Integrated Fighting Arts (IFA) Academy, located in the University Towers Business Center near the University of Texas (UT) Austin campus, specializes in detailed instruction in Boxing, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Submission Grappling, Wrestling, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and Filipino Martial Arts. Since 1990, our academy welcomes anyone interested in attaining realistic fighting skills, getting in great physical condition, and having a lot of fun in the process.
I’ve been to several schools of different martial arts over the years, and IFA is the best I’ve ever been to by far, and for many reasons.
The instructor (Frank Benn) has a pretty phenomenal depth of knowledge about any aspect of fighting you’d care to study. He also takes the time work with each individual student, beginner or advanced, and puts together lesson plans that take into account the skills and development of every student. It’s also worth noting that the school teaches functional fighting, which is rather different that many sport-based systems.
The facility is great (really nice mats), the equipment is all top quality, and the rates are entirely reasonable. Plus, IFA plays the best music you’ll ever hear in an MMA school. Guaranteed.
