From the reviews
Whatever force of Heaven that has led the string of fate to the martial arts nirvana that is White Dragon’s MMA has surely had a good thing blessed upon them. The minute I clamped my foot into the wooden tiles of Room 350, I knew that this place was the one for me.

My son started with Sensei Masters last March and has been growing with his training at the dojo together with Senpai Delilah and others. Sensei is very experienced (read: World Martial Arts Champion) and is also enthusiastic at coaching his students. Martial arts, in all forms, demands discipline and hard work.
Basil The White Dragon Masters is probably the most badass fighter in the world! Seriously I have been following his fighting career since he was 16 years old! I learned from him at his seminar he conducted in England last year! This guy is an excellent fighter and teacher! I wish I lived in THE U.S!
New to muay thai? Start at White Dragon’s MMA
White Dragon’s MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 White Dragon’s MMA
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.
