About Us

Silver Dragon Martial Arts is a Family Oriented Traditional Style Mixed Martial Arts school, but not an "MMA Gym". By this we mean that we teach a variety of martial arts, but our focus is on self defense and self development rather than sport competition.  This doesn't mean that what we teach can't be used in competition however, and if a student is interested in it we will guide them in that endeavor, but it is not a mandatory part of our training.

Styles

Students currently have the opportunity to train in  5 separate styles of martial arts.

Ryukyu Hon Kenpo
