🎉 Texas, we love you! 🎉

Can you believe it? This month marks 6 years since we made the move to the Lone Star State, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this amazing community.

Our martial arts journey started in 2004, took us through 15 years of teaching in Nevada, and even included a brief stint building a dojo in Central America. By May 2020, we felt a calling to plant our roots right here in Liberty Hill, Texas, and in February 2021, we officially opened our doors! (Right before the Ice-pocalypse! #IYKYK)

We’ve evolved a lot since then! To give you the absolute best training experience, we intentionally separated our passions into two highly specialized, distinct tracks:

  • Shin Gan Dojo: Dedicated entirely to traditional Japanese martial arts. We focus heavily on the practical use of these proven techniques, fully embodying our philosophy of Traditional Roots. Modern Readiness.
  • Urban Defense Academy: Exclusively focused on top-tier firearms training, crisis management, and building the mindset to protect what matters most.

At the end of the day, we do this because we believe in freedom, safety, and your innate right to protect your loved ones. We aren’t just passing down a lineage; we’re offering peace of mind.

Thank you, Texas, for welcoming us with open arms. Here’s to many more years of training, empowering, and keeping our community safe! 🦅🇺🇸

Proudly serving our community of Liberty Hill, Texas, and surrounding areas of Bertram, Burnet, Leander, Georgetown, and Florence, TX.
