PARENTING
Life Ki-do expands into parenting publishing the award-winning book, Life Ki-do Parenting: Tools to Raise Happy, Confident Kids from the Inside Out.
Over the past 30 years, Life Ki-do has grown from a small martial arts school in a local Westlake gym to one of the biggest martial arts schools in the entire Austin area with classes for ages 3-adult. Life Ki-do has evolved into much more than martial arts becoming a center for inner well-being, an educational outreach, and a resource for positive parenting.
Life Ki-do has led hundreds of workshops over the years in both public and private schools in Austin, Westlake, Tarrytown and Lakeway. Just a few of those schools are: Eanes Elementary, Bridgepoint Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, Casis Elementary, Acton Academy, Trinity Episcopal School, St. Stephen's Episcopal School, St. Matthew's Episcopal School, St. Michael's Pre-School, YPW, Casa Montessori, Athena Montessori, Parkside Montessori, Headwaters School, West Austin Youth Association (WAYA), UT Lab School.
