I’ve been studying Chinese martial arts for a while now in Austin and without a doubt the Chinese Martial Arts Academy of Austin is the real deal. You get instruction in both traditional Northern Long Fist(Chan Quan) and modern Wushu as well. There are also Yang Style Tai Chi, Chi Gong, and Chin Na lessons. The classes are relatively small, where you get plenty of attention from the friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated Sifu Scott. The students in the school are all highly dedicated and eager to explore all aspects of Kung Fu/Wushu. Kids classes are available too. One important note: this is not a place where people stand in line in bright uniforms and punch for 2 hours. This is an authentic school of instruction where you are going to practice both fighting and the«art» aspect of martial arts. With this type of focus, the school may not look like the stereotypical«martial arts academy», but if you want to genuinely learn Kung Fu this is the place. I live and work in Austin, but I gladly commute up to Cedar Park to practice. The place is just that good.

Great school. Small classes with personalized attention. Sifu Scott is very patient with beginners like myself in Kung Fu. Curriculum is very traditional, Northern Long Fist style. Forms are very practical, and good mixture of exercises, stretching, grabs/joint locks, and standard forms. End of class is left for individualized training. Very relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend studying kung fu with Sifu Scott.
