We sent an email to our community yesterday that we want to make sure everyone has a chance to read. 💛
The Cosmo Memorial Scholarship Fund honors the memory of Sensei Jonathan's nephew Cosmo, whose life was a beautiful, living example of what he believed: to live fully, to love deeply, and to lift others up.
Cosmo's spirit of kindness, presence, and joyful curiosity is at the very heart of Life Ki-do. And in his memory, we created this fund to help more families in the Austin area access the kind of training and community that Life Ki-do offers, regardless of their financial situation. Every contribution goes directly to tuition and training gear for students who need it. 100% of proceeds go to the fund.
There are two ways to support the fund. You can purchase a customizable Life Ki-do yard sign celebrating your child's training journey, or make a one-time or recurring monetary donation of any amount.
If his story resonates with you, we would be deeply grateful for your support in keeping his message alive and growing.

This review made our whole team smile from ear to ear. 🎉
Over a year of classes. A 5th birthday party right here at the dojo. And a little boy who considers Life Ki-do his favorite thing he does every single week. That is everything we work for.
What this family describes is exactly the environment we set out to create at Life Ki-do in Westlake. A place where children learn respect, body control, compassion, and self-awareness not through lectures or drills, but through movement, play, and community. A place kids ask to come back to, week after week, because it genuinely feels like theirs.
And birthday parties at the dojo? One of our absolute favorite things we get to do. Watching a child celebrate surrounded by friends in a space where they feel confident and at home is the kind of moment that stays with you.
To this wonderful family, thank you so much. Watching your son grow over this past year has been a true privilege. 💛
If you have a child in Westlake Hills, Rollingwood, Barton Creek, or across Austin who is looking for that kind of environment, we would love to meet them.

Life Ki-do families, we have something special for the dads this June. 💛
All month long, dads train free. Unlimited access to our Teen/Adult Martial Arts, Adult Martial Arts, and Tai Chi classes from June 1st through June 30th. No experience needed and no pre-registration required. Just come in, show up, and train.
We know how much dads pour into their families, their work, and everyone around them. This Father's Day season, we want to give them something that is genuinely for them. An hour on the mat is an hour to build strength, reduce stress, sharpen focus, and reconnect with themselves in a way that makes everything else a little easier.
Here is everything included:
🥋 Teen/Adult Martial Arts Classes (ages 13+)
🥋 Adult Martial Arts Classes (ages 18+)
🧘 Tai Chi Classes (ages 18+)
If dad decides he loves it and wants to keep training after June, we will also waive the $120 registration fee for anyone who enrolls before June 30th. That is a great deal on top of a free month.
Current Life Ki-do dads who are already members can take advantage of unlimited classes throughout June at no additional cost. A perfect time to train more consistently, try a new class, or finally give Tai Chi a shot.
This offer is exclusively for current Life Ki-do families. Tag the dad in your life below and send him the link. We would love to see more dads on the mat this month. 🙌

This review made our whole team smile. 💛
Four years. From age 3 to age 7. And a family that has watched their son grow in self-control, confidence, and leadership every step of the way — thanks in large part to one incredibly dedicated instructor.
Sensei Doug is one of those rare people who was simply born to work with children. The patience, the presence, the ability to connect with a 3-year-old on their level and still be exactly what that same child needs four years later — that's not something you can teach. It's a gift. And our Life Ki-do community in Westlake is better because he is in it.
To the family who wrote this review, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Knowing that Sensei Doug has made this kind of difference in your son's life is exactly why we do what we do every single day.
If your child is looking for that kind of consistent, caring mentorship in Austin or Westlake Hills, we would love to introduce you to our team.
