Buitron Academy is NOT your typical Martial Arts School, it has
been on the same address for 20
years and is the founding school of
Danse De Rue Savate system. It is a Fact that this family has been
involved in martial skills and keeping alive the Basque art of Zipota
and its traditions for well over four generations here in Texas. Zipota
is the foundation art of the system of Danse De Rue Savate.
Buitron Academy in the first school of Savate in the
United States. It has been located on the same street, 220 Hillside Rd,
since 1989. There have been clubs of Savate yet an official School never
since this date.
It is also the first
school of Capoeira here in Texas, but it should not be the motive that
you consider for YOUR schooling.
Rather consider that the Instructors
are the best in the industry. They not only have the ability to educate
and empower their students at any age level or martial arts background.
One needs to understand that Buitron Academy’s roots go back to
the founding school of Savate in 1803, with a direct lineage to Maitre Micheal Casseux founder of Savate. As well as being heavily rooted in
lineage to the Hawaiian Kempo traditions under the late Sifu Keith See
(1st Generation Parker Black belt) and to the Capoeira School of Mestre
Bimba {creator of Regional Capoeira}, through the watchful eyes of
Mestre Acordeon.
Buitron Academy was started By Dr. Paul Buitrón a Silver
Glove 2nd and Professeur of Savate and his late brother Maitre Isidro Chapa the
last true instructor of the Basque martial art of Zipota.

At Buitron Academy, Professeur Buitron is always training
its students and coaches constantly. He is always expanding his
students’ martial knowledge, within the other superb combative systems
of the world. Allowing them to train with the best Sifus of Kempo,
Mestres of Capoeira, Guru 's of Pentjack Silat Serak and Guro’s of Serrada Escrima as well as in other
systems, thus educating its members within the Martial skills and to
respect all systems and styles which insure you in attaining your goals
as well.

At Buitron Academy we believe in the power of rationale: thus is
the rationale to teach correctly the traditions as well as the
techniques without hybridizing or fumbling within techniques that we
have not lived.
The systems are taught in a classroom setting that enables you to
acknowledge your abilities and understand thus creating room for
expansion and self growth. While understanding the purpose of the
martial skill with all of its benefits of training gathering a fit and
functional body both mentally and physically.
Many of our students have commented that the most important thing they
have gotten out of training besides fighting skills, the self-defense
skills and a better fitness level, that each and every class is
structured around. Is the fact that they get is an
ability
to achieve and succeed within the growth of self-esteem and attitude of
security for the modern western world.
Buitron Academy teaches two of the worlds most effective
streetwise martial arts. It does not incorporate a combination of
techniques nor teaches concepts, but teaches the craft as a science that
is proven in realistic personal protection that is built for the western
world.
Today Buitron Academy is operated by his son and Professeur
Paul-Raymond Buitrón III who became the first American to achieve the
Silver Glove in France as well as the first American to become a
Professeur of all of its disciplines in France.
