š„ āI donāt think Iād be half as disciplined and focused if it werenāt for Kung Fu.ā
Meet Emmet, a teenager whose journey at Master Gohringās Tai Chi & Kung Fu in Austin, Texas, started when his dad wanted him to get out of the house after the pandemic.
At first, Emmet didnāt consider himself particularly athletic. He couldnāt even kick above his waist. Today, heās kicking five to six feet high, loves sparring, and has discovered something even more valuable than physical ability: confidence in himself.
š¬ āIf you think youāre not athletic enough, just come. You will be.ā
In this video, Emmet shares how traditional Kung Fu training has helped him develop greater discipline, focus, perseverance, and a more positive outlook. He speaks openly about his experiences with ADHD, difficult days at school, and how getting to class and moving his body often helped him feel better.
But what stands out most is what he says about the people.
ā¤ļø A welcoming community.
š„ Instructors who genuinely care.
šŖ Encouragement to work hard and keep improving.
ā A place where you can be yourself.
At Master Gohringās Tai Chi & Kung Fu, weāve been helping Austin families discover the benefits of traditional martial arts since 1996.
Our classes give kids and teenagers opportunities to build strength, flexibility, coordination, confidence, self-discipline, and friendships in a supportive environment.
And you donāt have to be athletic to get started. Thatās what training is for!
š NEW STUDENT SPECIAL ā $49.95
One full week of classes PLUS a uniform!
š Master Gohringās Tai Chi & Kung Fu
Austin, Texas ā next door to Kick Butt Coffee.
š Celebrating 30 years of teaching martial arts in Austin!
Watch Emmetās story, then come see what Kung Fu could mean for your family.

32 hours of Tai Chi training on hardwood floors so far will tell you a lot about your shoes. šāÆļø
This year, I brought my recently purchased Xero Shoes to train with Grandmaster Chen Bing at Omei Academy in Cupertino, California.
I love my HOKAs for walking. Iāve been walking everywhere this week! But for my Tai Chi practice, the experience has been very different.
Last year, I trained in my HOKAs, and the height and soft cushioning made balancing on one leg feel much harder. I could feel my ankles rocking as I tried to settle into a posture. The slow weight shifts and precise movements were harder to get right, and my feet became incredibly hot. Between the heat and the strain I was feeling, they were seriously uncomfortable.
So this year, I brought something different.
Xero Shoes have a zero-drop sole, meaning the heel isnāt elevated above the forefoot. They also have flexible soles and room for your toes to spread. After 32 hours of training on hardwood, Iām sharing how wearing them compares with last yearās experience.
In Tai Chi, we spend so much time working on balance, relaxing, shifting weight, and feeling our connection to the ground. Whatās between your feet and that floor is something you really notice.
This is my experience with my own pairs of shoes. I still love my HOKAs for walkingābut for Tai Chi, I wanted a different feel underfoot.
What do you wear for Tai Chi or martial arts training?

A little observation from a week of walking around Cupertino. š¶āāļøš²
Iām here for 40 hours of training at Chen Bingās annual Tai Chi seminar at Omei Academy, and Iāve walked pretty much everywhereāincluding my morning coffee runs.
The attention to bicycles and pedestrians really stands out. Some of the bike infrastructure and crosswalk improvements feel like another level. Austin is working on this too, and when youāre traveling on foot all week, you really appreciate those details.
I also mention Californiaās rules for drivers around pedestrians. I checked afterward, and yesāeven if a pedestrian is crossing illegally, drivers still have a legal duty to exercise care to avoid hitting them, including slowing down or stopping when necessary. Someone else breaking a rule doesnāt erase your responsibility behind the wheel.
Between the street design and what Iāve experienced walking here, itās something Iāve appreciated throughout this trip.
And apparently 40 hours of Tai Chi wasnāt enough movement, so I added a week of walking everywhere. š
What improvements have made walking or biking better where you live?

Apparently there IS a limit to how far Iāll walk for coffee. I just havenāt found it yet. šāļø
Iāve been visiting Voyager Craft Coffee every morning this week while Iām in Cupertino for Chen Bingās annual Tai Chi seminar at Omei Academyā40 hours of training, with a little coffee exploration along the way.
If you saw my other video, Voyager is about a 1.3-mile walk from where Iām training. And yes, Iāve been walking past closer coffee options to get there. The coffee and that chili crunch avocado toast have kept me coming back.
But I learned during one of my visits that the building housing Voyager and Panera Bread next door is going to be torn down for a housing development.
Maybe most locals already know this, but it was news to this visiting Austin coffee shop owner!
And I checked afterward: Cupertino approved the redevelopment in April. The larger site will become 122 homesā66 small-lot single-family homes and 56 townhomes.
They told me theyāre expecting the change next year. They seemed pretty relaxed about that, but Iām standing there thinking, āNext year is only a few months away!ā š I havenāt found an official demolition date, though.
As for Voyagerās next spot, they told me theyāre hoping to relocate in Cupertino. The cityās latest update says theyāre exploring locations both inside and outside Cupertino, so nothing appears settled yet.
Hopefully they land somewhere close to Omei Academy for my next training visit. Otherwise, I might have to explore some other local coffee shops.
Iāll walk 1.3 miles for breakfast and coffee. How much farther? Apparently we may find out. š
Wishing the Voyager crew a smooth move whenever the time comes. Iāve enjoyed making this place part of my morning routine this week!

Another morning, another rough sword walkthrough. šāļø
This is the morning after our third night of Chen-style Tai Chi straight sword training here in Cupertino. Still working on remembering the sequence and getting the new movements into my body before we add more.
Recording these gives me something to look back onāand lets my students follow along with what Iām learning. Plenty to refine, but first Iāve gotta remember where the sword goes next! š

Face-melting metal, amazing pizza, and cold brew on point. š¤āš
Thatās how James Verschoyle described his night at Kick Butt Coffee in Austin, Texasāand that sounds like a pretty good Saturday to me!
James, thank you for the five-star Google review and the perfect scores for food, service, and atmosphere. I love hearing that you enjoyed the whole experience, from the guitars and drums to what weāre serving behind the counter.
If youāve driven past Kick Butt Coffee on Airport Boulevard and wondered what happens in here, this is part of the answer. Weāre a locally owned Austin coffee shop AND a live music venue, with heavy metal, punk rock, and a whole lot more taking the stage. You can grab a cold brew, order a pizza, and discover your next favorite bandāall in the same place.
Since opening in 2008, weāve been giving Austin a place to get caffeinated, enjoy good food, and support live music. Every person who buys a ticket, orders a drink, or brings a friend helps keep that going. And every review helps someone else discover us. Thank yāall. ā¤ļø
