Eastside Dojo in Plano has an excellent Judo facility accompanied by great coaches and a very welcoming family environment. They have Judo for all ages & sizes. This is where Champions are made.
Had my first day, really was a great learning experience! Josh does a fantastic job explaining the fundamentals and building on them with new techniques to apply. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to continue!
This is an awesome dojo, best coaches ever, friendship and dedication all the time!
I would recommend Eastside Dojo 1000x over, try them out, they are simply amazing!
