Fighting Dragons school of Martial Arts offers training in various styles including Kung Fu San Soo (street fighting / self-defense), Brazilian JiuJitsu, Muay Thai / Kickboxing, and Tai Chi.  We also have cardio classes in the morning and afternoon for people who want a good workout.  All of the instructors and students are encouraged to learn other styles as well to help themselves and each other.  One can never know enough!  The instructors work together in a family environment to provide the best possible training available in Bakersfield. While we are relaxed and friendly, there is still a certain level of intensity and respect expected from the students.

Fighting Dragons officially opened in Bakersfield in January 2002. We started on Olive Dr in a small space (about 1700 sq ft).  Three years later we moved to a larger location inside East Hills Mall (2600 sq ft).  On October 19th, 2009, we joined forces with Daniel Camarillo (Brazilian JiuJitsu instructor) and opened a new central facility at 2415 Chester Ave (6,000 sq ft).  The new facility is amazing and very spacious.  We don't anticipate moving again - our previous moves were necessary because we outgrew our facilities.  Although we expect to grow in numbers at our current location, we will not move; there's easily enough room for 50 people per class which is more than we will ever allow anyway.  As classes grow, we will create new classes so the class size is never too big.

We also offer classes specifically for women so they can enjoy training in a comfortable, safe environment.  The classes feature the same training as our regular class with special emphasis on moves women will find practical.
