When Mia first stepped onto the tatami mats, she was nervous. A friend from Clear Lake had told her about Yaeger Self Defense of America’s Judo classes in Webster, TX. That afternoon she learned how to fall safely, make new friends, and roll into a throw. By the end of class she smiled, knowing she had found a place to learn safe moves and boost her confidence.

Common Questions Answered

Do I need to be in shape before starting?

No. You do not need special skills or fitness to begin. You learn moves at your own pace. Instructors help you grow stronger each week.

Is Judo safe for kids?

Yes. Kids learn to fall and roll before any throw. The lesson plan focuses on safety and anti-bullying skills. We also teach assertive words and calm ways to stop a bully.

Can I join as an adult?

We welcome adults at every skill level. Some people come to learn real self-defense. Others join to get fit or make new friends. Instructors guide you in each move, step by step.

How Judo Helps with Bullying

Every student joins our Break Free From Bullying program. You learn assertive words to speak up. You also role-play real situations so you feel ready to stand tall. Partners and small groups act out scenes where one person practices calm steps to stop a bully. This builds real-world skills and makes school or work feel safer.
