From the reviews
Very good place to train at any skill level, from basic level fitness all the way to wanting to become a world class athlete. This facility has fitness professionals as well as MMA fighters under one roof, I would highly recommend this World Class training facility to anyone who wants to learn about fitness or Martial…
I've been coming here for the last 9 years and I live in Pittsburg, CA there is no Martial arts school like it. Zhong Lou our Sifu is the best teacher and coach there is.
Best MMA gym in the Bay Area without question. Walked into the school with hardly any training and told Zhong I wanted to compete some day. 8+ years at Dragon House and now I'm a pro MMA fighter. I have met so many people at DH that are my family now because that's the type of community Zhong fosters here.

New to kickboxing? Start at Dragon House
Dragon House 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 Dragon House
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.
