Red Dragon Karate Upland

My 7 year old son has been with RDK Upland for almost 2 years and absolutely loves it! He enjoys attending classes and respects all the teachers.
Red Dragon Karate Upland has taught my son discipline, self confidence and teamwork.
The studio also promotes monthly home & school behaviors with a specific learning theme, as well as extracurricular activities outside of the studio.
We are extremely satisfied with the program.

We have been affiliated with Upland Red Dragon Karate for 2 + years. Our son loves the classes and Shihan Cosgrove has been a great instructor. He is very intentional about having the kids learn discipline, teamwork and respect as part of their instruction. The senseis who work with the students are well trained and pay attention to the students. The only downside to the RDK program in general is that it is pricey. On top of monthly lesson fees you are also expected to pay for uniforms, multiple weapons, registration fees with the American Karate Federation each time your child advances to the next belt color and entrance fees for tournaments that are available every few months. That being said, the staff at Upland RDK is not pushy about selling you items. They just let you know what is available for your child based on their progress and let you decide if you want to get it. No hard sells here. It is not the least expensive martial arts program, but it does offer the most training opportunities for katas and weapons. Shihan Cosgrove runs an excellent program and we believe the training and experience our son is receiving makes it worth while. If you are wanting a high quality martial arts program, I recommend you check out Upland RDK.
