From the reviews
2026 Update... My son has been doing martial arts here for over 2 years now and still enjoys the classes, learning new skills and all the instructors. He also loves the extra events; such as beating up mom or dad for Mother's Day or Father's Day, which is just a fun way for moms or dads and their kids to hang out…
This place is awesome for kids that are looking to learn martial arts and basically improve self-confidence. Steve knows how to communicate well and teach kids how to be their best through small lectures and martial art training.
My kids are attending this school for the second year. They like going there 3-4 times a week for lessons and love occasional special events. We are happy with their advancement, with attentiveness of the staff. Definitely would recommend Dragonfly School to learn martial arts, discipline and to meet new friends.
Master Williams and his team are phenomenal, balancing the need for discipline and fun, learning and passion. Both my son and I could not more highly recommend DragonFly. It has been a joy to watch my son's confidence, respect, and physicality grow from the first session through the belts. Sign up today!
Your first Karate class at Dragonfly Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
