It’s Best of Liberty Hill time again! 🏆 (link below!)

Over the past four years, this community has shown up for us in ways that blow us away, voting us into the top spots for Best Martial Arts in Liberty Hill:

• 2022: Runner Up (Best Martial Arts)
• 2023 & 2024: Winner (Best Martial Arts)
• 2025: Runner Up (Best Martial Arts)

While titles are an incredible honor, the real impact behind them means so much more. Every nomination and vote helps more families, adults, and youth in our community find us, trust our training, and know there’s a dedicated place to build confidence, real life self-defense skills, and personal strength.

When we launched Shin Gan Dojo and Urban Defense Academy, our goal was simple: build a grounded, welcoming space where people could walk in, grow stronger, and learn to protect what matters most. Knowing our work in the dojo makes a difference for you and your families means the world to our team.

And now, 2026 nominations are officially open!

If our instructors or programs have made an impact on you or someone you love, we’d be so grateful for your nomination under Best Martial Arts.

And while you’re in there, you’ll also find categories for Best Business and Best Coach—nominations for those would mean the world to us too!

Once nominations wrap, voting opens up next, so we’ll be back to remind you to cast your official ballot then.

Thank you, Liberty Hill, for trusting us with your growth, your discipline, and your safety. Serving this community every day is something we never take for granted.

Go nominate all your local favorites! 📲👇
