About Dragon House
Dragon House is a unique and comprehensive MMA gym that offers a wide range of classes and training styles. The gym is led by a Grand Master Sifu, who is not only an expert in his craft but also generous and kind, often going above and beyond to help his students. The gym has a strong sense of community, with students from all walks of life coming together to train and support one another. The classes are designed to improve not just physical skills but also mental discipline and drive, and the instructors are dedicated to helping students reach their full potential. The gym offers a variety of classes, including MMA, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, and Kung Fu, making it a great option for those looking to focus on a specific skill or style. The instructors are experienced and knowledgeable, and the gym has a strong reputation for producing well-rounded and skilled fighters. While some students may find the gym's emphasis on MMA context in BJJ classes and the instructor's bias against certain techniques to be off-putting, overall, Dragon House is a great option for those looking for a challenging and supportive training environment.
I really like the head coach and owner. I’m in my sixties now. lol. I’m getting old but I love the sport. I trained with Sifu one-on-one after surviving breast cancer. He’s a great guy and a GRAND MASTER. He knows so much He gave me his gloves. I found them Sufu! Generous and kind coachI’m living in Sacramento now.
Best MMA gym in the Bay Area for sure. Especially since moving to a new, bigger location in 2022. 3x more mat space, better parking, way bigger two-story facility. I've been training here and known the owner for about 8 years and he's the best instructor there is. This place is welcoming to everyone regardless of age, race, male/female, etc. I've seen all types of people come train over the years and they were all treated with the same respect by staff and members. Zhong has been training striking and kickboxing over 40 years and there's not a better kickboxing coach anywhere in California. He's also a 2nd degree BJJ black belt under Clovis Silva so his BJJ credentials are legitimate as well. Whether you're serious about competing, just want to learn, or you just want to get in shape or lose weight, this gym has it all. I don't even go to a regular gym anymore because the weightlifting and cardio area here are perfect. This is where I do most of my weight lifting when I'm not doing MMA or BJJ. You can leave your kids here during the kids class. Zhong is a father and works very well with young kids. This place is safe and family friendly.
Trained since I was 10, Been here for almost 10 years, the best gym ever. The family we all become if you do stay and commit to this place is truly magical. I didn't just learn mma but I learned the discipline and to bring out some special kind of drive to keep pushing forward and to keep learning is awesome. I am a girl and I have always felt safe with all the guys that I train with. When I say we are a family, we really are one big family. We all throw each other around punch people in the face, we lose, we win, we sweat, we bleed, we get dropped, we get back up, we fight and the most important thing is that we do it all together. This gym isn't just some b******* building to take your money, but Dragon House is THE place to show you what true MIXED MARTIAL ARTS is all about. The way Sifu teaches is amazing, I've watched other gyms trying to have their classes but it's never like this. Everyday you know you're learning something new, if not you're learning how to get better on something you already know. No matter what, every second you train here, you improve. You build yourself up not just by pushing yourself mentally and physically and not just by Sifu pushing you but also the teammates around you push you. If you want to join an MMA gym this is the one to join. You don't even need to do MMA, you can focus on something specific like wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, jui jitsu or whatever, they even offer kung fu classes. Anyways to put everything together, go to dragon house if you're looking for a gym to train at, if you want to focus on a skill, become a fighter, a grappler, or anything just come to dragon house and make our family even bigger and better!
