“It's great that for older kids and adults, there is an opportunity to branch out to other disciplines such as BJJ and Muay Thai; something I may take them up on myself.”

From the reviews
Great place. My 5 year old goes here, and we both love it. Great instructors, excellent curriculum, and a nice facility. I appreciate the instructors teaching not only martial arts, but also work ethic, mental focus, attention to detail, and respect for instructors and students.
Master Sean and Master Becca make learning Jiu-jitsu fun for my son. He looks forward to each practice in a great atmosphere with instructors who care and want to see him succeed!
Great environment and caring instructors. All 3 of my kids have been going for few years now & love seeing their skills growing.
I've wanted to train in martial arts since I was a kid, and I finally have had the opportunity at Delaware Dragon. It would be hard for an experience to live up to expectations like that, but Delaware Dragon has exceeded them. The instructors are excellent; even guest instructors are top-notch.
New to kickboxing? Start at Delaware Dragon Martial Arts
Delaware Dragon Martial Arts 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at Delaware Dragon Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
