Self Defense ATX Mission

Self Defense ATX is a Traditional Martial Arts Academy program dedicated to teaching the skills of personal safety, empowerment and wellness. Our passion for our students and community can be expressed in the following principles:

  • To cultivate a safe and welcoming community that encourages personal growth and resilience through physical self defense training.
  • To emphasize non-violent strategies for solving conflict.
  • To give back to our neighbors in the greater Austin area through volunteerism and fundraising.

Katie Villarreal runs the Self Defense ATX program. She has been teaching here at Traditional Martial Arts Academy since 2011 and is passionate about teaching martial arts, self-defense and the skills of empowerment. Learn more about her here!
