From the reviews
Our youngest started with Eric and he was so excited. He loves coming to class and coming home to show his skills. After watching the youngest, our oldest wanted to start class. Eric emphasized having confidence in yourself and showing his power. We also appreciate the fact the kids are learning basi. Korean.
Eric and everyone at Red Dragon have created a community. Not only for the kids and adults that take classes there, but for all of their families that are involved. Eric is firm, but fun and patient with the kids and meets every child where they are at while still pushing them forward towards their goals.
Master Eric is really good at what he teaches. My kids love the taekwondo classes and are always eager to learn new techniques. Master Eric takes his time to teach them and is always ready to help them. I am glad I picked Red Dragon Martial Arts for my kids. Thank you Master Eric for always encouraging the kids.
I highly recommend the Taekwondo class! Mr .Eric is not only skilled in teaching the art but also has a remarkable ability to connect with kids. He creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students, including those with autism.
New to muay thai? Start at Red Dragon Martial Arts Academy
Red Dragon Martial Arts Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Red Dragon Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
