The Judokai is the Dallas Metroplex home for Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling – the way it ought to be. Training focuses on throwing / take-downs, grappling, submissions, and self-defense. Instructors are nationally certified with over 30 years of coaching experience and focus on the needs of each individual student.
Our Judokai Warriors are women, men, and children of all experience levels ranging in age from 6 and up. They have worked together to make The Judokai one of the largest and most popular Judo organizations in the DFW area.
Come train with the team that dominated the 2016 and 2018 AAU Freestyle Judo National Championships.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Submission Grappling, Sambo, and Mixed Martial Arts enthusiasts are encouraged to join.
No silly IJF rules. No outrageous BJJ prices. No magical “Ki”. No WWE. Just pure “old-school” Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling – all of it.
The Judokai believes in strong traditional fundamentals, but a modern safe interpretation of competition rules where there is no differentiation between Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Sambo, Pankration, etc. Certain training methods, names, and contest rules might vary by style and ethnic origins; Japanese, European, Brazilian, etc. However, good technique is good technique no matter what the origin.
That’s the way it ought to be

Black Belts and Coaches
The Judokai has the depth and experience that other schools strive to achieve. Our instructors are active local members who have literally “been there and done that” in Dallas since 1990. We don’t need to use anyone else’s name on our club logo or front door. No purple belts running this school. No black belts that can’t drive yet either.
