I am 77 years old and have 10 years of experience in Shotokan Karate and took my Black Belt when I was 50. After a 27 year absence from training I joined the Blue Dragon class as a way of toning old muscles and as an aid to weight control, but what I found was totally different. I cannot begin to list all of the "new" techniques I am learning to add to my Karate arsenal - footwork, boxing and punching techniques, kicking techniques, forearm techniques, and lots and lots of defense techniques to name but a few. For anyone, all ages and genders, if you are looking for a place to really, really learn Martial Arts - well, in my opinion this is the place. And it is the place for the kids too for focus, discipline, and overall social skills.

We have been with BDMA for over 3 years and I can not say enough nice things about them. Master Tony and the other instructors are amazing with the kids at every level of training both in Taekwondo and Jujitsu. The instructors are firm, but patient and make sure that each student feels successful during every class. Great place for kids and adults to take classes at any level.

Blue Dragon is amazing thanks to Sensei Daniel. My kids aren't, as they say... Focused at the best of times, let alone after a long day at school. We signed up after talking to the owner about our concerns. We got uniforms and Gloves for taekwondo (jiu jitsu uniforms are separate, but not needed to start) and started showing up. The first couple classes were pretty rough, but every day they are reminded to show respect and they are slowly getting it. That's not to say they don't have rough days and have to do a lot of pushups and occasionally have to take some time outs, but thanks to Sensei Daniel's patience and consistency, I'm seeing steady improvements. It's a flat rate for however many taekwondo and jiujitsu classes you want to take a week. We end up going to 3-4 classes a week. The kids are having a great time, becoming more confident in their skills and learning a great deal. I love the focus Blue Dragon has on respect and am looking forward to seeing where this experience takes us. Edit: Feb 2023 My both kids earned their yellow belts in Taekwondo. They both were doing great behavior wise and making good progress. My daughter decided to take up dance instead and my son decided to focus on jiu jitsu. The uniform isn't cheap but no change to monthly fees so it's nice they can take whatever classes they like. Jiu jitsu requires another level of control that my son hasn't had previously. He continues to grow under the guidance of the coaches and I couldn't be happier with his progress. Mistakes and temper flares are handled in stride with clear training and strong discipline. They teach their students to win(and lose) respectfully and with sportsmanship. I'm particularly impressed with the focus on teaching hurt vs. injury. Jiu jitsu is a contact sport and bumps and bruises happen. I have watched my kid go from being a puddle when bumped to rolling out of what looked like a pretty bad fall and getting position before his opponent recovers. There is an emphasis on safety, both in terms of when you have the upper hand or not. Don't hurt your opponent, and tap out before you let someone hurt you. Most importantly, my son leaves class every time happy, excited to go back and a little bit better than he was when he went into class.

Blue dragon is great! I can’t say enough good things about the instructors! They are very kind and explain each technique so well that it is easy to understand. And the price??? You just can’t beat it!

My kids love this place and have really thrived since starting in mid-February. We have tried a few other martial arts places, but it wasn't until we finally gave Blue Dragon a try did they really take to it. Before we signed up here and I told my boys I was going to sign them up for martial arts again and they said they only wanted to go once or twice a week. After starting, there is hardly a week that goes by that we're not there at least four times a week. All the instructors are great and we appreciate the values instilled along with the training and fun the kids get to experience. Definitely recommend.

My daughter who is 6 has been with Blue dragons for over 1 year now and my son who is 15 has been with them for 9 months. They both enjoy attending their classes on a daily basis and try not to miss classes. The instructors are wonderful. They know how to interact with all different age groups. We love coming here. The facility's are always clean and instructors are friendly. I recommend Blue Dragons to all my friends and people I may have conversations with about martial arts.

My son has been studying at Blue Dragon since he was 4 years old and he's not going on 10 years old. He is a Red /black stripe belt and he is now getting ready to test for his junior Black belt . He loves every min ! Sensei Daniel is an awesome instructor, very patient and throughout with all the students. He makes sure they are absolutely ready to test for their next belt before the day comes. I would recommend this dojo if you are looking to teach your child self discipline and respect. They are huge on respect towards everyone and being an example in every way .

Ok where do I start, over 4 years ago my son was 8 years old and decided to quite football and wanted to try the sport of Karate. Here we are now going in to the 5th year and he is still with the program, hoping to gain the rank of Black belt in the future. Keep in mind that this is not a seasonable sport so I personally was amazed that he had suck with the program this long and I am proud of him. I feel that the main reasons that Bluedragon's studio seems to be focus on youth programs and development. The Staff are excellent trained and have a wide variety of skills. The programs not only has helped my son develop his MMA skill level but more import to me is his mental and maturity level. Sensei Tony's program requires that his students not only grow in the martial arts program but also requires to maintain good academics at school. I feel Bluedragon training is the real deal and prepares kids and individual for the real world. This is a great studio in my mind, for Adults and Youth. This is ideal for my son, but it is a program that I feel will benefit him in the long term. However, it does takes commitment from me and my son to participate, but well worth it.

As an experienced martial artist myself, I was looking for a quality academy for myself and my two kids in the Chula Vista area. I checked out about 5 other schools in the area. After doing much research, Blue Dragon's was hands down the most qualified and offer the best "BANG FOR THE BUCK". My kids and I love it there. I highly recommend Blue Dragon's to others who are seeking a top of line program for their kids or themselves. Some friends of ours had attended another local studio and was paying twice as much as us and not receiving the quality of instructions that Blue Dragon offers. They are now at Blue Dragon's. This Place Rocks!

My kid and I go here to train. It builds her confidence and social skills. They offer striking, weapons training and jiujitsu for kids and adults. This place is all in one and affordable compared to other places.

My daughter absolutely LOVED every day she trained at Blue Dragons! She is just four years old and was only able to train for a few months before we moved, but she still talks about martial arts almost daily and has insisted we find a place to continue training near our new house! Thank you, Blue Dragons, for being an excellent introduction to martial arts for my daughter!
