From the reviews

I cannot say enough about Holy Ground. Finding it was answered prayer. They teach MMA in such a way that my sons know their instructors really care about them. Believe me that really impacts their lives! They teach the Bible and even give their students a chance to teach and serve in the community.

★★★★★ — Caleb, Oct 2025

My son had a free class last night, and absolutely loved it. Holy Ground is amazing and the fact that the main focus is on Jesus is even better. I highly recommend Holy Ground!

Your first judo class at HOLY GROUND KICKBOXING, JUDO & MMA FOR CHRIST

Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Judo is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your sensei, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
