From the reviews

My 3 children and husband attend Tong Dragon classes. The kids have progressed from the little dragon classes to the advanced classes and now bjj. The training has provided discipline, confidence and the martial arts skills necessary to defend themselves if necessary.

★★★★★ — Michele, Jan 2016

First, making the decision to train in the martial arts will change anyone’s life for the better, and there is nothing more important, especially for women and children, than learning self-defense and confidence.

★★★★★ — Jaccqueline, Jan 2016

Tong Dragon MMA has been an incredible experience for me. Since joining, I’ve lost weight and am arguably in the best physical condition of my life. The workouts here are more than enough that I don’t even need a separate gym membership anymore.

★★★★★ — Tyler, Mar 2026

We enrolled our son at Tong Dragon when he was 4 years old. Beginning in the Little Dragons class, and now having worked his way up to the Kids Advanced class, he has had an amazing experience throughout. Mr. Colon and his staff are engaging, patient, supportive, and fun with all of their students.

Your first muay thai class at Tong Dragon Mixed Martial Arts

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
