In 1994, Ms. Palacios opened her first school in South Austin.  In 2002, after working as an engineer for 12 years in the semi-conductor industry, she left the company to pursue her dream of changing lives through the instruction and positive motivation of martial arts training.

“I searched for the best martial arts program available for many years.  I stopped with the ATA because it combines all Martial Arts systems insuring the development of a well rounded martial artist.”
