Red Dragon Self Defense USA

We first learned about Red Dragon Karate in La Verne thanks to a birthday party our little now-master yellow belt got invited to. He already was super into martial arts (inspired by Ninjago), so this was right up his alley. The party - led by Sensei Matt - was super fun and interactive for the kiddos, and our little ninja was hooked. We signed up for the free private lessons about a week after the party, and now we make the dojo part of our weekly routine. In addition to teaching the kiddos valuable skills of karate, the dojo also stresses how they should also strive to be the best human being they can be. Keep it up, RDK!

Red Dragon La Verne is awesome. Sensei Haley has helped me so much. Sensei Shane and Sensei Matt have taught my son a lot. They make learning so fun. We love RDK La Verne!

RDK is an amazing system! RDK La Verne has been a wonderful place for my son to train. We have been a part of the RDK family for about 7 years and have been very impressed with the curriculum and positive atmosphere. For children especially, RDK focuses not just on the physical training but also positive character development and promotes academic success. And even big kids can benefit from the training; I most certainly did!

I did my research before we signed up my son. There are people criticized the instructors here are all high school kids. Well, while this statement is not accurate; we do love that fact that their instructors here are all younger people! They are the best role modal for my child. Yes! even the owner here is the youngest owner of RDK! We have these very respectful, well disciplined, successful young people to be instructors. My kid admires them dearly; they are the best mentors, live testimony of big dreams reached at young age! Not only do they know their crafts, they are very experienced teachers. Kids not only do what their instructor told them in the dojo, they also practice the ethic they teach at home and school. RDK La Verne can transform kids into much more well behave, discipline and responsible children. We have been with this martial art school since my son is 4; he is going to be 7 soon and so proud to be part of the RDK team!

My son Matthew came to us several years ago and asked to take karate. We search several Dojos and decided to try Red Dragon. Matthew got his black belt but it wasnt easy. He almost quit several times but Shehan Chris wouldnt let him. He encouraged Matthew to succeed. Matthew is now a second degree black belt (studying for his third degree) and he has fallen completely in love with karate at Red Dragon. So much so that he teaches at the La Verne Dojo. Red Dragon gave Mathew the confidence and courage to continue and succeed. Thank you Red Dragon for touching his life and encouraging him to be a winner!

The RDK experience has been great for our children!! It has taught them to focus, listen, discipline and how to be better over all people.
