From the reviews

We joined DG Malvern in June of 2021, after moving to the area. Our son had never done martial arts -- or any sports. He has absolutely loved his class at DG, and we went from initially having him attend weekly on Saturdays, to 2-3 times per week.

My daughter Alvira, has been attending the dragon gym Malvern sessions almost 2 years now... started at Pee Wee 1 to Junior 1 now. She has improved a lot over her skills especially in terms of emotional balance and her confidence has increased and improved since she started the classes.

★★★★★ — Ashwinder, Apr 2026

I visited many gyms before finally deciding to join Dragon Gym, and am so glad I waited until I found this gym. The facilities are clean and well-kept, but most importantly the instructors are excellent.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Oct 2024

Started my son in Taekwondo here in DG’s Malvern location just 2 months after turning 4…I wasn’t sure how much he’d like it or not, but the only thing I regret is not starting him sooner. The classes are such a great mix of physical, mental, educational, and fun!

Your first BJJ class at Dragon Gym Malvern - TKD, BJJ, Muay Thai

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches 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 positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
