Master Gohring's Tai Chi & Kung Fu Master Gohring's Tai Chi & Kung Fu (Est. 1996). Now next to Kick Butt Coffee, Austin, Texas, Y’all. Without question, he would choose a Chinese martial art.

Master Thomas Gohring discovered the martial arts in eighth grade and was immediately fascinated. He saw every Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movie, read books, and memorized fighting principles. He began training in Kung Fu at a local school for two hours, three nights a week, and then spent every free moment practicing and play-fighting with his best friend. Under his first teacher, he spent three years working through the fundamentals of six major styles of Chinese martial arts. Wing Chun, simple and effective, was Bruce Lee’s original style. Xingyi is a powerful and explosive style that simultaneously attacks and defends. Hung Gar Tiger-Crane, with its low stances and powerful hand techniques, builds strength, and the Taoist Bagua circle-walking teaches evasiveness. Mizongyi, a Northern Shaolin “long-fist” style, is characterized by leaping kicks. And from the subtle and beautiful Wudang art of Tai Chi, Master Gohring first encountered the arresting idea that ultimate power comes from a calm and focused mind. Along the way, he also sampled some of the martial arts of other countries: Japanese aiki-jujitsu, with its throwing and joint-locking techniques, Western boxing, Brazilian jujitsu, Filipino stick and knife fighting, and karate. At the end of his junior year of high school, he was awarded his first black sash. His training already had breadth; at this point, he would choose one art to study at greater depth. But which one?

Sometimes the biggest benefits of Kung Fu have nothing to do with throwing a punch or landing a kick.

Listen to what one of our teen students has to say about his own experience.

He talks about developing better focus and discipline. Becoming more flexible and physically capable. Feeling happier and more confident. And finding a place where he can train hard, spar, challenge himself—and still feel completely comfortable being himself.

That’s the part of martial arts you can’t always see from the outside.

At Master Gohring’s Tai Chi & Kung Fu, we teach real Kung Fu and practical self-defense. But after 30 years of teaching in Austin, we know the training can become much more than that.

It can be a place to work hard.
A place to belong.
A place to discover what you’re capable of.

You don’t have to be athletic to start Kung Fu.

This student is proof.

When he started training at Master Gohring’s Tai Chi & Kung Fu, he didn’t consider himself athletic. He couldn’t kick much higher than his waist.

Then he kept training.

He got stronger. More flexible. More capable. He discovered that he genuinely loves sparring—and eventually found himself doing something he once probably wouldn’t have imagined:

Kicking over someone’s head. 😳

That’s one of the things we love about Kung Fu. You don’t have to wait until you’re stronger, more flexible, coordinated, or confident enough to begin.

You begin—and the training builds from there.

At Master Gohring’s Tai Chi & Kung Fu, we’ve been teaching real Kung Fu in Austin for 30 years: practical self-defense, forms, conditioning, partner training, and sparring in a structured, supportive environment where beginners are welcome.

You don’t have to be athletic to start Kung Fu. You just have to start.

One of the things we hear from adult students is that they never thought of themselves as particularly athletic when they began. Then, little by little, things change.

You get stronger. More flexible. More coordinated. More confident.

And one day you realize you can kick over someone’s head. 😳

At Master Gohring’s Tai Chi & Kung Fu, adults train at their own level while learning real Kung Fu, practical self-defense, forms, conditioning, and sparring—all in a supportive environment where beginners are welcome.

Isn’t Tai Chi just what old people do in the park?” It’s one of the questions we hear most often. Amanda thought the same thing until she stepped into class. She quickly discovered Tai Chi is much more than slow movements—it’s a challenging art that develops focus, balance, coordination, memory, and discipline. Just as important, she found a welcoming community and friendships that have kept her coming back. Watch Amanda’s story, then come experience it for yourself.
