From the reviews
I signed up my 5 year old after careful consideration of all the choices in town. We selected Red Dragon Martial Arts because of the instructors educational background, the cleanliness of the facility, class hour availability and the discipline required of students.
Great martial arts school! Our daughter has been enrolled here for a little over a year and it has been really good for her. The structure of the class is excellent with enough fun mixed in to keep the kids interested. Our daughter looks forward to class and is learning fundamentals she can use for her whole life.
Both my kids are enrolled in classes and they love them. My son has been training there for 2 1/2 years in total and watching his confidence sky rocket has been an amazing experience for me as a parent. The classes are great for discipline, focus, and a great form of exercise.
I went in as a visitor for a Saturday open mat (no-gi) but when I reached out to Dustin (not sure if he's the owner or not) I made him aware that I mainly only train in the GI and would like to get some rolls in and he brought his go to help me out while I was on vacation to get some GI rounds in!
Your first BJJ class at Red Dragon Martial Arts & BJJ Center
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.
