Red dragon karate La verne. Currently brown belt. This year 2026 I've improved my sparring. Thank you Shihan Sensei Chris Casamassa, Sensei Haley , Sensei Adam, Sensei Jonah & Sensei Jaylen! Currently practicing for 2nd class brown belt. Nervous even though I practice. I trained for my endurance also. Hoping to pass my 2nd class broken belt test. I'm almost there to black belt. read more

This review is strictly for the lady upfront who has NO customer service or does NOT return any phone calls or answers question's directly. Sensei Haley and the team are wonderful but dealing with the individual at front is challenging and we cringe every time we have to deal with her. Customer service is a lost art now a days and she is clearly reflective of this read more

Cancelled the membership for my two kids with 30 day notice. Was informed by Sensai Haley we needed to give them 90 day notice to stop the billing cycle. Our signed contract showed the contrary and only required 30 day notice. Red dragon has proceeded to bill my account for 5 months straight at $400/ month. Has not responded to multiple messages or emails. For a business that preaches integrity, I question the moral ethics of this company and hope no parent sends their child to this establishment. In addition to their crooked business ethics, the classes were lackluster, repetitive, uncoordinated from instructor to instructor. Save your money/ time ! You can get better, more quality training at a local city or YMCA for a fraction of the cost. read more

Both my daughter and son have been attending RDKLV for a few months and all the Sensei's have been fantastic to work with. The dojo instills technique and discipline in all that they teach, from their beginner classes to their sparring classes. I enjoy the fact that they include white belts to black belts in their classes (not sparring against each other of course) which enables my kids to see what they can become with effort and discipline. The teachers are fantastic, easy to communicate with, and have a noticeable desire to teach their students. read more

My son has been coming to this dojo for more than 3 years. It has boosted his self-confidence and self-esteem the instructors are very professional. Work well with the kids my son comes 3 to 4 times a week. I was a karate instructor myself, and I give them a thumbs up. read more

I highly recommend Red Dragon Karate in La Verne. My 4-year-old son has been attending for 3 months, and it has already made a huge difference in his confidence, physical skills, and emotional development. This dojo goes beyond teaching karate; it instills values like character, discipline, and teamwork in kids. Sensei Haley is incredible--my son admires her and eagerly looks forward to his karate classes each week. We are so grateful we found this place! read more

So far my kids especially my older daughter is loving it. Very motivational for behavior and school. Helps my kids focus and run off their after school energy. read more

My 4 year old Son has been attending Karate classes here for about 3 months now. Let me tell you he has gained confidence, strength and has made friends. Sensi Halle, Sensi Angel and Sensi Ron are great with my Son. They are patient, encouraging, and so fun to be around. They truly love what they do and it shows through their students. read more

SCAM ALERT. We signed for a $20 promotion that was advertised outside their store and stopped going after the second session as my husband didn't like the way the young staff yelled at the 4 yr old children. Next thing I know my card was charged $200 for a charge that I didn't authorize. I called Red Dragon to dispute the charge and the young staff indicated that he could credit me $20 based on their "cancellation fee". I requested a refund on the fraudulent charge and Kyle indicated that he would talk to his manager and get back to me. He added that I could come in and fill out some forms which I do not have time for. Be careful when you sign up for promotions. Apparently, they'll start charging your card hundreds of dollars even when you don't complete their promotion. read more

We had a party here for my 4 year old and I can't say enough amazing things about it!!! From the moment we pulled up, we had three come to our car to help us carry in everything we had. The place was decorated with a personalized banner... they handled every detail- the only thing to bring... the cake! I was nervous that it might be too old for 3 going on 4 year olds, but they manipulated the party to fit them perfectly. They had an obstacle course... dance party... races... limbo... and of course some karate! The brought all the gifts back to our car and offered to help with anything else. You just show up, have a great time and leave. It was awesome!!! read more

Red Dragon Karate La Verne - Master Yellow Belt testing - Martial Arts Near Me - La Verne, California

I really enjoyed the experience my son had at the dojo. The senseis were great and super motivational. My only issue with them is their OBSCENE cancellation policy!!! It was a stretch to pay high monthly dues and when we decided to place our son in a less expensive activity we were charged THREE months of fees! The girl at the front desk who explained the policy was extremely misleading, which led me to not fully understand. I never would have signed my child up knowing. It's really a shame that such an awesome business is willing put such a financial burden on families who choose to leave. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with a limited budget. read more

My son started at Red Dragon as a white belt almost 6 years ago. He is now a black belt and still loves karate and loves coming to Red Dragon. My son has built confidence and learned great communication skills, as well as made some great friends. Red Dragon is more than just a karate studio. You can also take their kick boxing classes, they have family events, and helpful seminars on various topics. I do kick boxing and it has kept me in great shape. So if you want a supportive place where the whole family can be involved, Red Dragon is the place. read more

My little one is in their dragon tail class and he loves it! Everyone there are so friendly and patient with kids. Not only do they teach the basic moves and the ideas of teamwork and discipline to our little ones; they also emphasize not to use the skills on family and play ground/school, how to scream to get help in danger situation. They teach kids to work for their rewards and to respect rules and their elders. They have a relationship with their students; I have witnessed the Sansei help them deal with little obstacles in their lifes such as fear when kids come in wanting to talk... read more

We love our Red dragon La Verne family members, we had so much fun ,event all together, kids love each other , can be better, safe friends then school . We join Competition together win the trophy together. We share the joy and happiness together. RDK class Senseis are super . Really help build my 2 girls up. They really care about my kids. Not just learning Red dragon karate ways. But care about their whole human being. Teach them how to treat others right. Care about their Academic report from their own school, Always giving rewards for being a good academic students. Celebrate their Birthday together, too. We goes to Red dragon Class Monday to Friday. And I truly care about what they learn in class. You will see me carring my phone taking photo and videos for them each class. And I save them and share them to my fb page. Why, because I value that learning. Hope my sharing benefit others too. read more

What a scam. Seriously. We were walking by one day and saw a flyer with a promotion on it. It was a set fee, and you were to receive the uniform and 5 lessons (I believe...somewhere around there - it's been a while back now, but I am only getting around to the review). So, I went in to inquire (I work far from home, so the hours I am in the area are a bit restrictive during the week) about the schedule. There were loads of time slots that we could do, so I signed up online and paid the money. What a mistake. Once I paid the money and went to schedule my son, I was told those classes weren't available to him; that he had to do two one-on-one classes before he could do the group classes. Of course the one-on-ones were all inconvenient hours, so it took about two weeks before someone could teach him on the weekend. He took one class (which was great), and when I asked for the uniform, I was told he would get it before he went to group class. Needless to say, we could never get around to scheduling the second one-on-one, and I eventually gave up. Should have just burned the money - it would have been more enjoyable. No uniform, no classes - NO VALUE. read more

Our daughter started about a half a year ago and it's been nothing but amazing. All the Sensei's are very nice and have so much patience. They implement positive behavior and good attitudes. Everyone from Sensei's to the wonderful ladies at the desk always have such positive attitudes and are extremely nice! The La Verne Dojo is our favorite!! read more

Red Dragon Karate is an amazing place with great staff and management, including owner Sensei Shane. The cardio kickboxing classes are also great for a fun and tough workout! Everyone I've been in contact with in the past few years has been professional, respectful, and hard-working. As someone who works within the education system, I recommend Red Dragon Karate to my students who would benefit from the discipline, focus, and confidence that RDK provides. read more

We love Red Dragon La Verne! My son has been a "Mini Dragon" for one year. It's been really awesome to see his transformation. He started out with the wiggles and had a hard time focusing. Now he is a Ninja and takes the discipline of karate very seriously! It's been really awesome to see his transformation. I love the character building, the team mentality taught and the positive atmosphere. Everywhere we go, he sees someone in a karate outfit and approaches them, like they are friends. It's like he is part of a club that makes him feel empowered and special. The instructors each have a special way of bringing different strengths out of the kids. Thank you Red Dragon! I read more

Tried a free class and now I'm hooked! I absolutely love the instructors. Super nice people and they push you to your limits while motivating you the entire time. Great place and awesome atmosphere! You must try this place!! read more

I am very happy that we settled on this studio. I was concerned about selecting a franchise like place, however I have been very impressed with the instructors ability to adapt their program to various ages. Kids are encouraged and disciplined. When I asked my 5 year old how was Karate, I was impressed by his answer.... "My focus is better, but I need to work on my kicks." What more can a Mom ask for. read more

One star because my husband and I were offered a free 1/2 hour class when we came in for information. We set up a day and time to meet, we're just walking out the door when the guy calls to cancel, with no offer to reschedule. The guy never called to reschedule but we are happy we didn't sign up with this place after further research we discovered that this place is a McDojo! No thanks!!! read more

We love the Red Dragon Experience. We have all of our children in the program. Sensei Matt, Haily & Shane are awesome!! It builds confidence, focus and comradority. read more

Good clean place. Awesome place for a kids party. They would earn a 4 star except the cancellation policy they will bill you for three months the full amount. No other place were I cancelled charged so much in advance. They claim it is a policy for your kid not to quit a bunch of bs. That is excessive it is more franchise greed. The owner needs a business class in ethics. read more

My son has been attending classes here for a year now. He loves it! The instructors are so amazing that I can't even say that we have a favorite. We love them all. I also love the family environment they provide and the extra activities they do with the kids and families. I would recommend Red Dragon La Verne highly!!! read more

Amazing!!!!! My son had been there for 6 years. Just a incredible way to get him focused and succeed in a independent sport.

Enrolling my son in Red Dragon has been one of the best decisions I have made for him. He typically struggles with self control and focus and since being enrolled I have already noticed a great improvement. He enjoys the class and the Senseis are all very patient and work so well with the kids. You couldn't find a better place to send your kids. I hope to keep him involved for as long as we possibly can. read more
