New place, great owners and excellent coaches. It is a whole new training facility, built up to train high level athletes. Excellent for kids and adults who wants to get an opportunity to work with a black belt coaches (Russ Hogan) and olympic medalists (Sainjargalyn Nyam-Ochir). On Top of the regular practices sessions kids are getting prepared for a local and Nation competitions. My 6 and 9 years old getting much more than Judo. Discipline, respect, friendship and ethics are essential part of every practice. It is the best Judo Dojo in North Texas. We are blessed to have it in Plano, TX and we

I just started attending this month Eastside Dojo, and I have been really impressed and excited since attending my first practice. The coaches give really good feedback to help students improve their technique. Although a lot of the time spent at the night classes is on drills and sparring, there is coaching taking place the entire time and it is clear from working with members who have attended longer that good form and technique is taught. The coaches and students I have met have all been friendly and supportive. Not to mention the new facility is basically a dream dojo. Huge mats, bleachers

Eastside Dojo by far is the best Judo club around North Dallas. It covers all levels of experience with variety of classes and times that are available to work with most families’ schedules. I can’t thank enough the highly skilled coaches (Ken S, Ken P, Russ and Nyam-Ochir). They are absolutely amazing people and most importantly great coaches (highly experienced and you will get the chance to learn from Olympians full time). My Son and hubby both practice Judo there and we love our Eastsider family. I highly recommend Eastside Dojo for adults or children of any age.

The best Judo training center in Texas. The facility includes 4 official size tatami (mats) and a weigh training area which includes free weighs, machine weighs and cardio equipment. Top instructors with National and World competition experience including a 2012 Bronze Medalist Olympian. Great club for beginners and experienced players. Full of great training partners and a great Judo family to be a part of.

It's been 5 years and now they officially have the biggest judo dojo in the country!
*They have a new location 2655 Premier Dr Plano *
New location is so huge! Showers, lockers, everything you'd expect at a gym. The mat can easily accommodate over 50. So many seats and so much room.
Judo definitely is a great way to get your kids into the art of fighting. It teaches self control, defense, discipline and courage. The coaches here are world renowned and they are always giving to all their students. If You show up to do the work, they will make it worth your wild.
I love that all

Love this place! The location is huge!!! It’s the largest judo dojo in the country! Bathrooms all have showers and multiple stalls. Coaches are always on mat and working with the kids. I have both my boys here and they love it.
Judo is so much better than the other martial arts out there and they really help build the kids confidence with contact fighting and getting in shape. If you heard of jiu-jitsu than you should know that sport started from judo. Judo is also an Olympic sport!
I love that they treat my kids w so much patience and love. We been coming here for years and they don’t change

Great atmosphere, very accessible and down to earth people that love judo and love to teach it. Teachers are patient and knowledgeable. Even though the environment is relaxed and friendly, they encourage competition and everyone seems to have a good time. Classes for children and adults. Again, great people and great environment, even for those that may not be the most naturally athletic and coordinated. Highly recommend!

Excellent excellent place to learn some very useful martial arts (throwing and breakfalls and judo stuffs- pardon my technical terminology). Instructor truly caring and reflects in the overall aura of the school. Well disciplined class, friendly fellow students, no show off- all work. Serious. Topnotch.

Today was my second day of class, and I told myself I'd give it a week before I reviewed, but I already know how I feel- I love this place!
I called up one day on my way home from work, and Ken (sensei Ken?) told me to come on in that same night and check it out. We registered me that night, and I basically started out with a private lesson (having never done any judo before). I had so much fun, and Ken was super supportive and encouraging and gave great instruction. I came with my own unique set of challenges, but he took them in stride and I felt like any other student!

What a great group of people doing judo here!
I was in Plano for work for three weeks. I had been on a good stretch of training and improving my judo and did not want to let the momentum stop. I reached out to Sensei Ken (there's a lot of Kens at this place) and he told me to come on in and practice. I went in, and I'm glad I did!
There were a lot of seniors to train with, of all sizes and ranks. The Senseis were not just welcoming, but they were happy to teach as well and know great technique. It was nice to work out at a place that had a good amount of black belts that actually

I just recently started here and I am very impressed. I have had a lot of experience at other martial arts places over the years and this one really stands out. They are very structured when they run class. Every section of a good Judo practice is covered everyday! They pay close attention to each student and the knowledgeable coaches are always there to help. There is always several coaches on the mat and it feels like you are almost having a semi private class. They take great care in promoting a healthy and safe learning environment. The bathrooms, changing rooms and mats are always spotless

I just checked out Eastside Dojo yesterday. Pretty cool! My son and have never done Judo and yet the instructors were so patient and nice to us. I guess there is a tradition in Judo where experienced players help less experience players work on skills. We had guys with black belts who were nationally ranked helping introduce us to the sport. I must say, it was a really good workout, sort of like a good session with a personal trainer but a lot more fun. The dojo is super clean and new. I will definitely be back.
