Q:
What makes the Golden Dragon Dojo different than other Karate & Kung-Fu Schools?
A:
At the Golden Dragon Dojo we "HAVE FUN." The system has been set up so anyone can do it. Not just the physically fit but the disabled or young & old. And we don't teach Discipline, we bring it out of the student as "Self-Discipline", "Self-Esteem", "Self-Confidance". This way the Discipline stays with the student and doesn't stay at the dojo for next class.
Also we work for self-defense not trophies and awards for fighting.
Q:
What if I want to do Tournaments?
A:
The Golden Dragon Dojo joins in on 2-3 tournaments a year for the experience. They are optional and do not count against you if you choose not to attend. Also you can just go and watch. We want you to come home with new techniques and friends you met at the tournament.. Not a Plastic Trophy.
Q:
How Long are your classes?
A:
The Golden Dragon Dojo holds classes 6 days a week. Monday thru Saturday... That's right 20+ hours a week.
But most of the time the students are looking for more. training is split into 4 groups {with a few Breaks Thrown in}
1) Warm-Up {a lot of stretching but soft warm-ups}
2) Getting your new technique {if you are not in review you get a new technique every class}
3) Rendori {Free training this is your time to work on your new technique, practice an old move & work with one of the 3 instructors on the floor.}
4) Combat/Special Training {learning how to use what you know & work on something different}
Q:
How does the Golden Dragon Dojo Feel About Cross Training?
A:
WE LOVE IT ! ! ! You learn at the Golden Dragon Dojo that we are all Martial Artist... Learning new things from other styles only makes you stronger and a more rounded Martial Artist. The GDD will many times make trips to visit other schools for cross training or have different instructors come in and visit to show us their style.
