Immortal Martial Arts Academy

We are proud to be hosting the Austin Komei Jyuku iaido seminars this year at our dojo taught by headmaster Sekiguchi Komei sensei and assisted by Sonoko sensei flying in from Japan.

Contact Austin Komei Jyuku if you have experience in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu style iaido and are interested in participating.

The 2026 Austin MJER seminar has been rescheduled to September 13th - September 17th!

Originally scheduled last June, flights were unfortunately cancelled due to typhoons. We look forward to September, thank you for your patience!

The “KARATE” feather flag broke from the last storm so replaced it with this nice looking double sided “JIU-JITSU” feather flag this time. I really like the 2 sided feather flags! I think all our new replacements will also be 2 sided.

We saw the most amazing full rainbow with a double rainbow at the dojo at sunset time Thursday night (~8:20-8:25pm) during our advanced class. Truly a magical moment for myself and our students when the sky turned pink and we spotted the rainbows. The entire ran outside and got photos for the few minutes it lasted. I’ve personally never seen the full rainbow like that, and definitely not with a double rainbow at the same time!

It was Coach Jeff’s birthday this week on May 6th, happy birthday to him! We always do birthday hits on BOB, even for adults!

Lots of ladies! Our teen/adult class on Monday and Wednesday has 2 adult and 3 teen females (and others), so great to see this many ladies training! Come join us!

The KARATE sign we had over the office was the original sign I had at our old suite 103 from 2021 until we moved in 2025. Then I moved it to the office when we got the larger location(suite 112) and had our gorgeous channel letter sign made for Suite 114-B (next door, 113 doesn’t exist). Finally caved and had the sign folks update the cabinet sign to use our same font, same orange and make it say KARATE & JIU-JITSU. So happy with how it came out! Just in time for updated signage before Crunch Fitness opens in our same shopping center later this year. 😁
