My son has been going here for just about a year now and it has been great for him. He is interested, challenged learning, and focused. The school boosts his confidence, builds his skills, form, and technique. Everyone is kind, curteous, and professional. I am so pleased my son is dedicated and excited to learn and be challenged!

Great, and I mean great place!!! My kids love learning. Their private instructor is Ms. Guzman but honestly they all do great work. Building self confidence in children is not easy and they do this and more. When we signed up they did a test to see how our children performed and to see which instructor would suit best for them. Wouldnt go anywhere else. Thank you White Dragon!!!!

My son loves this place! They teach kids discipline in a positive, reassuring environment. He gets bored quickly and is usually ready to move on to whatever is newest. White Dragon in Chula Vista is an exception. Hes been coming here since he was five. His goal is to earn his black sash. The school has private lessons and group classes by age groups. This place is great! As a parent, I highly recommend this for kids.

My son has been going for 6 months and he loves it. Great place for kids to build self confidence and discipline. Great atmosphere, friendly instructors and clean facility. My son really enjoys his one on one class. Mr. Guevara keeps me up to date with what my son is learning. We are really glad to be a part of this team.

My son absolutely loves this place! They have the best instructors. My son went from a shy kid to a confident kid in a matter of months. It has helped him focus in school and other activities. We initially chose this school because of the private lessons they offer but we ended up staying because of the great people that work there.

Fantastic atmosphere and teaching by the instructors; I would encourage anyone who wants to develop self confidence and self defence skills to come here first. The workouts will leave you tired but with a sensation of accomplishment as they are far from easy. That being said, the private lessons also help you train personally with your instructor, and are just as rigorous and intensive. Prepare to be in the best shape of your life!!

Great Service, friendly instructors and clean facilities. The Tai Chi lessons really helped me recover after knee surgery, it helped me get movement and strength back in my leg. Its also a great way to let out some steam after a stressful day at work, while also learning great self defense techniques. The instructors are very friendly and patient, they will work step by step with you while you learn and perfect your form. Overall its a great place to get a great workout while learning something that could one day safe your life.

Love martial arts for my son. He is very happy and getting ready for his brown sash!!!! Couldn’t pick a better hobby for him. So happy he learns a positive discipline making it easy to me to parent him when he is getting frustrated.

I absolutely love coming here. Everyone makes you feel included. Not only do I get a great workout in the group classes and one on one private lessons, but the instructors explain everything you learn in so much detail, you understand what youre doing and why youre doing it.I was never really into physical activity before coming here, but with the help from the instructors and other students, Ive pushed myself past the limits of what I thought I could never accomplish. So much so that by the time Ive reached my next sash I feel like Ive earned it, rather than just been given one like some other schools, and I thank them so much for that.

Review №14

My son has been going here for a little over a year. When he first started he was very shy in public and refused to participate school performances. By the mid year he has much more confidence and even did the martial arts tournament. It keeps him active as well as gives him skills that will allow him to defend himself if the need ever arises.

Great Instructors and training atmosphere for my daughter. I especially enjoy how they ensure each child is properly released to their parents after each training session and not allowed to wonder outside on their own. Thank you White Dragon!!!

Great place! I love how you get to work one on one with an instructor and you go at your own pace. Its great how they offer combative classes and it allows you to see how it can be applied to a real life self defense situation.

Going on 4 months now, and I am in heaven. tàijíquán, Yang Style is my art! The instructors are top notch. Plenty of class time and the private lessons are key to a students success. If you desire your martial art with a syllabus and excellently trained instructors ( who are ever learning themselves) then make an appointment with the White Dragon Martial Arts School.

Perfect place to learn discipline along with humility and improve on your strength. If it wasnt for White Dragon I would probably be going down a different path in my life that would have not been suitable for me. Through the ttraining and the guidance of my instructor I have learned how to better myself but, also, am in good physical shape, better than I ever was in high school. Its such a friendly environment to train in. The instructors are great and so patient with the students and when things get tough they always try to find a better way to help the students learn. Definitely would recommend to anyone that wants to better their physical and mental strength along with their lives.

In 2013, at the age of 73, I was temporarily in a wheelchair for severe back problems . I went to a physical therapist for 6 weeks who recommended I try TaiChi as an alternative form of therapy. I have been a student at white dragon chula vista for 3 years. All of the instructors are outstanding and are able to adapt the training to fit a persons age and physical condition. There has been a major improvement in my core and leg strength, back flexibility, balance and overall physical health. It is with great pleasure that I give the school a 5 star recommendation. I will continue to be a student as long as I possibly can.

Review №34

When I was first looking for a martial arts school in San Diego there was 3 things I looked for. Value distance to my house and if I could actually learn this. I came across this school. I was invited for a week. Not just for a group class but 2 private lessons. The first day I was expecting just a tour, but no we got straight to business. I was empressed with how much the instructors genuenly enjoy their job and how much they motivate the students. The fact that you can also learn not just Kung Fu but Kickboxing, jujitsu, and ti chi all in the same building is awesome. You can also attend classes at their other schools making this even more convenient. I can actually say I enjoy coming here.

Review №35

I came to White Dragon Martial Arts and explained that I was interested in learning a martial art, but didnt know how to take the first step towards achieving that goal. Sifu Padilla has since guided me towards learning Choy Li Fut and participating in self-defense, grappling and sparring classes. I couldnt have made a better choice than picking White Dragon Martial Arts as my school, they are extremely beginner friendly, and work with you as a team to reach your goals.

Cannot say enough good things about this school. I have tried many other forms of martial arts but was amazed that I could do traditional Kung Fu as well as kickboxing, grappling and mma!

Review №57

I initially joined up with the school along with my daughter. We chose this location because its so close to our house. I was hesitant to join a chain of schools because I have had bad experiences in the past, but Im very glad that we signed up. White Dragon of Chula Vista does a very good job teaching in a group format as well as individually. All of their instructors are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The sifus in charge of this location are very involved, approachable, and dedicated to improving their students. They take the time to work with individuals, even if that student isnt one that they normally teach in private lessons. I study tai chi only, but from what I see of the kung fu classes, the students get a lot out of their time there. If you were interested in learning Chinese martial arts, I highly recommend giving this school a chance.

Review №59

Its super awesome😁❤❤❤ it use to be hard for me to relate with others, saying that they loved the sport they were in. Wether it be soccer, swimming, running, etc. I never really thought I fit in 😞 and nor did I felt that the teams I would be in were considered my family as many say. Not until I was 10 and was inspire by kung fu panda (may seem like a dumb reason, I know😂) but I just needed something that was gonna make me feel better about myself, so I entered white dragon martial arts.Now I can say I am fully confident about myself 😁, but that wouldnt have been possible without the help of my teacher, the instructors, and specially the friends I had made there who always pushed me to be better every day, thank you 😊💖

Review №66

When I signed up at White Dragon, I knew I wanted to learn more about tai chi. I also wanted to be challenged physically and mentally. I wanted to do something to balance my regular workouts, but still have a workout that I can do regularly as I get older. That was 5.5 years ago and I met these goals.What I really didnt expect during those 5.5 years is what White Dragon offers as an organization. I found a sense of community. I feel this not only at the CV location, but also when I visit the other locations. The Sifus and instructors truly care for their students and want them to do their best. I see this everytime I observe the staff conducting classes and private lessons. I see this when I am greeted with a pleasant hello, or when I am given encouraging words by my private instructor.The White Dragon staff lives and breathes the organizations core values - Martial Ability, Martial Spirit, Respect, Responsibility, Health, Humility, Discipline, and Positive Attitude. It is no wonder that White Dragon has thrived for over 31 years.Now, I know signing up at White Dragon might not be for everyone, but if you want a challenge and want to learn tai chi, White Dragon is the place.

I signed up for the free trial lessons here on the recommendation of a coworker this April. Martial arts and combat were always subjects that had interested me, but that I had never been able to imagine myself doing. I signed up for a membership anyway. Its been one of the best decisions Ive ever made.White Dragon has a well-rounded curriculum: group classes for keeping basic skills sharp, kickboxing, weapons, grappling, tai chi. In addition to physical skills, the history, application, and ability to assess situations are always part of the lessons. I never feel like Im just mechanically doing something because an instructor said to, or because it just looks cool (though of course it still does). Theres meaning behind everything, which makes doing it more worthwhile. At least for me.What really sets the school apart, though, is the attitude and approach they take. No matter how crazy-busy instructors are, theyre always willing to work with you and help out, not to mention amazingly patient. I havent encountered many places with the level of positivity White Dragon radiates. Nobody puts on airs just because they know martial arts. Students and instructors alike encourage and assist. Its the kind of atmosphere that nurtures learning, growth, and the better aspects of human nature in general. Which means a lot when youre a gangly, nerdy, awkward person like me. I find myself doing things I never thought I could, both in kung fu and life.And thats worth a lot more than a simple five stars.

Review №73

This is why I joined:1) Its close by. Thanks to Master Fisher for pushing 2 awesome Sifus to open this place up. Last thing I want to do after a long day is fight traffic AGAIN to do something I enjoy.2) Its an art form. A deadly art form. Sure, MMA is all the rage right now, but, its still sport. I wanted to learn self-defense, forms, weapons and how to use them.3) Theyre open 6 days a week. Come for all the classes you want. Stop by to practice anytime - inside or outside behind the school.4) The instructors. They will coach, mentor, train and exhort you to get better.5) The instructors will meet you where youre at - skill wise. If you have difficulty, they will break moves down so its easier and go over it until you understand. And theyre always available to answer your questions.6) Private lessons. Depending on what you sign up for, you can get a private lesson every week. This is where the real training happens. Unlike most other schools, you test for a belt when youre ready; theres no minimum number of classes to attend.7) Theres a verifiable lineage you can trace back to the founder of the system. Its not a strip mall ninja program or a Rex Kwon Do place. (despite being physically located in a strip mall.) AND you can work DIRECTLY WITH the systems Grandmaster every year learning forms that arent available in your regular curriculum.8) I can go to any White Dragon school in San Diego and Temecula. No extra cost, no extra mat fees.9) I get to learn traditional Kung Fu, grappling, sparring (weapon and regular) and weapon technique classes.10) I have the option of attending any of the Tai Chi classes.Why you should join:1) The instructors work around YOUR schedule for private lessons.2) Its affordable - according to what you want. Do either Kung fu or tai chi. Or do them both! Sign up for special memberships that will help you to quickly advance. its up to you. The school is flexible with payment plans.3) The positive atmosphere.

This place is my second home. Ive been coming here for about 4 and a half years now and I love it so much. I have participated in many different sports since the age of 4, but none of them had me hooked. But when I started here at the age of 11, I knew that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Kung Fu is my passion. It has improved me as a person and my life in general. I have made so many friends here, and everyone at White Dragon is like a family. The Sifus are always there to not only help improve your training, but also to make sure you have fun doing it; they are truly inspiring people. The instructors are super nice, helpful, and they all really care about every one of their students. And the students are all really supportive and will always be there for you. I can almost guarantee that anyone, at any age, who signs up for Kung Fu will fall in love with it, just as I did.

Ive been doing kung-fu at white dragon chula vista for almost 4 years and i have a deep passion for it. my kung-fu journey started when i was 4 years old at white dragon clairemont and after moving i took a 4 year break and started at white dragon chula vista. as i didnt remember anything, i was basically a white sash wearing a blue sash with three stripes. as i was embarrassed, i was persistent and practiced and practiced. i soon caught up, tested for purple, and now i am soon testing for my brown. i love kung-fu, mainly sparring, and have used my endurance i gained for sports at school too. without white dragon, i think id be one of the really stressed out kids in high school. i let out all my anger and stress whenever i go there and i absolutely adore my teacher. hi ms. guzman :) anyway, if you are thinking about joining white dragon martial arts, do it. youll meet friends, relax, and gain health and discipline. theres something for everyone so come in and find your new favorite hobby :)
