We are very happy with the White Dragon. They are serious about physical and cultural aspects of martial arts beyond usual job requirements and business development. They genuinely care for their students and they love what they do.My Son’s review:I am 11, and I have been going to White Dragon for two years. We tried a different marshal arts place before, but White Dragon is much better. I had Mr. Li as my instructor. He always motivated me to do more.

Love White Dragon!!! Mira Mesa has been my school for about a year...Sifu and all the instructors are friendly, everyone motivates us to be our best. My instructor is super thorough and gives the best tips. I look forward to seeing the familiar faces of other students and I love and appreciate how kind the advances students are whom also gives me great tips.

My son has been attending the classes at White Dragon for 3 years and loves it! The teachers are great and the classes are well taught. He is almost a purple sash and cant wait to be a black belt! I started him at this school at 6 years old because he was so hyper and this school has taught him discipline and how to defend himself. This method has calmed him down quite a bit. He also loves to compete in the tournaments and win medals! A great confidence booster. Great school!

I have attended the this school for over 15 years. The instructors are all knowledgeable and friendly and care about their students well being. This school is a great safe family atmosphere for learning martial arts.

***Guards-Up-Crane-High***My family and I started attending White Dragon Martial Arts in Dec’.2009-2010.  Our main goal was to stay in good health and to learn self-defense.  At White Dragon, you have the privilege to use the facility from start-to-close-six-days-a-week and attend the regular group classes to meet that goal.  They have fun yearly events where students have the opportunity to perform, thus allowing them to demonstrate their knowledge/skills in martial arts.  The instructors are highly trained/professional/skillful martial artist.  They are very kind, patient and understanding people, but wait till you see them in one of the tournament event (student/instructor tournament) and watch how one’s personality turns-in from a kind face to a fierce one…it’s scary.  The Class program is another great value; students would benefit in having a one-to-one class session (private class)…other martial arts schools in San Diego does not have this program.

My daughter just started classes here about 4 months ago. I wanted her to learn to defend herself but really just to get more confidence. Her instructor has been great. I have already noticed a difference. She loves the classes and her instructor seems to know how to push her just enough to keep her on track. I have been so happy with this school and just noticed they also have a great adult program that I can get a great workout too. Happy to be part of the White Dragon family!

Love the school. The staffs are professional and friendly. My son has been here for a year and he loves it.

My son is taking classes for about 2 years and really enjoys it. He likes the opportunity to practice not only cung-fu but graspling and kick boxing. He also gets great experience with private classes which are included.

White dragon is a great school that I highly recommend. My first experience was in 2011 when I first joined the La Mesa branch. I love how the school is always available during regular hours to go and train and was a great way for anyone to find balance in work, social life and then seeing my own personal growth goals with white dragon. I was with the branch for 3 years and had to take and extended leave of absence for another 3 years but only because of personal reasons. The entire time I was away I missed the training, health benefits, and traditions of the school. Recently I was able to finally rejoin with Mira Mesa and have been having just as much, if not more, fun getting back into tai chi chuan. The staff is very helpful, friendly, accommodating and knows the art. They have great events such as tournaments, exhibitions, and seminars. I have heard the feedback from others that some things seem to be expensive, if you actually calculate the cost against almost any other gym for personal training, valuable knowledge, and benefits for health, they exceed them. Plus I have had gym memberships and it’s hard finding regular training partners and interacting with many at a normal gym. At white dragon it is easy to make friends and train with a group to not only achieve your own goals in group class but learn from others in their joint experience as well. It really is an experience you can’t get anywhere else.

White Dragon not only teaches techniques to defend yourself. The lessons are a great way to enhance your life in many other ways for people of all ages.After not doing martial arts for almost 3 decades, I started Choy Li Fut classes at White Dragon about 2 years ago and Tai Chi classes about a year ago. I learn something new every lesson, whether its techniques, forms, sparring, grappling, working with weapons, or self-defense.This is a great place to meet new people. The instructors and students help each other learn new skills and motivate each other. In life, achievement comes through hard work, and the folks at White Dragon are extraordinary in helping develop this mindset and helping me succeed. The more lessons I go to, the more progress I make toward being ready for the next sash or to participate in a tournament.Ive been to five of the White Dragon locations – without exception, the instructors and students made me feel welcome. Training with friendly people in group and private lessons has a positive impact on my well-being: less stress, more confidence, more willpower, more happiness, more stamina, more flexibility!Regardless of your skill level, give White Dragon a call!

I love the people Ive met here. Always positive and encouraging.. It makes doing a hard workout fun. There are so many different things to learn from the difference classes offered. I feel like Ill never run out of things to learn.

I began coming to classes in White Dragon Martial Arts about four months ago. Ever since then, Ive enjoyed an increase in my self confidence, discipline, and fitness. The instructors are very helpful and each class brings a new perspectives on new moves and moves you already know. The overall mood is very warm and friendly, and allows me to incorporate Tai Chi principles not only into the martial art itself, but also into daily life. Thank you, White Dragon; keep up the great work.

I’ve been training at White Dragon since 2012. My goal was to get in shape and have fun. White Dragon has been more than I ever expected! I’ve lost over 50 lbs and am in the best shape of my life. What a great place to work out and train! The instructors are AMAZING!

Mira Mesa White Dragon is awesome. The instructors are helpful, courteous, caring, and professional. They take their time to explain each move, each form, and they keep the kids engrossed. 6 yr old Noah has been with White Dragon for a little over 2 yrs and he is working on getting his blue belt soon. I love how he is more focused and disciplined in whatever he does both inside and outside White Dragon.

Ive been attending White Dragon for about six months, and its been a fantastic experience. All the instructors are incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, the classes are fun and a great workout (Ive lost 90 pounds since I started training and overhauled my diet), and the other students make up a great, positive community. If youre looking for a school to train at, I could not recommended more highly.

My experience with White Dragon Mira Mesa has been phenomenal. I came to gain self defense skills and to become healthier, and in the process of gaining these skills I also have grown in my self discipline, work ethic, and willingness to accept a challenge. The school is founded on strong principles and teachings that propel its students to success.

My little one Ian started his Kongfu class with White Dragon since this April. He loves it. His instructor for private session Ms. Lau is very professional and responsible. All other instructors there are also very nice and professional. Through the training, Ian is much more confident and stronger.

I have been coming here since August 2015 and it has been an awesome experience! The instructors and our Sifu here are dedicated into teaching their students into becoming martial artists! It has been a life changing experience for me and I plan on continuing my training here for a good long while.

I just turned 61 and was looking for a way to improve my stamina and strength without going to a gym. I thought of Tai Chi slow motion exercise for old people just my speed. I joined White Dragon 2 months ago and found out Tai Chi is not slow motion exercise for old people! It is a martial art. That improves fitness, balance, strength, and mental concentration I need that to. I am already seeing and feeling the results.White Dragons instructors have a level of expertise and professionalism I did not expect. They keep me motivated with their energy and positive style of instruction in the one on one training as well as group classes. The instructors work work so well with children it is fun just watching them train. I know my decision to join White Dragon Martial Arts in Mira Mesa is the best choice I could have made for this type of training. And I know it will become a life long activity for me. Everyone who is interested in a healthy activity which the whole family can participate together in should check out White Dragon Mira Mesa!!

We started because our daughter was bullied in kindergarten. She is now in High School. Even though she is too busy with school work to continue, my husband and I are still there. Why? Because Sifu Lau and the instructors are amazing. They see what you are capable of and want to bring out the best in you. There is also great camaraderie in school as well. We laugh, we commiserate over sore muscles, but we also help each other become better martial artists.

Very positive environment to help develop self discipline and self defense for my kids! I enrolled both of my kids and they have enjoyed it!! My kids have gained self confidence and is more positive/comfortable at school and playing sports with other kids.

Sifu and the other instructors at White Dragon focus not only on the physical aspects of martial arts, but also on the marital spirit. This means you develop necessary and practical self defense skills, but you will also grow mentally and spiritually. I recommend White Dragon to all.

I have been going to this school for about 10 years. I have always found it to be a positive experience (why else would I stay for a decade?). I really enjoy my private lessons and also the wide range of other group training classes (tai chi, combatives, weapons, stretching). The instructors are well-trained and fun to work with. The school has been very flexible with my schedule over the years, especially when I was pregnant--took a break to have my child (now age 7 - she has also attended classes). They are very supportive and try to adjust to meet your personal needs. White Dragon has been such a big part of my adult life--I cant imagine not going!

White Dragon is not your average strip mall martial arts school. In fact it is an awesome school for authentic Chinese Kung Fu training. The instructors are top notch. Not only have my kids developed great self esteem and discipline but they are also learning essential life skills. Choy Li Fut is the most complete martial arts system. Therefore the training is very comprehensive. The training includes: self defense techniques, various hand and weapon forms, grappling, and sparring. My kids are never bored because there is so much to learn and the instructors make it so fun for then. We’re so happy with this school!

White Dragon has been a great experience, i am getting in great shape and strong. My kids enjoy it also. The instructors have been great, Mr. Li, Mr. Pelletier, Ms. Senfield, and Ms. Rotolo has a really good kicking class she makes it fun. Have made some really good class mate friends also. Its a great place to work out and learn self defense as well good mental strength skills. Raj

Lots of classes available. The teaching staff is super knowledgeable. The martial art is fun and practical. Killer workout. Cool beans.

Best martial arts school! Life changing experience. Highly recommended to everyone!

I had both of my boys trained here for their martial art since April. They loved this place. All teachers and masters here are very nice and respectful. Very friendly environment, parkings are plenty. Its awesome to have a cool Dojo place in Mira Mesa. Support the locals!!!

Ive been going here for well over a decade and love it. The best part is that the training is very versatile so it keeps you interested for a long time.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my training here. My individual lessons are well structured, my instructor is very thorough, and group class gives me the opportunity to learn from other instructors as well.

Ive been learning Tai chi and kungfu here for the past few years. They have a wonderful atmosphere that promotes asking questions and learning at your own pace. The school has a very positive and helpful staff, and the instructors ensure a good balance of classic martial arts vs street-smart self defense.

I have been a student at this school for many years. I find the instructors impressive and willing to work with you. Sifu Lau has always been a positive influence in my life. I am so happy I walked through those doors. I hope to always be a student.

Very family oriented and positive environment. Our son loves going to his group classes and loves his private lessons with Mr. Lai. Mr. Lai takes his time on going over every step with us after his lesson. Couldnt ask for a better place to teach our son self discipline.

You can tell that all of the instructors have a love for what they do and it really comes across when they teach. There is a dedication to each lesson and each student that makes you really feel like part of the White Dragon community.

Its a great pleasure and an honor learning from this dojo am learning alot and the teachers are wonderful.

One of a kind school with a dedicated group of teachers and students. Im fit, confident, and happy. Love this place!

I am an elementary school teacher, which means Im always on my feet and having to think quickly. My life is very fast. So . . . I chose to be a Tai Chi student at White Dragon in order to bring a little bit of slowness into my harried life. My tai chi lessons and classes provide me with just the balance I need. Ill be sticking with White Dragon for a long time.

My son started taking Kung Fu at five years old because he loved watching the old Kung Fu movies with me. He takes it very serious and is always demonstrating to family what he has learned at White Dragon. He is very excited to be able to move and strike like the martial artists in the movies he loves.

After years of cycling, running, and working out at the gym, I wanted to add another form of cardio to my weekly routine. Starting with an introductory pass, I stumbled my way through some punches, kicks, blocks, and a few self-defense techniques. A few more days of this and I was addicted to the art of Kung-Fu at White Dragon Martial Arts – Mira Mesa. The instructors here are passionate about their teachings and offer some of the best classes I’ve taken part in. Whether in a private lesson, group class, or combative class, after 30 minutes you’ll realize what kind of shape you’re in. This is a great place to learn discipline through personal training and mastering techniques and forms. I find that the amount of personal satisfaction you get is the amount of effort you put in. There is no pressure to commit to an extensive membership. Lessons are at your own pace and comfort level.

Love this place! Will push you (in a good way) to be better. XP in real life.

I have been going to White Dragon since 2006 for both kung fu and tai chi. The training is good for both health and self-defense. Every week I have a one-on-one lesson with my instructor and attend daily group classes to help me practice and get better. Everything is positive and hands-on. I would recommend White Dragon to my friends.

This is an awesome studio. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Classes are motivating and fun.

My son has been going to White Dragon Martial Arts for several years since he was in Middle School. He is now at High School, and despite having lots of homework has continued going there because he values what he has learned there: self defense, confidence, flexibility, discipline and so on. We appreciate Si Fu Laus demeanor and his big smile, as well as the rest of the crews professional work ethic and helpfulness.

I have been going to White Dragon for over 6 years. I do Tai Chi and Kung Fu. It is challenging and great for my health. It has helped my knees a lot since surgery. I like to think of it as exercise with a purpose. It is way for fun then going to the gym.

After several years of sedentary life, working in an office and doing zero exercise, I got exhausted just taking a long walk! I decided to change it, so I tried running, but I get so bored that I stopped right after starting. Then I took a look to some gyms, but I didnt like the ambient and the feeling... one day after work I drove by White Dragon School in Mira Mesa and stop by. I though that Martial Arts schools people were intimidating, but I entered and talked with Mr. Mendoza, that was in the front desk that day. He was amazing. He walked me through the school and gave me some introductory classes. I have to say that was the best decision I took in years. Since then, Ive been an student in the school for more than three years, and Im in the better shape I have been since since my early twenties. My level of confidence has skyrocketed, and I love my weekly Kung fu lesson with Mr. Huynh every Tuesday. I could not do other thing that strongly recommend the school to everybody, no matter your age or fitness level. Im very happy attending to it. The knowledge and skill level of Sifu Lau is just incredible, and the chance to learn from him worth it.

Horse-Stance Cat-Stance Bow-Stance; join the stance training with Sifu Lau When I first joined White Dragon Martial Arts I was five years old. I joined White Dragon so I could defend myself in a situation when somebody is attacking me. As I got older I learned that martial arts not only could be used to defend yourself, but also to keep a healthy body. I still continue to practice because I want to be able to maintain a healthy body and I want to be able to protect myself from these people who attack you for no reason.AJ Calangian

I have been doing Kung fu at White Dragon for over 7 years and it is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. All of the group classes, private lessons, and seminars have been so beneficial to me and have helped me grow as a martial artist. The instructors are so knowledgeable and devote so much time to teaching and training their students to the best of their abilities. Thank you Sifu, Ms. Teerlink, Mr. Mendoza, the other instructors, and the whole White Dragon student body for helping me achieve my goals and all of the opportunities you have given me. My reason for joining White Dragon has changed greatly; Not only have I learned the tangible act of Kung Fu, but also I have learned so many intangible aspects from Kung Fu, including the eight core values that White Dragon teaches all students: martial spirit, martial ability, respect, humility, positive attitude, discipline, responsibility, and health. I cannot say for sure what I would be like had I never started at White Dragon, but I am definitely sure that I would not be the person I am today. I strongly encourage everyone to join the White Dragon family; it is a decision that one will definitely not regret.

Signing up for classes at the White Dragon Martial Arts Mira Mesa was the best decision I ever made. I recently moved to San Diego, and have been going through a rather difficult time in my life. I needed a change, and was intrigued by the ads for this school. Ive always wanted to learn martial arts, but having no prior experience I was a little intimidated. One day I decided to take a chance and signed up for the introductory class. Since that day, Ive fallen in love with the world of Kung fu, martial arts, and the wonderful people at this establishment! The school has a wonderful facility with a very open and welcoming environment. Everyone from the students to the instructors are supportive, encouraging, and eager to help each other learn. Young children to the wise and seasoned would benefit from thsee classes. Besides being a great workout, you gain important values such as discipline, respect, dedication, and self-confidence that translates to all aspects of life. These classes are the highlight of my days, where I constantly learn new techniques, test my limits, feel stronger and more confident in myself, and leave with a sense of empowerment. Mr Pelletier has been an amazing instructor, always patient, encouraging and pushes me to become better at every one-on-one lesson. Sifu Lau is an incredibly skilled teacher and admirable leader of this school, someone that everyone respects and looks up to. Ive truly enjoyed my experience with White Dragon Martial Arts Mira Mesa and cant wait to learn more! I would recommend anyone and everyone to join this amazing establishment!

Highly professional, patient and dedicated teachers. Welcoming and safe environment like a big family.

Excellent and engaging place to train at. Your #1 spot for a hard workout and traditional Kung fu!

It has a wonderful environment that makes you feel like a part of a family.

Thanks to White Dragons policy of allowing their students to attend group classes at any of the 9 White Dragon schools, I am able to visit Mira Mesa for additional training, and when my schedule doesnt permit me to attend classes at my home school. Ive learned a lot during the time Ive been visiting this school, which has really enhanced my training overall.
