Sun Dragon Martial Arts and Self Defense is a nonprofit karate and self defense school with a focus on social justice, personal empowerment and peacemaking. Our self defense program is built on teaching concrete skills that will enable students to make themselves, their families and their communities safer; such as learning to recognize unsafe situations, deescalate conflicts, speak against injustice and, finally, physical self defense skills.
Sun Dragon prides itself on making karate and self defense training available to anyone, regardless of ability to pay or physical limitations. Funds raised through our Annual Kickathon go directly to expanding our scholarship and violence prevention outreach programs, providing access to these skills to underserved communities and families who wouldn't typically be able to enroll in a martial arts program.
