Looking for an inexpensive Austin venue for a martial arts tournament

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a relatively cheap venue for a martial arts tournament.  Ideally it would be located in Austin, but San Antonio could also work.  The space would need to have space for two 25 ft by 25 ft square rings.  We would also need use of electrical outlets.  Wifi would be a big plus.  Temperature control would be nice, but since it's in May, it's not absolutely necessary.  It could be an outdoor location if there is sufficient cover from potential rainfall.  The footing absolutely cannot get wet.  We would need the venue from early afternoon through mid evening or later.  The event will probably be on a Saturday.

Does anyone know of a location that could house an event like this?

Which martial art?

It's a nerd thing, but it really is a ton of fun.  The sport seems to attract very nice people.  The closest thing to it would be something like Historical European Martial Arts long sword, as most people fight 2 handed and the pace is similar.  But we use lightsabers... because... lightsabers.

Looks cool. Y'all need to do it some place where people can see it.

We have free open practices to anyone on most Sundays.  It's usually been in Zilker but that place is still in recovery from the music festival.  We'll probably be at Browning Hangar for several more weeks.

I play with epee 3 states away, but if I'm ever in Austin I might give it a go.

How many times did you get stuffed into a locker when you were a kid?
