Reviews
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sun Dragon Martial Arts in Austin is an exceptional martial arts school that truly stands out. The comprehensive training they offer goes beyond just physical fitness; it encompasses mental and self-defense aspects for both adults and children. The instructors at Sun Dragon are highly skilled and passionate about imparting their knowledge. The classes strike a perfect balance between building physical strength and fostering mental discipline. The focus on self-defense is particularly valuable, providing practical skills that extend beyond the training mat. For children, Sun Dragon creates a positive and supportive environment, instilling important values like respect and discipline. The school's commitment to holistic development sets it apart, ensuring that students not only become proficient in martial arts but also grow as well-rounded individuals. The Austin facilities are well-maintained, and the class schedules are flexible, accommodating various lifestyles. Sun Dragon Martial Arts is more than just a place to learn kicks and punches; it's a community that nurtures personal growth, resilience, and confidence. I highly recommend Sun Dragon to anyone seeking a martial arts school that goes above and beyond expectations."
"Cannot say good enough things about Sun Dragon! It has been incredible for our nine-year-old daughter, who has been attending for several years now. It has helped her with both her physical and mental well-being. She loves the experience of improving her skills and ranking up in belt color. As parents, we love the supportive community that Sun Dragon nurtures. We're so appreciative of them! Come join us!"
"Sun Dragon has completely turned my life around. This is an excellent school for people who have always been curious about martial arts but afraid of the sports-like / combat school approach that many schools and films would have you believe is the norm. We're feminist, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and modify our practices to make sure they're safe and possible for everyone to train while still pushing to our limits. We also have scholarship programs, so anyone can train regardless of ability to pay. I've been training for four years and consider myself a lifer. Whether you're 4 or 84, there's a place for you at Sun Dragon."
"As a former student at the school, as well as a mom whose children still participate regularly in their self-defense courses and camps (sadly, we live too far away now to attend regular classes), I highly recommend Sun Dragon Martial Arts. The teaching is top-notch, the ethos of the school is welcoming and inclusive, and the approach is empowering. This is the type of place that changes lives -- I've seen it and experienced it firsthand. Sun Dragon is no McMartial Arts School -- it's a true community and an Austin original!"
"Sun Dragon Martial Arts and Self Defense, NFP, has made an incredible difference in my life. Even though I started as a adult, Sun Dragon helped me develop amazing discipline and self confidence. It's an incredibly welcoming environment, and even someone as balance-and-flexibility challenged as I am was able to find a martial arts home. The instructors are great and all have their own unique teaching styles. I really appreciate its social justice focus and I'm proud to train at a nonprofit school that offers scholarships so money will never keep someone from training."
