LIFE KI-DO MARTIAL ARTS, PARENTING & LIFE EDUCATION

Life Ki-do is where martial arts meets inner well being. Throughout every class, Life Ki-do students are taught to connect their 3 Bs (Body, Breath, and Brain) developing focus and mindfulness, confidence and resilience, relaxation skills to deal with stress and anxiety, empathy and kindness, as well as a strong, safe body.

Classes for ages 3 through adult offer a unique curriculum that blends Systema, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Tai Chi, Qigong and self-defense training.
Life Ki-do training is based on a spontaneous flow of movements rather than rigid, pre-set techniques. In addition to being healthier for our bodies, this type of training prepares students for the spontaneity of daily life.

Students learn to problem solve in the moment and deal with physical, mental and emotional scenarios that parallel what they are faced with in their daily living. The result is students who trust their inner strength and ability developing confidence from the inside out rather than basing their self-worth on the validation of others.

Life Ki-do also offers workshops for adults on parenting, flow, and well-being. Founders Jonathan & Lana Hewitt have written an award-winning book called Life Ki-do Parenting: Tools to Raise Happy Confident Kids from the Inside Out.

Life Ki-do has been voted Best Afterschool Activity by the Austin Chronicle, Favorite Sports Education by KidsOutandAbout.com, and Best Youth Martial Arts Program by Austin Family and Austin Fit Magazines.

New students are welcome to sign up for a free trial class.

  1. Our family has been a part of the Life Ki-do community for 3 years. We joined when our oldest son was 3 years-old. Today, our boys are 6.5 and 4.5, and we couldn’t imagine family life without the impact of this community. Our children benefit from the physical training each week – even more importantly, our entire family benefits from the life principles taught during training.

    We use the breathing and mindfulness practices throughout our day, bringing calm and awareness when ANY ONE OF US gets overstimulated (“Mommy, you need to use your breathing”). I observed my 6 year-old using breathing deeply and intentionally during a haircut to keep himself calm. Concepts of friendship learned at the dojo strengthen the boys’ sibling bond daily.

    My favorite part of the approach is the invitation to tune into themselves, noticing how the activity or interaction is impacting their emotions and sense of themselves, training their attention to their own inner guidance vs. outside approval from others.

    Our family would highly recommend Life Ki-do to anyone… and we do! Any chance we get.

  2. My 3 year old is not very good with organized activities & this has been the best class we’ve enrolled him in. It’s a great class for my son to spend quality one on one time with my husband while being active & learning good solid moral practices. Yes yes he’s done My Gym & Champions bouncing & tumbling etc, but this is quite different no frills just good ole rumbling & foundations for karate with his dad. It’s been great!

  3. My son has attended classes here for 8 years, and it’s been a wonderful part of our lives. It has made him a stronger person in body and spirit. The senseis are wonderful mentors.

  4. Blended martial arts with a hefty dose of life skills.

    Life-kido martial arts embraces a variety of martial arts traditions into a program that promote physical, emotional and social development. Children are challenged at their level and encouraged to do their personal best without yelling or negative aggression. The emphasis is on using your energy to achieve goals, and to open children up to the idea that even when “feelings” are strong.. they can control that energy for good. They call it River Energy, and it is all about regulating emotions and feelings to meet goals.

    The staff is intentional in their approach of everything from greeting students, sorting behavior issues, and encouraging individually. We are continually impressed with their ability to speak to each student at their level and to listen.. really listen to their students and meet them at their level.

    Then of course are the physical challenges, we have seen our child do some remarkable physical feats that we never expected… all with a smiling confidence that warms our hearts.

    Being part of the LifeKido is good for our whole family.

  5. Like Kido is an absolutely fantastic place to learn and grow alongside your children. My son and I have only been going a short time now and I have already noticed a HUGE difference in the way we communicate and interact. Him and I have been more cooperative and sensitive to one another’s needs and feelings — a practice that was much needed in our everyday life. Things get hectic and it can become easy to fall out of flow. Life Kido helps you to be more sensitive to when you or your loved one is out of this flow, while also providing ways to check in and support one another in returning to the peaceful flow that is waiting to be reestablished. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough! The instructors, exercises, classmates, and life lessons are all beyond exceptional.
