From the reviews
Dragon gym was by far the best decision I ever made for my daughter. I started her out young and they have truly turned her life for the better and I'm so thankful for Master Kim and Master Jake for all they have done. I would suggest every parent having troubles with there child this would be the place to go.
Love Dragon Gym! This is a very welcoming and supporting environment, I encourage anyone with interest in martial arts to give it a try. I especially appreciate how they structure the curriculum to make it consistent across the locations, and I LOVE that the location I primarily use has a dedicated women's locker…
Our family absolutely loves Dragon Gym! The kids Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu programs have been fantastic, helping build confidence, discipline, respect, and fitness in a fun and supportive environment. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about each child’s growth both on and off the mats.
The school and the staff are very honest and dedicated in bringing forth pure forms of martial arts. The teachers are sweet yet motivating to help anybody discover their better selves.
New to taekwondo? Start at Dragon Gym Martial Arts & Fitness
Dragon Gym Martial Arts & Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Dragon Gym Martial Arts & Fitness
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
