We are an official USA Judo registered club established since early 2022. Our goal is to contribute to the San Antonio Martial Arts community and improve people's lives through teachings of Jigoro Kano, the creator of Judo.
Our competition success is visible through Smoothcomp link:https://smoothcomp.com/en/club/40772
Through martial arts we build strong individuals with good morals and character that can defend themselves when needed against attackers and bullies and overcome any other roadblocks that life may bring. Through physical exercise and the education of Judo, we strive to build a moral code of courage, respect, modesty, friendship, honor, self control and courtesy.
At our Dojo we don't focus only on favorite students, but we treat everyone equally. Everyone can find his place and friends with us as we focus on all aspects of the martial art. Sport and competition, self defense (Combat Judo) and recreational Judo for anyone that just want's to learn something new and get a good workout. We encourage especially teenagers and young adults including women that are facing bullying and harassment to join our club. Judo has been proven over and over to be one of the most effective martial arts in the world that is used by the military and police around the world.
All levels are welcome to visit and try 1 week for free!
