A Family Run Dojo
We at Red Dragon Martial Arts try to live the philosophy of karatedo, and are determined to create a dojo (martial arts school) that truly expresses the essence of martial arts: honest, strong, forthright, and imbued with a strong spirit of compassion. That’s why Red Dragon Martial Arts is a family-run organization. Our mission at Red Dragon Martial Arts is to make a profound difference in the lives of the students we teach. By using martial arts as a vessel, we are dedicated to helping people of all ages build character, leadership skills, physical fitness, and mental focus & discipline. But most importantly, our dojo strives to help our students develop the awareness, confidence, and self-defense skills necessary to protect themselves and those they love from bullying, domestic abuse, and random acts of violence. Our Students The dojo (martial arts school) has a primary responsibility to teach and support our students in their life goals to “become better” -- and that includes supporting our students as they explore what “becoming better” means to them. As a dojo, we practice ren ma -- constant improvement -- and we want to make sure that we’re offering the best martial arts instruction we can provide at the lowest possible cost to you. Our business practices reflect our karate: honest, strong, forthright, and imbued with a strong spirit of compassion. That's why we do not require contracts from our students. Martial Arts is a life-long journey, and we look forward to helping you along your path, every step of the way; but we also realize that life throws challenges and unexpected surprises at us along the way, and we're here to help you with those as well. A Way of Life Being a family-run school is a part of our path in karatedo, and we are very proud of the choices that we’ve made to support that path. Martial arts is a way of life which stresses that people should live in peace and harmony. Martial arts philosophy emphasizes the essence of self-control, respect for others, and an ongoing journey to strive for the best in life. Perhaps most significant, is its emphasis on the fortification of the mind, body, and spirit. Its teachings emphasize that a true martial artist must become physically, mentally, and emotionally strong enough to take on life's challenges, and avoid violence, with a goal of creating a peaceful world. |
