At Dragon's Lair you don't have to spend years training to finally be able to defend yourself or be able to do something. For example there are NO forms (kata or poomsae) or unnecessary terminology or techniques to be learnt at our gym, only the essentials, which are presented in a clear and well defined manner that anyone regardless of fitness level and learning ability, can easily attain.
At Dragon's Lair we believe that the Performance and Individuality of our Students is more important than the Ego of instructors and coaches who believe they are more important than you, the student. We see our students as a part of a family, our family. We encourage our students to train hard, set and achieve realistic goals and to reach their full potential. Each student is trained as an individual and we shy away from training our students as a part of a mainstream Martial Art or Karate where all the students are treated and coached the same. We understand that everybody is different; we all train and learn differently. And you have to be coached in that fashion. We create a training environment that produces optimal growth and development, not just physically but mentally too. We are always improving on our coaching methods to stay in front of the pack and to give you the best training possible.
