History

Established in 1973.

Brian Duffy’s Kenpo Karate opened for business on Sept 15, 1973 on the corner of South Lamar and Manchaca Rd. in south Austin. We remained in that location for over 26 years until our building was sold in early 2000. We then relocated to our next location at 6520 South Congress. Then beginning in November 2011 we moved to our present location at 3800 Woodbury Drive, a block east of Congress and a half block north of Ben White Blvd (Hwy 290). Over the years we have taught literally thousands of men, women, and children. We now regularly have prior students bring in their children and even grand-​children to get the same benefits of training that they had recieved as members of our program.
