Dragon Gym Exton (HQ)

Six months ago, I registered my 8-year old son for the CORE Taekowndo class. He's hyper-active and is easily distracted. We've been searching for ways to help him focus his energy and his attention in healthy ways. We have tried soccer, rock climbing, tennis and swimming. In each of these sports, he became bored within a few weeks. None of those sports "stuck" with him. Enter Dragon Gym. He has been attending classes a few times each week for SIX MONTHS! Instructor Chris Taylor has a unique way of handling the elementary school aged children. He speaks to them with respect and expects (and earns) respect in return. He drills into them the values of discipline, hard work and dedication to family and friends. He also doles out praise in huge measure so the children receive positive reinforcement as they learn new skills and consistently display the values... Read more >

When I started my girls at Dragon Gym I was very skeptical. We had been at another karate studio and not had a good experience. However, I was completely wrong about Dragon Gym. From the moment my girls started in Instructor Chris Taylor's class I was impressed. This was not just a karate class. He was teaching them how to be successful not just in karate but in life. He huddles them up and talks to them about looking someone in the eye when talking to them, doing your best every time because you don't always get second chances in life and respect. Quickly, I signed up my younger son. Under Master Lonnie Beck and Instructor Chris Taylor's teaching, my son's attention issues have improved and his ability to focus and concentrate have significantly improved.
However, our story does not stop here. While sitting in the balcony watching the kids classes I realized this was not just a... Read more >

My son takes Taekwondo classes and loves it. The staff is very friendly, resourceful and knowledgeable. I've seen first hand that every child receives good attention from their instructors. Extremely nourishing environment to learn in. Read more >

All 3 of our kids attended the Dragon Gym 7+ years! Both of our girls achieved their Jr. Black Belts and our son his Il Dan Bo! Among the many martial arts skills that they learned, most importantly they gained self confidence, discipline and commitment! These are all life skills they will always be able to take with them, wherever they go! We will always refer and recommend anyone to the Dragon Gym! Many thanks to Instructor Lonnie, Instructor Chris, and Master Som! Read more >

This place has been my home for twenty-five years and I do everything I can to make everyone that walks through the front door feel the same way. Read more >

My family joined Dragon Gym a little over a year ago.

I currently train in Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing, and my daughters are in the taekwondo program.

I’m 37 years old. In the last year I have accomplished things I would never have imagined I could have done. I lost 40 pounds, I’ve run a 5K, and I’ve competed in two tournaments. I haven’t been in this good of shape since before college.

Dragon gym has incredible instructors across a variety of programs to help you reach your goals. They have taekwondo, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, yoga, tai chi, and even a certified kettlebell program. Whatever your fitness goal is, they have a program that will meet your needs.

But dragon gym is more than a gym, it’s a community. The Dragon gym family is incredibly kind and supportive. We’ve made great friends here, and we enjoy coming out to the gym... Read more >

I started at Dragon Gym when I was 14 years old in the Muay Thai program and it quickly became like a second home to me. They have an incredible family atmosphere, and they treat everyone with the respect they deserve! The instructors/owners work hard everyday to make sure their students receive the best knowledge they can give them. They continue educate themselves from everything to throwing a punch to the best way to teach children with learning disabilities. It is truly inspiring to see how dedicated they are to their students and facility! If they have a program that you are interested in do not hesitate to contact them, you will not be disappointed.

I joined the Dragon Gym Family in early 2010 when I was attending college. Since then I have had the opportunity and privilege of working with Somnath Sikdar. As graduation approached, anxiety began to set in as I pondered “what do I do now”? That same year I received my first certification as a Coach. In the midst of celebrating this accomplishment, I realized that I did not know what the hell to do with it. Over the past few years Som has selflessly guided me on my journey as a Fitness Professional. He has given me so many opportunities at Dragon Gym to sharpen my coaching skills and improve my business. As an educator, Som is a dedicated and gifted instructor. It is quite rare to find a teacher that possesses such a well-rounded repertoire of skills. I think the most prominent influence I have obtained from Som is that although he possesses... Read more >
