I love and miss Journey so much!! I joined with my son for bonding time and I ended up with my own confidence and support being built up!
My son loved his time there and I feel it gave him a sense of belonging in a time when he felt the least secure. Mr. K would check in on him, which helped a single mom at her wits end. I couldn’t be more thankful for his attention to his students!
Mr. K was such an amazing inspiration and I see all his teachings and kindness in Ms. McDonald. She’s also so much fun to spar with! Ms.Zinni was always an amazing presence to watch and a wonderful teacher. The patience they have for all levels of ages, athleticism and learning styles was always impressive.
Summer camps, parent night out, weapons class… the intense Saturday health class!! Not sure if they’re still doing that class, but it was amazing. Even if I did whine a lot! haha!!

While we had to move away - we will always cherish all the time we had there. If I ever move back to Austin - you know I’ll be back!!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Journey, particularly with the lead instructor Ms. McDonald. She’s phenomenal with the kids and great at instilling life skills in addition to the physical skills. It’s well organized and the flexibility of drop-in classes is most appreciated - qualities that are sometimes hard to come by in kids’ sports. Highly recommend!

Journey Martial Arts is the best!

Mr. K and the entire team at Journey have gone above and beyond throughout the pandemic to help students meet their goals.

My son has attended classes at Journey for the past 2+ years and the change we have seen in him has been amazing.

He has gained body control. He used to get injured playing just because he's a big dude and he couldn't control his body. Now I watch him climbing trees and balancing on branches without concern.

He has gained self-confidence. One of the most important lessons Journey teaches is failure. You don't move up the ranks just by attending classes. You have to pass rank tests.

As a parent, it's hard to see our kids disappointed... but it is exactly the lesson they need. They learn that perseverance and hard work can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Our son has learned that if he puts his mind to something, he can achieve it.

This is an excellent place for kids and adults. The studio is very high-quality and kept in great condition, and the instructors (namely Mr. K) are fantastic. Very personable, funny, inclusive, and give great instruction.

Mr. K and the staff at Journey are all amazing! Their program has given my daughter strength confidence and maturity. She always seems to leave class with a smile on her face.

My son visits my sister every summer for several weeks. She enrolled him in one of their summer camp sessions. He looks forward to that every summer with her!! It is all he talks about!

Mr K. and the whole Journey team have been a key part of our son's life for three + years. In addition to the martial arts skills he's now mastered, they have helped teach our child about self-sufficiency, respect, integrity, hard work, failure, grit, and other key life lessons, They adapted to the challenges of Covid with creativity and flexibility and offered families like us a welcome bit of continuity in otherwise chaotic times. Their dedication to instilling kids with confidence and self respect is admirable. No matter how far our son makes it along his own training journey, we know his time with Mr. K and the great teachers at JMA will have been integral to his long term success. We consider them part of our family's team.

The owner of this facility is such a passionate and patient teacher. She loves what she does and she is able to pass those skills onto her students with the upmost profession. Her patience is key when it comes to how she teaches and cares for her students during these lessons. Highly recommend if you want your kiddo to be well taken care of AND learn some amazing skills!

I've been working out with Mr. K since the day Journey opened up - currently 3 mornings a week before work. I wouldn't be exaggerating to say that that hour with him is often the highlight of my day. I look forward to it...often jumping out of bed in anticipation of it. And just to be clear - I'm currently 49 and only started working out 4 years ago, so it's not like I've been some maniacal workout fiend all my life. Mr. K makes it that much fun and makes you feel that good about what you've done for yourself...all without being pushy or overly aggressive. He does a phenomenal job varying the exercises so it's never boring, and constructing them so that each person is able to push themselves to the extent they are able/want to.
I'm in better shape at 49 than I was at 29 and it doesn't feel like a hardship at all. I highly recommend Journey Martial Arts/Mr K for anyone who is looking to improve their overall level of fitness via a friendly, personable environment where everyone is just looking to better themselves with no other pretenses.

Mr. K (Farzad) is an amazing instructor who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed with his warm smile while kicking butt! I have taken a self defense course with him as well as fitness classes and I can tell you that he is an amazing teacher.

All my friends know that I hate exercise. I believed that if you never exercised, your body would never need to store fat :-D. But Mr. K would encourage me to try out his classes. So, I took up the challenge and his regimen resulted in the fittest me that I had ever known. I was eating better, feeling energized and I was experiencing endorphins in a way that I had never known. I HIGHLY recommend Journey Martial Arts! Go on, get off your backside! It is worth it :-)

How Martial Arts Builds Stronger Communities Around Austin

March 5, 2025
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find activities that foster both personal growth and community connection. That’s where martial arts shines. Beyond teaching techniques, martial arts creates strong, interconnected communities that support each other inside and outside the studio.

At Journey Martial Arts, we’ve seen firsthand how training connects people of all ages and backgrounds. Let’s explore how martial arts builds a stronger sense of community in Austin, TX, and beyond.

A Shared Goal Brings People Together

Every martial arts class is built on the idea of improving yourself, whether you’re working toward your next belt or mastering a new technique. This shared goal creates a unique bond among students, fostering friendships and mutual encouragement.

Cross-Generational Connections

Martial arts brings people of all ages together in one space. It’s not uncommon to see a 10-year-old learning alongside a 40-year-old parent or a senior citizen sharing tips with a teenager. These interactions break down barriers and create a diverse, inclusive environment.

Empowering Local Families

In areas like Round Rock and Pflugerville, many families look for activities that teach discipline and respect while promoting physical health. Martial arts offers a constructive outlet for energy, helping kids and adults alike develop positive habits.

Community Events and Celebrations

At Journey Martial Arts, we host belt ceremonies, sparring showcases, and regional competitions. These events bring families and friends together to celebrate achievements and foster a sense of pride in the community.

Promoting Health and Well-Being

From stress relief to physical fitness, martial arts provides countless benefits that contribute to happier, healthier individuals. When individuals thrive, so do their communities.

Join the Martial Arts Community in Austin Whether you live in Austin, Cedar Park, Kyle, Buda, or Round Rock, martial arts offers an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for growth and self-improvement.

At Journey Martial Arts, we’re proud to be part of the local community. Our classes are designed to help you reach your goals while building lasting relationships with fellow students.

Interested in joining? Visit our studio at 7032 Wood Hollow Dr. Unit 105, Austin, TX 78731 or call 512-670-9716 to get started today. Let’s grow stronger together.
