I hear they like traditional weapons and work with a live blade. One of their guys has come over to train. If he is representative of their school they are knowledgeable and nice and passionate about their training. Also I got the chance to train with the head of their system, Threadgill Sensei. He was top notch. While advertised as Aikijujitsu his school is not from the Daito Ryu lineage. He claimed a family sogo bujutsu style, which is interesting.
He was very knowledgeable about history and is a very nice fellow. Worth checking out the school if in South Austin. I stopped by his school and spent a few hours watching the ground work class. I really liked the vibe of the place and how the students worked together.
Charles is a really friendly guy, knowledgeable and intensely into the martial arts. I like him, and likely in the future I will try to pop in and train with this group every now and then. The judo school is under Sensei Matl 9th dan, a national champion and coach to olmypians.
Judo classes are small, with one on one teaching from high level teachers in the art form. This is the place to train in town! Matl's system includes all of the techniques of classical Judo. His teaching emphasizes leg techniques, ground fighting, and techniques for unbalancing an opponent. His throws are safe, simple, low power and extremely effective. Chad Haas is a really nice guy, great teacher and a monster on the ground.
This school is a mix of sports team, self defense and recreational club. I stopped by and trained and here is my impression. This is a sports focused club. Go here and help the process! Among the Austin judo scene this club is often thought of as the young man's power judo club. I do not believe they have a high ranking teacher on staff. Vandry website Austin Community College I know they run judo classes, and that they are very cheap.
Worth doing a search. Che seems like a nice guy, open to conversation and invited me to join in. The work was fairly athletic in nature. Che is a third dan and he looks like a solid one. I like the focus they have of infusing the BJJ with their judo. Although the school had only been open a few weeks the class was full. It did not look like very many people where advanced in judo, but there were many formidable looking jujitsu guys.
Only one student had a judo gi, everyone else was decked in the flashy jujitsu garb. If you are looking for the BJJ flavor, I hope this list helps. It is an interesting mix of aikido, judo and traditional jujitsu. I have trained with the guys in Round Rock. They are really nice, and have a solid workout. They also share space with Round Rock judo and aikido so cross training is available from world class teachers.
Hidalgo Sensei in Round Rock is also in Shinto philosophy and Sumo, so you can get a very unique study of Japanese culture. This group is run by Kendall Kelsoe. I watched 2 classes about 7 years ago in this East Austin dojo.
Kendall was very well trained and had excellent technique and knowledge. His sword work and knife work might be the best I have seen in Austin. He is a very powerful teacher.

Sensei Bob Rea Judo. EC Martial Arts Blog. To become a person in harmony with others, to become an integrated and balanced individual, and to explore our full human potential should be the aims of the Aikido student.
It is obviously a lifetime pursuit. Aikido classes are held every weekday evening at 6 pm and Saturday mornings at am. In addition, on Mondays and Thursdays there is a second Aikido class at These classes either follow the beginners program curriculum or otherwise focus on fundamentals. Aikido classes usually begin with a warm-up that focuses on the muscles and movements used in Aikido practice.
Techniques are demonstrated by the instructor and then students pair up and practice the technique shown while the instructor provides feedback. Three or four techniques are usually reviewed in this way and then used in a less structured period of practice, giwaza or randori, to help the student integrate the techniques as dynamic movements.
Class then usually concludes with traditional cool-down exercises.
