Dragon Phoenix

"Dragon Phoenix is an excellent martial arts school. Aaron, the owner, is passionate about his teaching and always striving to both embody and convey respect for the martial art of Tai Chi. His awareness, patience, dedication, and depth/breadth of knowledge are invaluable. The culture of Dragon Phoenix is inviting, non-judgmental, and inclusive. I have been a student of Chen-style Tai Chi at Dragon Phoenix for almost 5 months now. I had tried other schools of Kung Fu prior and felt a dissonance between respect for the lineage and what we were learning as they were showing up more as a "work out" class, which wasn't what I was personally looking for. I am always looking forward to class, knowing I will leave with more understanding of martial arts in the ways of martial application, form, history, and more! It's really humbling to see how the benefits of this cultivation are showing up in day-to-day life, both physically and mentally. Highly recommend!"

"Aaron is amazing. There are Kung Fu teachers out there who teach about fighting and protection, which magnetizes such experiences for those who are students of such thinking. Then there are those who teach the true art and nectar of Kung Fu, which is learning the wisdom of the body, earth and cosmos, life force energy. Aaron teaches from an authentic wisdom that guides children toward the importance of cultivating our inner nature. He's wonderful and highly recommend his studio."

"I highly recommend Dragon Phoenix. Mr. Dison is a superb teacher--he exudes this Zen vibe and is so patient and calm with the students. I'm quite impressed with all that my daughter learns and experiences there--they do a meditation, a short reading each session, and learn about a quality each class (such as perseverance, etc.), along with lots of time engaging in kung fu forms. My daughter has had an absolutely amazing experience there, and recently passed her Level 1 test and is now on her way to studying Tai Chi. She says she wants to be the youngest to go through all of the levels. :) If you're looking for a place in which your child will learn so much more than simply kung fu forms, I encourage you to enroll in Dragon Phoenix' classes."

"We love it here! So much so that we've made it a family affair. Both of my sons have taken classes and my husband began taking adult classes. Mr. Dison is a wonderful teacher who is passionate about his work and helping his students grow. He teaches so much more than just the forms. I know my son has grown in confidence, self esteem, cognitive skills, and physically from his classes. Give this school a try! Mrs. Dison is great too!"

"Dragon Phoenix Kung Fu is the best class I could have wished for, Mr. Dison never pushes us further than we can go and he's always got new things to teach us in his class. I would recommend his school to anyone wanting to learn Kung Fu, as it has always been a fun experience for me and my friends especially with its wonderful technique and lineage. He has never been rough or unfair, and helped me see the error in my ways as a teen with the values he teaches us; Humility, Respect, Righteousness, Trust, Loyalty, Will, Endurance, Perseverance, Patience, and Courage. I wouldn't believe he would turn anyone away unless he absolutely had to. In my class there have been many people with disabilities and he has always been patient with them. I have never known him to become frustrated with anyone either, even when they have lost their cool themselves. I hope anyone who joins Dragon Phoenix has as good an experience as I have. :)"
