Moving to Texas - Any good schools?

Hey everyone! I will be moving to the Austin area of Texas within the next few months. Does anyone have a good school to recommend? Here is what I'm looking for...

1) My wife and I are both in Soo Bahk Do so something that is similar to Tae Kwon Do would be great

2) I don't want to get into any religion debates here or anything but we are Christians and would rather a school that is not deep into mysticism, eastern religion, etc. Just clean cut martial arts.

3) I'm getting a Job in Austin but might be living close to San Antonio as well. So if you have any schools in those areas let me know.

Good luck with the move and finding a nice new school.

That's a quite a drive from Austin to San Antonio.

Tis true but I wanted to keep my options open. If I end up living somewhere in between the two cities it might be feasible to train in either or. I guess it depends on where I settle down.

Asiyel is on a distinguished road



Check into the World Youn Wha Ryu Academy, it used Tae Kwan Do as a base for the style, and at the blackbelt level and higher it begins to incorporate elements from just about every major style. Also, the Grandmaster of the association lives in Texas so you would probably get to train with him some. And, though not specifically a Christian organization, Grandmaster Han is himself a Christian and that carries over into his teaching. Here is the website:

Those are excellent choices, a Relson black belt and a Barra brown belt! Looks like either would be good choices. Where in NJ are you currently training?
