At Return of the Dragon, we blend the rich history of kickboxing with a modern, inclusive training approach. From beginner to competitive levels, our programs emphasize discipline, respect, and personal empowerment — cultivating self-esteem and mental resilience through every punch, kick, and drill.

Beginner Co-ed Kickboxing (Ages 14+)

No experience? No problem. Our beginner co-ed kickboxing class is the perfect starting point for anyone 14 and older. We kick things off with a rigorous warm-up and full-body stretch to prep your body and mind. Beginners work one-on-one with coaches to learn the fundamentals of kickboxing, while returning students practice drills to boost speed, power, and endurance. This is more than a workout—it’s a journey into discipline, self-confidence, and inner strength. Respect, control, and perseverance are at the heart of every session.

Advanced Kickboxing:

For students who have completed our athlete level, this class begins the exciting transition into sparring. Here, you’ll learn how to defend, counter, and score like a true fighter. Students must purchase sparring gear and train with greater intensity. This class is where martial artists step into their own, gaining self-discipline, tactical awareness, and emotional control. Through the ancient spirit of combat, students build the confidence to face all of life’s battles.

Competitive Kickboxing:

This program is for those who’ve passed their fighter-level grading and are ready to train for full-contact competition. These warriors train hard—from 7 to 10 PM—with intense conditioning, sparring, and leadership responsibilities, often teaching newer students. With over two years of experience under their belts, they are examples of determination and discipline. The competitive kickboxing class is a proving ground for strength, courage, and respect, forging inner peace through hard work and service to others.

Family Kickboxing

Come one, come all! Every Saturday from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, our family kickboxing class brings together mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, siblings, and friends. With a flexible, fun structure, families partner up to learn kickboxing techniques and control drills. It’s a fantastic way to bond, break a sweat, and build confidence together.
