Billings' Kenpo Karate and the Academy of Martial Arts are located in
North
Austin. The school is approximately 12 minutes from the
University
of Texas, and 15 minutes from downtown. We are located between
the
Duval and Oak Knoll Exits, off Highway 183 (Research Blvd.), on the southbound
access road. We are in
the professional building between Dunkin
Donuts and Brake Check. Located in the same building are the
Emergency
After Hours Animal Hospital, SureCom, and Best Price Banners &
Signs.
It is across 183 from the entrance to the Riata Apartments. Turn
into the first driveway immediately past the
entrance to Dunkin Donuts. Parking
and the main school entrance
are in the rear of the building, near
the end.
