Mark Austin has been teaching martial arts since 2004. His passion for martial arts stems from his early taekwondo classes as a child and teenager to his exploration of Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Aikido, and several other martial arts.
His passion for martial arts led him to open his first Cutting Edge Martial Arts in Big Sky, Montana, in 2011, dedicated to providing comprehensive martial arts training, promoting fitness, and encouraging focus and self-discipline among children and adults.In June of 2013, he opened a second location in Bozeman.

Cutting Edge Martial Arts was created out of strong passion, focused vision and a ceaseless commitment to making learning easy and accessible. Since opening in 2012, we've had the opportunity to help countless students acquire practical self-defense skills, achieve and maintain high levels of fitness, and confidently move forward in their learning journey.
My daughter has attended martial arts classes with Mark Austin since kindergarten. She is now nine years into the program and I believe that she has gained strength of character, discipline, and a level of accomplishment that is unparalleled as a result of her experience at Cutting Edge Martial Arts.

Great atmosphere for learning, excellent and knowledge instructors for both kids and adults. Explanations in practical uses and simple terms for students to easily digest/retain the material. Fun, challenging, and a great workout every time. Including online classes for current COVID conditions as well!

I have been doing Taekwondo with Master Austin since I was 5 and now I have become a Third degree black belt. Master Austin is a very kind teacher and has great teaching techniques for people of any age. In this Taekwondo school, you not only learn Taekwondo but many other things as well. I highly recommend this Taekwondo school because of how much it has taught me and how great of a place it is to socialize.

I cannot recommend CEMA enough! I needed immediate self-defense training, and was looking for a place that offered material I could use from my first class onwards.
The class is a welcoming, non-judgmental, environment where you can thrive -- regardless of your gender or current fitness level. The students are kind and respectful, and the instructors are attentive to each individual's goals and needs.
In addition to my invaluable self-defense skills, my agility, strength, and balance have also improved since being with CEMA. With each class, my confidence soars; I walk away feeling empowered

Master Austin and other instructors are nothing short of amazing. They know how to teach to all levels of ages and abilities. My seven year old son has been taking part in these classes for six months now. I am continually being amazed at how they are able to encourage and effectively motivate all of the students. I have nothing but great things to say and encourage everyone who is interested in martial arts training to come and check it out.
