Company Overview


Character in Action (DBA Premier Martial Arts) is a fast-growing martial arts start-up with multiple locations serving the Greater Austin metro area with a mission to empower lives through martial arts.

We use a blended style of Taekwondo, Karate, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and Krav Maga.

We view martial arts not only as a sport or means for self defense, but more importantly as a tool for lifelong character development.

We use martial arts to teach our students to have confidence, live with integrity, respect others, be accountable, maintain focus and discipline.

We seek to develop students' physical and mental fitness in a fun and exciting atmosphere.

We also encourage lifelong development and learning through adult classes that focus on fitness, self-defense, and self-confidence in an inclusive environment.


Character in Action was started by a former engineer and business strategy consultant who worked for some of the world's largest corporations and private equity companies.

His vision is to build an engaging culture and a collaborative team that directly impacts people's lives and communities.
