From the reviews

I do my judo at Honor Martial Arts and it is a great place! Sensei Zach is not only super knowledgeable but highly professional! I like to compete in Jiu-Jitsu competitions and he has not only helped me improve my judo takedowns, but adapted the throws to what fits me better, based on what I bring to the table.

★★★★★ — Hugo, Apr 2021

Enrolled my kids at the beginning of last summer in the jujitsu here, they are patient with the children and take the time to make sure everyone is learning the moves for the day. Children enjoy it because they add games and fun activities that get them to exercise with out noticing.

★★★★★ — Fredrick, May 2023

This gym is amazing! From day one, I felt welcomed by everyone. It came highly recommended, and I’m so glad I listened. Dean and the black belt instructors are fantastic—knowledgeable, supportive, and great teachers. There’s no other place I’d rather train!

★★★★★ — Erik, Feb 2025

State of the art facility with raised spring loaded mats. The gym is always clean and orderly,which is a huge plus for BJJ and judo gyms. Professor Dean is a high level BJJ black belt, who provides a safe and respectful place for all.

New to judo? Start at Honor Martial Arts - Houston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Karate and Yoga.

Honor Martial Arts - Houston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Karate and Yoga. comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never stepped on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and sensei scale the intensity to you. Second, you'll start by learning to fall safely (ukemi) — reputable dojos build fundamentals (breakfalls, grips, a first throw and some groundwork) for weeks, live randori eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps everyone safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and remember to bow in and show respect (rei). Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first judo class at Honor Martial Arts - Houston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Karate and Yoga.

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.
