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

We absolutely love it here. The instructors are extremely helpful and skilled and the owner is a Saint. Just the nicest guy. It's a very well trained and good energy environment.

★★★★★ — Faith, Feb 2023

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

Your first kickboxing class at Tong Dragon Mixed 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, 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.
