Sorry to hear about Shihan Hartzog. I'll have to pay him a visit before he leaves. Osu!

i tried google maps and i only found 1 place in houston that teaches kyokushin its called:Kyokushin Karate & Condition

im also looking for a dojo, though i would rather be training more...authentically, i dont like americanized martial arts

[Shokei Marcsui]

there is on on the north side of town. I-45 and Rankin.

you won't get any more "authentic" than that in Houston.

Sensei James Fields: JUKU KAN KYOKUSHIN KARATE*-*Locations

Tell Sensei Fields what you are looking for and he will be happy to oblige i'm sure. They are affiliated with IKO4 - Tezuka Group. Good luck.

Hi i just came across this site in search for Shotokan here in Houston, tx.
The only other lead i have come across is that someone by the name of Shadi Barazi is teaching Shotokan at Trotter Family YMCA 1331 Augusta Dr Houston, Tx 77057 713-781-1061.

On the YMCA website Barazi Sensei's number is (832)766-6564

I have called and spoke to someone from the dojo about a year ago but since then i lost contact; the numbers were no longer in service. I would give it a try. I think i will in the morning!

IMHO:

Sensei Deddy Mansyur teaching out of the University of Houston and his Private dojo at his home is a great Shotokan dojo in Houston.

His philosophy is 365/24/7. He teaches all days, at any time. Works around your schedule. I've trained with him at 6:00am somedays and midnight on others due to hectic work and school schedules. Class can be private or group.

Most people will probably assume (like I did) that the cost for private lessons are quite high. In terms of cost in comparison to what most other dojos charge it's priceless. It's not much more than what I was paying for at my old dojo and for the amount of quality one on one training you receive it is definitely worth it.
