  • UFC 317! Craziest Card in a While!

    UFC 317! Craziest Card in a While! The UFC has been putting on fight nights for a long time now. Along the way, we’ve had some great ones—and some duds. We’ve seen main events end in lackluster stare-downs, and we’ve also witnessed back-and-forth battles with both fighters swinging for the fences until one drops. You can go as far back as Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar or Rory MacDonald vs “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler —all the way up to what we saw this past Saturday night in Josh Van vs Brandon Royval . That fight was one of the best we’ve watched in a long time. People have been saying it all week in the gyms. The MMA world felt ....

Watching iconic films like "Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior" ignited a fire within me, pushing me to explore the world of martial arts beyond my karate origins.

  • The Transformative Power of Travel: Life Skills Gained Through Martial Arts Journeys

    As a lifelong martial artist for over 25 years, I've had the privilege of experiencing extraordinary adventures at the highest levels of the sport. Some of my fondest memories stem from my early 20s when I embraced a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the world like a ronin. I didn’t simply visit new locations—I lived in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the great United States, where I was flown out to build martial arts studios and cover upcoming gyms for media coverage, not just to train. Through martial arts, I encountered diverse cultures, customs, tastes, and scents that have enriched my life beyond measure. I firmly believe it is imperative for young men and women to venture out ....

  • Karate: The Godfather of MMA

    I’ve been doing martial arts my whole entire life. Since I was 5 years old, karate has been my base. My foundation. And now at 33, after 25+ years of nonstop training across disciplines—Capoeira, Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Fencing, Swordsmanship—I’ve fallen deeply in love with not just the practice, but the history and culture that martial arts bring to your soul. Now let’s rewind to where it all started—me, 5 years old, training hard for my first white belt. I didn’t even earn that until I was 10, but I was grinding. Then, I got my second dan at 12, third dan at 21, and finally earned my master rank at 27. ....

  • Insert Coin: How Gaming’s Golden Era Helped Forge House of Dragons

    Insert Coin: How Gaming’s Golden Era Helped Forge House of Dragons

    Before there was a dojo. Before there was House of Dragons. There was a dusty Super Nintendo controller, the Street Fighter II title screen glowing on the TV, and me—5 years old—choosing Ryu for the first time like it was destiny. Ryu wasn’t just a pixelated fighter. He was disciplined. He was calm, focused, and always training to be better. He was everything I didn’t know I wanted to become yet. That moment lit a spark that never went out. I picked up a controller before I picked up a black belt, but both taught me the same thing: train, level up, evolve. By the time Pokémon Red and Blue dropped in North America in September of 1998, the game had already ....

    THE TOP 15 ANIME CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME

    Why We See Ourselves in These Legends—and Why That Still Matters By Sensei Will Esparza | Friendly Neighborhood Sensei Back in the ‘90s, if you were caught watching anime in America, people laughed. You were labeled weird, immature, or "into cartoons." I remember getting clowned for being obsessed with Dragon Ball Z, while I was literally learning more about honor, loyalty, self-improvement, and discipline from those characters than anything I saw in regular TV or school. But everything changed. WHEN TOONAMI HIT AMERICA It was 1997when Toonamihit Cartoon Network—and that changed the culture forever. Suddenly, American kids were watching Goku power up, Kenshin clash ....

  • From Ryu to Raiden: How Video Games, Anime, and Martial Arts Shaped House of Dragons

    The vision for House of Dragons wasn’t born in a boardroom or marketing meeting—it was shaped by long nights in front of a Super Nintendo, afternoons spent practicing kicks in the garage, and years of watching, studying, and becoming obsessed with martial arts in every form it came in: games, movies, anime, and real life. The first character I ever picked in a video game was Ryufrom Street Fighter II . I still remember that opening screen—the headband, the stance, the calm intensity. That was it. Ryu became the blueprint. Not just because he could throw a Hadoken, but because of his quiet discipline, his dedication to the craft, and the way he carried himself like a real ....

I personally love the environment given at this establishment. It feels like a big family at the class. I can see improvements with my son and he’s been in classes for about 2 months now. He attention that Sensei Will and Coach Marco give is amazing. Julia gives a warm welcome every class and it’s a place I will continue to keep giving my business too. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this place. I will always 100% recommend them to anyone who wants to have their child is an afterschool activity.
