Choosing the Right School

Martial Arts schools each have a distinct style and feel.  This video takes a look as 10 of the most important factors to consider when choosing the right martial arts school for your family.

DID YOU KNOW?

One of the things that makes our school unique is that all of our Instructors are volunteers. This allows us to use proceeds from our programs to help victims of domestic violence and child abuse.

Every Instructor has completed the Instructor Training Program and is certified by our world headquarters in Korea. This means that our Instructors are not only the most qualified but they have big hearts too!

CORE VALUES

QUALITY

To provide the highest quality martial arts instruction.

CHARACTER

To empower our students with valuable skills for daily life

COMMUNITY

To contribute to a safe and peaceful community.

During our time in the leadership program, we have learned the true meaning of what it means to be a good leader. Being a leader is so much more than just telling others what to do. It’s about leading others to make the right choices in their lives. It is also about helping them grow to be the best versions of themselves. In this program, we have learned that not every day’s the same day. Some days will be challenging in others will be less challenging. Although we have these challenges at the end of the day the best reward is when a student comes to us to tell us that they are grateful for us. To know that we can Inspire young minds means a lot to us because we are hoping that they will keep true to the path of happiness and success in the future. This concludes our brief reflection on leadership.

Our family had been looking for a martial arts school for a while, so when our school decided that our youngest son needed more structure (and we decided that our oldest needed some self-defense training), I really started looking.  American Dragon Martial Arts was close to us, and we took the boys for a trial class.

They loved it!  We loved it!  The other students were kind and patient, especially with my son on the Autism spectrum. The instructors were knowledgeable and made the class both fun and educational.  We loved that the emphasis was on character development and not on churning through ranks and competition.  We appreciated how calmly the instructors led the class and made corrections.

We loved it so much that the entire family ended up enrolling, and now my husband and I are in the Instructor Training program.  We have the opportunity to help with the classes for the younger students, as well as to train in our own program in the evening.

The Masters and other students have become some of our best friends, and we are so thankful to have found our martial arts home.
