Very disappointed in our experience. We wanted our son to learn self control, discipline and enjoy his experience. The trial was an audition to see if our six year old was good enough and catching on fast enough to join their program. He was given 5 classes to see if they would be willing to work with him .... they are kids!
I loved it and will return. It gives u a hell of a workout
I loved my experience here! I go around the city and try out bgg different places and this is one for the books for sure! The instructor and assistants were extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Will not only return, but soon be a member!!
Dragon fly is by far the best exercise ive ever had. If you are trying to cut weight or learn to fight its just for you. Ive been here for 5 years and there is not one bit of meanness towards anyone. It is truely the best place that i know of
Ive worked closely with dragonfly elite Martial arts academy. The environment is very welcoming and the equipment is very nice and the atmosphere is very professional and clean. The instructors are very knowledgeable and transparent. Its very easy for high level instructors to have an ego, however dragonfly does not display those characteristics. The young men and women that train there receive excellent technique, and the instructors and staff all care about one another. Ive been a guest instructor on a few occasions with my discipline and it has been a pleasant experience to be able to learn and observe how dragonfly conduct their business on and off the mat. I am very honored to leave this review on a staff and family like dragonfly elite.
I am an obese man and I was treated very kindly the people there are very understanding of someones physical capabilities my first session although grueling and painful was wonderful I will be coming back it was an amazing experience
Holy cow my abs are soar...but in a good way :-)
Dragonfly is an ELITE environment for you to become the best version of yourself. Classes are fun and very informative. You will discover many things about yourself both mentally and physically that will empower you to take on each day with confidence. I highly recommend Dragonfly Martial Arts to everyone of any age. The youth classes help develop personal protection skills, confidence, and a great way to keep them healthy.
Because of Dragonfly I dont just have a false sense of security. I know I can hold my own if I had to engage in a physical altercation. On a deeper level Dragonfly has helped me mold my mindset into that of someone who is willing to work hard to achieve greatness. I recommend Dragonfly to anyone that whos willing to put in a little hard work.
Initially, if you are looking for a great place to workout, to try a new sport or to get fit, Dragonfly is a great starter for that. However, as you progress and learn more, you begin to form relationships with great people there and develop a team mentality. The instructors there are great and they really have your interest in mind. They teach skills that apply in the martial arts classroom but they also help strengthen skills that apply in the real world: perseverance, discipline, dedication and hard work. :)
Dragonfly Martial Arts is a facility with instructors that are truly passionate about motivation and encouragement. Training is not so much about competition with others, but teaching individuals to be the best they can be in everything they do. Life lessons are taught here.The environment is clean and people are friendly and welcoming.
Dragonfly Elite Martial Arts is an amazing academy that the whole family can grow from. Everyone will gain discipline, leadership and life skills that will assist them in everyday life. My husband has been with the Dragonfly Family for many years, and my daughter and I have had the opportunity to participate in an assortment of classes. I personally suggest the Defensive Divas class for any woman to gain confidence. Kenny has a great curriculum for anyone at any level they come in. This is a first class academy that wont disappoint you!
This place is amazing!!!! My son has been there for about a year now and loves every second there. I love the way they do the promotion, your not just given a new belt you have to work to get that new belt, the respect a discipline they have for their students and family is just beyond. If your child is having bully problems this will help, they will NOT teach your kids to go out and fight, what they WILL do is teach them respect, restraint and most of all the confidence to face ANY challenges that are thrown their way, if that means physical, or mental they will be ready. I highly recommend Dragonfly!!!! The instructors are all amazing, which is why this place is so amazing.Jennifer Wright
I found an ad for 2 free weeks of classes and just so happened to be my oldest sons 19th bday. Hes wanted to get into something like this since he was a kid and I had nothing to give him for his bday. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and the instructor is very nice and accomodations. They are flexible with classes as we had to reschedule. It being free classes they didnt penalize him for not being able to make it to his 1st class. The place is small and inviting, very friendly, calm atmosphere.I havent looked up prices so cant really rate that but Im sure itd be worth what ever they are.Only negative (which really isnt that bad) is had trouble finding it the 1st time and didnt know where to park. So, if youre coming for the 1st time, google map it and look at the satellite. *** Parking is across the street at the Plainfield Municipal Building.***Overall, starting off great and excited to see what my son learns and whats next.Definitely recommend!!!!
I have been coming to Dragonfly for just under two years now and have loved every second of it. My instructors are friendly and very knowledgeable. The coaches and students have always been welcoming and go out of their way to help in any way they can!
By far the most efficient way to burn calories and define muscles, all while practicing self-defense tactics that can actually be applied in a bad situation (because it becomes routine... Not a random one time seminar that wont be remembered when you panic). Accountability is easily found through the family-like relationships that develop quickly in this academy lead by such incredible instructors.
Excellent gym, worth every penny. Very welcoming, I feel a strong sense of family there and the techniques taught are very effective.
Dragonfly is my home away from home. Ever since I joined Dragonfly, I’ve lost 100lbs, gained confidence in myself, and found my passion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Kenny is an amazing coach. He’s patient but he sure can give a good speech that makes you want to push yourself to your limits. He travels the world and brings what he learns back to the mats. Zeke works hard all day to give you the best experience and can answer any questions you may have. Whether it’s a technique or ordering some cool dragonfly gear. Dragonfly isn’t your typical gym and workout. The mat has always been my safe place away from stress.
Dragonfly is family! My boys and I learned not only how to defend ourselves but respect, confidence and proper manners. The teaching is incredible and the experience is one of a kind.
Great place to get involved with Martial arts! I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over a year here now and could not be happier with the staff and training. If you are looking for a place that brings out the best in you I highly recommend dragonfly! 10/10
I have loved working out here for the last three and half years as a family! Not only doing the strength and conditioning, but love learning self defense doing muay thai! Great instructors and energy here!
If you want to get into shape this is the place for you. I started out a couple of months ago as an out of shape, overweight, non athletic couch potato. I still might be overweight but in this short time i am seeing some big results. Clothes size down, energy and confidence are up. I no longer dread physical activity and look forward to the burn you get from class. I love the structured workout Strength and Conditioning provide, and high energy and tempo the class is set to. The people there are very supportive, positive and helpful. I can see why anyone that has been going for years love this place so much. The love and passion that the instructors have for what they teach shows. Can not recommend this place enough.
I absolutely love training here. I drive 2.5 hours round trip to train every week when I can.The training is top notch and the everyone makes you feel like part of the elite family.I have trained with Kenny in several arts and he is absolutely amazing at everything he does. From bjj, muay thai, weapons, and firearms, he blows me away with his knowledge and skill.Being able to connect with a leader like him is a blessing and it is truly a honor to be able to train under him and at his main school.He practices what he preaches and lives it everyday, just knowing him makes you a better person and I am very proud to be a part of Dragonfly!Go in and connect with them because their programs will change your life. Thank me later and hope to see anyone reading this on the Dragonfly mats soon!
If youre looking to develop a lifestyle of physical fitness with martial arts training, Dragonfly Elite is the best around -- there is no other academy with such an elite mindset for success!
The entire team at Dragonfly, led by head Coach Kenny Bigbee, is exceptional. They are truly dedicated to teaching authentic Martial Arts and have a positive culture that is challenging yet makes each workout enjoyable. After a year of training under Coach Kenny, my skill level as a Martial artist has dramatically improved. I highly recommend Dragonfly to anyone that is wanting to learn practical Jiujitsu and Muay Thai and get in great shape too!
Great people great training! So many awesome people working out, learning and improving all aspects of their lives. With 10 years of experiencing the amazing knowledge and encouragement I can easily say this is the best atmosphere to learn martial arts get in shape and become the best you possible!
Dragonfly MMA is a amazing place filled with amazing people!! I found somewhere where I can train and actually get taught techniques I want to learn, the exercise itself is amazing, and I can truly be myself when Im there. Kenny Bigbee is a amazing strong willed down to earth person and Id recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn how to better themselves and become more efficient in defending oneself. Dont miss out on amazing people, a amazing instructor, and a amazing experience its truly been life changing for me!!!!!
Dragon Fly is a one of a kind gym, I walked in one morning with my daughter in the middle of a Jiu Jitsu class observing and wondering if this would be something for me, both Kenny and Zeke approached me with big smiles asking my interests, goals, and ambitions. Making me feel welcomed and no pressure to join. I took the 2 week free trial, and after it was finished, I could never see myself leaving Dragon Fly. I have made friends turned family, and through the guidance of Kenny and Zeke as well as the whole Dragon Fly family, I have learned to overcome my own way and learned to become elite, and face adversity not only through Martial Arts, but through hard work and perseverance! This is the school my children will attend this 2020 and I can’t wait for them to start ! If you’re looking for an amazing, hardworking, and a gym that will push you to be your best, look no further ! Dragon Fly is where it is at !
Amazing instructors, fun environment to learn and grow. Great structure for young and old alike.
Great place with awesome instructors!!! If you want to get fit and learn self defense, then this is the place for you, no matter what your age is!
Great owners and employees. I told them what I hoped to achieve and every week they check in with me regularly to see if they can do anything more for me. This is a great place to train and learn
Dragonfly Martial Arts is an awesome facility with great instructors that are truly passionate about martial arts.The instructors also motivate and encourage individuals to do and be their best in all that they do.The establishment is clean and well maintained.Everyone is friendly and extremely welcoming.They definitely raise the bar.
Top notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and fitness programs. Dragonfly provides a family friendly and welcoming environment for all ages and skill levels.
Great place to train from beginner to advanced, great family environment, great classes and teachers. Everyone is a big family here.
Fantastic academy, great people, helpful life lesson in protecting oneself and awesome confidence builder for me and my family.
Great place but they are starting to need more space. Some classes are way too crowded.
When I went there it was the easiest
Good for adults as well
