The staff is extremely friendly and classes are so much fun. If you’re on the fence about it, they have a free week of classes for trial, which I loved! Highly recommend

White Dragon is incredible! The staff are genuine, kind and super encouraging with my child. They have been very flexible with our scheduling needs and their communication is timely and helpful. We look forward to many more years at White Dragon!

This kung fu studio is a wonderful and amazing place that works you out to your limits but teaches you important life lessons, everyone here feels like a family and we all feel like were in this together

Large outdoor parking lot is used for classes, with ample distancing. Every staff member is friendly and courteous. I cannot say enough good things about the owner, staff and location. The best!

This turned out to be a great place for my daughter to gain confidence. The lessons build on each other and she is able to get a sence of structure and progression through hard work.The instructors are patient, insightful and its always a great experience for her. She is learning to focus, self control and protect herself. These are strengths she can build on and ultilize later in life.

This place is such a amazing spot to go because everyone supports each other and were like family, we all push each other to the max and then congratulate each other on it, its a amazing safe workout and a great stress reliever.

Great staff, and environment, always accesible when we need to reschedule a lesson for our daughter. Always on time for a good practice.

I have been looking for a tai Qi school that I liked for years. When I visited White Dragon Martial Arts school, I was impressed by the positive energy all the instructors have and the work ethics they share! Even the students were very welcoming and warm! I love my Tai Qi family now and will be bragging about the school to all my patients ☯️Tai Qi for life! 💚If you are looking for a school, this is the one to join! Trust me you won’t be sorry :)

Ive seen several lion dance performances from White Dragon and each time has been a treat! It really gets everyone excited and festive to see several lions dance and interact with the crowd. It was really cool to see as a kid and still super fun to watch as an adult. Thanks for bringing such a festive mood with the lion dances! Im always excited when I see lions from the White Dragon!

This place is amazing! I took my daughter here for about a year before Making the move to Texas and she absolutely loved it. All of the instructors especially Mr.Gomez made the whole experience a great one. You’re not just a paying customer in their eyes. You’re treated like family and I love it.

Staff are really nice

For our wedding in December of 2016, my husbands best man recommended that we do a traditional lion dance as part of the event production. He referred us to White Dragon Martial Arts and they did not disappoint. They were punctual and did a fantastic job of keeping themselves hidden from our guests prior to the start of their performance. All in attendance were absolutely surprised and thrilled!White Dragon does an excellent job of training its students, and the dedication they have instilled within them was radiantly shining through during their performance. Everyone was very impressed and we received a lot of positive feedback for having included them in our special day.It was such an enjoyable experience! If one were considering a lion dance for their event, I would highly recommend White Dragon Martial Arts of Clairemont.

This school has such a welcoming environment and a staff that is friendly, well qualified, and highly knowledgeable! The training experience here is unlike any other! I would highly recommend White Dragon to anyone! The instructors know how to teach with varied approaches and make me actually want to come in and train everyday! If you’re looking for a challenging workout, training at a pace that works for you, and so much more; look no further, this is the place for you!

Such an incredible treasure for the entire Family

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get into martial arts. The staff is very skilled, professional and friendly. I started bringing my son here last summer and he has become part of the White Dragon family, he looks forward to his classes and has a sense of purpose. Thank you White Dragon!

Ive been a student at White Dragon for about 13 years. My wife and kids are students also. Nothing beats the individual instruction that you receive at White Dragon. Training here is a great physical workout, great for self defense, but also my kids are learning really positive values, self discipline, and self confidence.

I trained in other styles for the better part of a decade before I came to White Dragon. I was looking for a challenging martial arts program, and found that with so much more. Ive learned to be more self-confident and how to work hard towards my goals. My weekly private lessons always give me something to look forward to! One of my favorite things about the school is the Chinese Lion Dance team. It’s an awesome workout and we get to do fun shows all over San Diego. I love it! Highly recommended martial arts school for kids, teens, & adults alike!

I have been training here for a few years and have never been this satisfied with any other place. When I came to white dragon I at first didnt know what to expect. With time everyone here from the students to the instructors showed me a different and unique nice way to train. The instructors here are professional, polite, friendly, safe, and care about your health. If your not feeling well during a class or a workout the instructor will gladly take a moment to stop and ask if your okay and what they can do to help. If you want a tougher workout and you speak up on it, the instructors will push you to your limit. I havent seen a single dull day here. Theres always a smile on the instructors faces and they are all willing to help. Sifu Stanley, the head man of the team has himself at times taken time from his busy schedule to ask not only me but other individual students how there workout went and how they enjoyed the class. I have not seen so much professionalism in my life. You truly do get your moneys worth here and i truly love it here. Its beyond wonderful here I love all the staff here and all the friendly students thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. Hopefully you can do the same for other people and this review helps as well! :)

Great school. All the instructors are super friendly and positive. As soon as you walk in you feel at home. Great class and lessons to not only get in shape and learn self defense but also fun.

The instructors are awesome and they teach by encouragement not belittling the student. If the student does a move wrong, the instructors will tell them good, but next time lets do it this. Best place in San Diego for martial arts.

Love this place!!! We have been here over a year now, not only has my son advanced in rank but he has advanced in his personality. He is such an introvert, but being here he is such a different individual, great way to channel all his extra energy. The instructions are amazing and never anything but encouragement from all.

I had the pleasure of being a part of this incredible school for 11 years. This school is like a second home to me, I always feel welcomed and supported by everyone. Tai Sifu Ben Stanley is an amazing mentor and has always been committed to the growth of his students. The instructors at this school exemplify what is means to be great teachers and leaders. They work with their students to provide them with the best experience in their martial arts so that they grow not only in their strength and endurance but also as knowledgeable martial artists. This creates a wonderful community where everyone works together to help and challenge themselves. It has been amazing to see students grow up and advance in their ranks with such grace and commitment while helping those who are just beginning their martial arts journey. This environment provides for a challenging yet rewarding experience because you are surrounded by people who share similar goals and who care about helping each other grow. The curriculum is well rounded so that you are always learning something new and trying things that may be out of your comfort zone which will only help add to your skill set. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great workout, knowledge of martial arts and a positive environment!

Have been bringing my daughter here for about a year and a half. She loves her weekly private lessons and the group classes and has really learned a lot. I enjoy seeing her progress. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.

My son has been a student at the Clairemont location for over two years and really enjoys his classes. All instructors are welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend White Dragon Martial Arts.

This school is not only incredible for ones education in martial studies but also one in which its possible to strengthen oneself in a myriad of other ways as well. For me, its become a family which has enriched my life enormously. all the instructors are the most helpful and friendly you could ever meet, the facility is spacious and welcoming, and the amount of knowledge available to the students really is quite impressive. Thank you, White Dragon. The impact youve had on my life goes beyond what I can put into words.

My kid trains Kung fu with Mr. Gomez at White Dragon at Clairemont and he absolutely loves it!!! All the instructors are great and I’ll recommend this to everyone!

That is a great training place for anyone. Hope to see you there.Leo

I train both Tai Chi and Kung Fu with White Dragon Martial Arts Clairemont and absolutely love it. The instructors and Tai Sifu Stanley are the best teachers one could ask for. I recommend it to anyone looking to train Martial Arts, your body and your mind.

Definitely a life-changing experience for me. Learning martial arts while at the exact same time meeting new people. Its more than just a school. Its a very family oriented environment. Definitely money well worth spent.

Brown sash student, been going on and off since I was a kid. The instructors are super friendly and can address problems for students of all ages! I love going to the annual tournaments!

White Dragon is the school to go if one is looking for precise, correct technique, a tremendous workout that will increase endurance and flexibility and for a pleasing and inspiring environment. My family and myself have made Choi Li fut at White Dragon a philosophy and style for living. Thank you White Dragon for such inspiration when teaching! Our learning in this school, with our excellent instructors is a lifetime and joyful en devour.

Ive been going for 3 years and I have learned a lot. Every instructor here are nice and well knowledged of martial arts. This school helps in self defense for children and benefits them in the future. Adults have the same experience . This sport requires a lot of dedication. For example most of the instructors here, started when they were little. Now they are professionals at what they do. The school also offers combative classes that help with self defense. Overall I believe that this school is the best martial arts school in San Diego because of its requirement for a lot of dedication.

This school is the best school for a child to learn martial arts. They make us feel like family. Definitely recommend!!!

White dragon is honestly is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. This place is my escape from school and stress I can come in do my homework and get a good work out I recommend this place so much

As a female I found white dragon a great place to increase your strength, flexiblity, and confidence. I found my second home here and am so grateful for the authentic training I recived. Definitely recommend it!

When I first joined white dragon, I was so nervous and now that Ive been there for about 7 months its like a second home to me. The instructors are nice and very welcoming. Ive learned a lot from white dragon and I know its something Ill want to do for a long time.

I absolutely love this place. I started here after years of struggling with back and neck problems and these guys helped me learn to not only walk again (literally) but to run as well. These guys have changed my life in the best way possible. This isnt just a place to train these guys are like family. I can’t recommend White Dragon Clairemont enough. Not many places will take the time to work with someone with a disability and these guys really helped me. Not only that it’s a positive, friendly place to be that will brighten your day but they have a direct link to the founder of our system, Choy Li Fut, so you know the training you get is solid.

This organization is great. Teaches great life lessons. Great health benefits too.

The instructors are very nice and have gotten to know my son as an individual.

White Dragon Clairemont, as well as all the other locations, is a great place to go if youre either looking to learn self defense, learn the history behind traditional martial arts, in this case Choy Li Fut or tai-chi, or just get a great workout that isnt your normal mindless gym workout. Different instructors all have their own teaching style so every class is a different experience. In addition to the traditional stuff they also offer kickboxing and submission grappling to round out your self defense game. Been a student since December 2007 but I also trained here when I was ten back in 1995. I had such a positive experience that I told myself Id come back at some point. Get off the couch and go check them out!

A great training experience. Its nice to learn from the best of the best. Highly recommended. Great caring and professional staff.

Love white Dragon my daughter loves her instructors shes been here for two years and she is awesome at it .

Ive been going here for 5 years straight and learning here is amazing!! The instructors are very friendly and helpful that it brightens my day. Even if they teach Kung Fu and Tai Chi, you learn more than what you expect. This single place gave me a second life.

This martial arts school is amazing, and arguably, one of the best in San Diego. I really did my homework, before deciding to join this particalur martial arts school so I’m not just saying this. Starting at the top, from its Sifu and to all of its Instructors, the martial arts programs that it offers to members of the general public are fantastic, thorough and appropriately challenging. Once you enroll, as a student, the focus is all on you and to properly introducing you to the true meaning, ideology and practice of Kung Fu. It offers great flexibility and many classes in both Tae Chi and Kung Fu, to its students in a very clean, safe, professional and respectful environment. As a older adult male, Midwesterner who migrated from Michigan to San Diego & former competitive athlete, I’ve honestly found myself falling head over heels for martial arts, but especially Kung Fu, and that’s in large part due to the way that this martial arts school, located right in the middle of Clairemont, is ran and operated.

White Dragon in Clairemont is the best. The instuctors are amazing and kind. I came here over 5 years ago and Ive never had the option to quit because i would miss this place a lot. Sifu Stanley is amazing and funny. Since Ive been here for a long time he always messed with me throughout the years. The place is home away from home.

Something happened. Possibly a lack of training or a communication issue for a junior instructor with my child. The issue may be resolved but Im leery still. New protocols are in place for awhile. I recommend you keep eyes and ears on your child there and ask for 1 on 1 training in the open to alleviate any potential discrepancies.

Traditional sports didn’t really take for our son, who ping ponged from everything from baseball to soccer. But he fell in love with Kung Fu and it, and the teachers at White Dragon, have helped provide discipline and focus for him.

Fun times at White Dragon. Good experience 10/10 would recommend

I have been training at White Dragon for six years now and it has changed my life. I trained martial arts as a kid and a teen, but stopped training for various reasons as an adult.The training at White Dragon far surpassed any training I had done before, both in the quality of the teaching and the variety of what is taught. I have continued Kung fu forms training, which is what my experience was before, but also learned tai chi, kick boxing, submission grappling, and traditional Chinese lion dance. I am in the best shape of my life, and have become a more healthy, disciplined person, and have had opportunities to compete and train with amazing people, made some great friends and training partners along the way.

Amazing school to learn kung fu and tai chi. The crew always give it their best to give the students a great workout and teaching self defense. Ive been studying at White Dragon for 15 years and love it. Tai-Sifu Ben Stanley is 100% dedicated to teaching martial arts and making sure every student that trains there has a wonderful experience. White Dragon is also dedicated to creating a positive environment for all the students.

I have been going to White Dragon Clairemont for over ten years, I can not say enough positive things about this place. If you have interest in martial arts for health reasons or self defense this is the place to go! The one on one training is phenomenal, its not just forms training but technique, combative and weapon training are available. There is always something new to learn from your choy li fut and/or tai chi private and classroom lessons. White Dragon always has a very welcoming and teaching atmosphere, when I began my training I always felt encouraged, safe and part of the group. The quality is what keeps me training here, you see it in the instructors abilities, positive teaching styles and the wealth of material handed down. Check it out, you will be motivated to learn some great things, both physical and mental.

I started when I was 11 years old like everyone I was very shy when I first started, as months went on I began to build up my confidence and I started to be more social. I started to earn my stripes which motivate me to keep going and now Im a brown sash and Im still motivated till this day, I look forward to going and learning all the time, you think once your advanced you stop learning but actually you never do, there is always something to learn at white dragon. On April 4 it would be my 4th year attending White Dragon Martial Arts. White Dragon is like my second home, the teachers are very caring and involved and they motivate you to earn your next level, especially the Sifu there. Sifu Ben Stanley is one of the most caring, outgoing, nice, genuine person that Ive ever met, he has done so much for me and my family and there is no words to show how much I appreciate him and white dragon. I recommend white dragon all they way.

White Dragon Martial Arts Clairemont is more than just a martial arts school, it is a place where you build bonds and create lifetime friendships. I am glad to be apart of this community and looking forward to many more years of training here.

Ive been training at White Dragon for a little over 10 years now and, they continue to astound me. I dont think I have ever seen people so passionate about teaching anywhere else. Furthermore the pace of which you learn the material is perfect. It is fast enough to keep you engaged and also slow enough to make sure you thoroughly understand the material. In conclusion if you are looking to learn Kung Fu or Tai Chi I cant think of a better place than White Dragon.

Ive been training here for over 2 years and I love it. They have an amazing staff of instructors, an amazing Sifu, and a great learning environment.

When my brother was 13 he really wanted to do martial arts and came across White Dragon and decided to try it out. He fell in love with the school right away. The instructors are dedicated, hardworking, and welcoming and they feel like family to us now. They pretty much are family. Ive known almost everyone at the school since I was 6 years old! Last year in march I decided I would start kung fu too and now Im almost a blue sash :) Everytime I leave the school I have a smile on my face. I wouldnt want to go to any other school

There are many martial art schools in San Diego to choose from but Im thankful that I found and chose White Dragon.White Dragon is more that a martial arts school. There is a strong sense of family, comradery, and community within their school and you feel like you are a part of the White Dragon family from day one!I went in thinking I would learn Tai Chi moves but I learned a lot more than that. I learned history, form, posture, respect, self defense and confidence.Id recommend White Dragon for anyone of any age and I truly mean that. Its wonderful seeing young children learn art, culture, compassion and respect. As an adult, I didnt feel out of place. There is a wonderful blend of age groups and expertise so you feel confident in your surroundings and able to learn something new!Id like to extend a great deal of gratitude to each and everyone of the White Dragon family members for making me feel at home and strengthening our community.

Ive been part of White Dragon for over a decade. I started training because I wanted something to keep me fit. I stayed because I found a family. Not only does White Dragon help students develop martial arts skill in Kung Fu and Tai Chi, it develops discipline and respect. Instructors care about their students progress and work to help them achieve their goals. I feel that White Dragon is a unique school because its dedicated to improving people. And you see it everyday.

Been a student at White Dragon Clairemont school over 15 years. Very authentic Yang style Tai Chi. Excellent school if you are interested in learning martial applications of Tai Chi and practicing the push hands aspects of the art.Mr. Ng

I love White Dragon! Everything at White Dragon is awesome. I cant get enough of it. I love Sifu Stanley and all the instructors because they are the ones who make White Dragon so great.I wouldve missed out on such a great opportunity to get fit and disciplined if my friend hadnt told me about it by inviting me to the awesome tournament they have every year. When I came to the tournament, I couldnt believe it. A Kung Fu school that teaches, well, Kung Fu of course but also, taichi, grappling and kickboxing! I saw this as an opportunity to get strong, to learn how to defend myself, overall get better and also have fun.Eager to join I asked my friend what I needed to do to start as soon as possible. Then I took my first introductory lesson with a great instructor. It was fun, learning the basics and all but becoming an official student was where the best part was. With the classes available everyday as well as the instructors who helped me, I became a proficient student. Well long story short, I continued to go to classes, absorbing all I could taking advantage of every opportunity I had to learn and practice. I got fit and had fun especially with the friend who invited me and many more I made along the way. Im writing this review to help pass along some of my knowledge and experience. There is always something to learn, theres is always a challenge whether its mental or physical. Thats why I love White Dragon. ♡

White Dragon Clairemont does more than teach self defense; they teach how to be a good person. The core values that are instilled in every member translate to the rest of life. As a member since the age of seven, Ive attended White Dragon for over half of my life. While much has changed, including the friends, students - and even a few instructors - I continue to see the same thing every time I enter: Smiling faces, positivity, and respect. A great part of White Dragon is that no matter what your intentions are for joining, whaterever it is you want to learn; be it self defense, Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Grappling, a healthy lifestyle, or any of the other grandiose things that are tought; the unanimity amongst members is that you will learn how to become a good person.

I would have written a review sooner, but I had nothing to complain about. Training at White Dragon has had a huge positive effect that has branched out to many areas of my life. To name a few, getting in excellent shape, better focus, transformation, and self knowledge. Kung Fu is so fun and the school is well cared for. The Sifu of the school has such a positive attitude which reflects onto the students and instructors . Its like school away from school, but one that teaches self defense, core values and fun Kung Fu forms. I have made many close friends, that I can train with. Well anyway, I usually never write reviews, but this school has provided such a great atmosphere, so I wanted to give a shout out and a Hip Hip Hurray for White Dragon!

White Dragon has been a home away from home to me. Ive always liked kung fu ever since I was growing up because of Bruce Lee and some other cool martial artists. I wanted to fight like them and be able to defend my self. When I came to White Dragon, I learned to fight but then thats not why I stayed. I learned more then just fighting. White Dragon has amazing core values like discipline, responsibility, humility and respect. Thats why I stayed and continue to train.

Nice place to learn!very accommodating staff..
