★★★★★ — Reza, Dec 2025

We absolutely love Zen Dragons! The atmosphere is warm, supportive, and truly feels like a family. The senseis are amazing — patient, professional, and genuinely caring about each child’s growth and well-being. My child has been attending for almost a year, and we are very happy with the experience.

★★★★★ — Maria, Feb 2026

I’m an old guy so my Kenpo is not as physical as it used to be. We know that Kenpo is a meld of mind and body, so with the guidance of Sensei Brandon, I have been exploring the cerebral aspect of our art. Knowing the why and the intricacies of techniques and forms is just as stimulating as a group workout.

★★★★★ — Victor, Jan 2026

Excellent instructors and genuinely positive atmosphere all around. Our kids always look forward to their private as well as group lessons, esp. the sparing. They learn so much applicable self-defense skills. Highest respect to all the senseis. Their patience and passion in training these children are unmatched.

★★★★★ — Joy, Sep 2024

Your first BJJ class at Zen Dragon Martial Arts Mill Creek

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.
