienddly enviornment that encourages people from all walks of life to reach their goals, whether its weight loss or to be a strong martial artist. I truly cannot recommend this gym enough."

"This is a great place to study Jeet Kune Do, with a community of dedicated and enthusiastic coaches and students. Coaches Forrest and Corey are very experienced and knowledgeable, and are fantastic instructors. The school is very accommodating, with JKD offered every weekday, and also various other fitness and kickboxing classes offered throughout the day, so you can work to develop the level of fitness or martial arts skill you desire. All-in-all, a great place to train. Highly recommended!"

"One of the greatest martial arts gyms I have ever attended. Sifu Forrest takes time to get to know his students and wants to help you meet your goals, whether it’s fitness or martial arts. Coach Corey is a great instructor as well, he has studied MMA for 15 years and is willing to take time out of his schedule to teach you more than JKD and kickboxing."

"Try this place! Whether you want to focus on fitness or martial arts, you’ll find some great people and awesome classes at this gym. The students and trainers are super welcoming and the classes are a ton of fun. You get a good workout and well-rounded training in correct form, footwork, self defense, and fighting technique. While JKD with Sifu Forrest is my home base, there are a lot of options, and members can attend whichever classes work best for them. We are lucky to have a guest instructor from Doce Pares Texas teach Filipino Martial Arts on Sundays, and it’s a can’t-miss class in my opinion. I also love Bharath and Ivan’s fitness kickboxing classes, and you’ll definitely want to take advantage of the yoga classes. You won’t get bored at this gym!"

"This is hands down one of the best places to train!! Very clean gym, super friendly members, and Coach Forrest is one of the most humble and kindest souls in the martial arts community. He not only teaches the fighting style but the art and philosophy behind it. If you want to master focus, patience, and virtue then come here it's a no brainer. I spent time checking out so many gyms when I moved to Austin, after my first class i fell in love with the art "
