Red Dragon Karate Placentia / Yorba Linda

We are so happy with the warm, personable experience we have received at Red Dragon. Sensei Shahin has been so welcoming to our family and encouraging to my kids. As a parent, I really appreciate the studio’s approach in not only training them in the physical aspect of karate, but most importantly that there is an emphasis on building character in our kids, and instilling valuable life lessons. We look forward to seeing how our kids grow with this studio!

We’ve met Sensei Shahin one year ago when we did our first trial in Diamond Bar. Due to traffic and freshly bloomed pandemic we haven’t enrolled. Fast forward to Spring 22 after having trials with other martial arts schools (Tae Kwon Do, Shaolin ) my kiddo was always saying: “ I love Sensei better” so we’ve decided to do another trial at the brand new dojo in Yorba Linda .
My kiddo was so happy to meet Sensei Shahin one year later and he said “ Sensei it’s the best, I’ve always wanted him “

Dojo is being keep very well ventilated , super clean , plenty of benches, tables with chairs , snacks and refreshments.

The thing we love ? The enthusiasm which floats all over the dojo from Sensei to the youngest Mini Dragon .
Classes are 30 minutes with plenty exercises from techniques and Katas to games and team competitions to weapons ! Yup weapons :) how cool is to see them practice those Nunchucks?

Sensei keeps those eager Mini Dragons at bay with engaging attitude, gentle discipline, positive reinforcement and a funny attitude.

Kiddos you ask ? They are happy to share their thoughts , their emotions, their personality. You see them blooming from week to week.

We love Sensei and his dedication, his emails , his funny posts , all the family oriented events and his positive attitude even towards those restless Mini Dragons who got so excited to tell what they saw on the way to the Dojo.

Sensei Shahin is incredible. Not only is he skilled at Karate, but he is a positive, patient, engaging instructor. My son is globally delayed and Shahin is phenomenal with him. My daughter is a perfectionist and he is amazing with her. I watch him instructing all ages and ability levels and he is remarkable with every age, to the point that my husband and I have now signed up for classes. Sensei Jim is incredible too. He too is a great instructor. Both men are humorous and engaging. I could not say enough good things about Red Dragon and Sensei Shahin. If you are considering joining, DO IT!!

We brought our son to this brand new Red Dragon dojo because he was previously in Taekwondo at a large studio, but we wanted a more personal experience and figured a new dojo would give us that opportunity. Upon our first visit, we knew it was perfect for us. Our son immediately clicked with Sensei Shahin and could not wait to come back, so we signed him up for the unlimited plan and he comes 4 days a week! He would come 7 if he could! This has had such a positive Impact on our son, because the studio encourages the students to be their best outside of the studio and Karate as well. They are expected to complete “STAR reports” and my son is always striving to help around the house and be better in school because of it! His favorite part of this dojo is he has a close relationship with his Sensei, who takes the time to get to know each student well and takes genuine interest in their lives. We are so impressed with Red Dragon and this dojo in particular, and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Karate!

My son loves learning karate from Sensei Shahin. He does a really great job of controlling the room and teaching all the kids self discipline, whilst all still having a great time. We have only been going for three weeks and my son has already progressed so much. I love how Red Dragon is also a place for community— Sensei Shahin hosts birthday parties and parents night out where the kids go play for a few hours while parents get some free time. How cool is that? We definitely look forward to our son progressing more, building confidence, and making new friends. Thank you, Sensei Shahin!
