We have been thrilled with karate class. I have to say that I was talked into karate classes by a friend. I was so impressed with Master P and all of his classes. I can see how completely engaged Cooper is. I thought 4 years old was too young. I clearly was mistaken. Thanks for enlightening me to the world of karate.

We were introduced to Master Pagano after several attempts at other studios and we could not be happier. Master Pagano passionately promotes discipline, builds character, and provides top-notch karate instruction through individual attention to students both on and off the floor. As a mother, an educator, and a youth soccer coach my expectations are high for individuals who work with children, especially my own. Master Pagano is a gifted teacher and motivator who consistently exceeds my expectations and, more importantly, my four-year old daughter looks forward to every class. I highly recommend Master Pagano's Red Dragon Karate Studio.

Aadit started with the little champion program over 15 months ago. At the time, we were not sure how long he will continue to be interested, so we started off with a Groupon for a limited few weeks. Aadit has had such a great time with the program since that we've just kept on going. Aadit has a great time at the program, learning new skills which have helped build his confidence and also get out of his shell. His athleticism has improved and the games keep the kids motivated and engaged while sharpening their reflexes, The part we love as parents is that Master P is so patient with the little kids who can be all over the place sometimes in terms of being able to focus. Each session ends with time spent on the "word of the month" and it really helps kids of such impressionable age pick up key values early - gratitude, honesty, focus, and the list goes on.
We'd recommend the program for all little kids - great skill to build in a great environment under the guidance of the best teacher you can find in the area!

My son loves Master P and going to karate class. He has been here for more than 3 years now. Master P jokes with and listens to the kids. My son even decided to have his birthday party here. It was a total blast, and Master P really made my son feel super special and important that day!

Master P is a wonderful instructor! He is amazing with students of all ages and has the patience of a saint! He knows how to make classes fun while challenging the students to work hard and be disciplined. I can't say enough about Master P and Mrs. P. They run a great business and are dedicated to helping the children grow in their mastery of the martial arts.

I encourage individuals of any age or gender to come in and watch one of his classes. You will love Mrs. Pagano too. You will be happy you did and hopefully sign yourself up and/or a loved one. See you there.

We've been with Master Pagano's Red Dragon Martial Arts for 5 years and it has been a great experience for both our children and for us. He teaches the importance of exercise and disci- pline, but also self-confidence and self worth. Highly recommend for the whole family. They do such a great job with building character in the kids as well as encouraging them to embrace exercise without even realizing how hard they are working. Fun, learning and exercise wrapped into one place. I can't say enough about Master P and his staff.

My family has been taking family karate classes for several years, and it is something we look forward to every week. What better way to bond with your family then by having a fun and healthy workout while reinforcing those life lessons we want our children to adhere too.

Our son, Nick, quickly took a liking to the martial arts at the young age of 4 under the instruction of Master Giuseppe Pagano. In 2010, Nick received his 1st degree black belt and in December 2012 received his 2nd degree black belt. We are so thankful to Master Pagano for guiding our son on his journey to Black Belt not once, but twice. We are very proud parents and want to share this feeling with others. Red Dragon stands out among martial arts schools everywhere and not just because the facility is clean, has plenty of parking and an appealing décor. That is all just a bonus. Master Pagano could deliver results in a shack. The quality of instruction is outstanding and that is what makes this school exceptional. Master Pagano’s passion, character, skill and dedication is unmatched. His expertise and extensive background in martial arts and combative concepts are evident in his natural delivery of the material and the way his students are excited to receive it.
Our son is happy, confident, physically fit, and most importantly always has fun training. I could go on and on about all the benefits of training at this school. Go visit and see for yourself that it is a wholesome, friendly environment with a down to earth and gifted instructor. In addition, we participate in the fitness kickboxing classes. Without a doubt, Karate and Kickboxing at Red Dragon has been a worth while investment for our family.

It is hard not to ramble on about all the things we adore about practicing karate at Master Pagano’s Red Dragon.
Working with Master Pagano and his highly trained staff is fun and empowering. Besides the obvious physical conditioning you would expect, we have also developed our confidence, self control, self defense and pride in our abilities without being boastful. It is a joy to participate in a sport with my children and not simply watch from the side lines. We have goals and look forward to accomplishing them each week of training!

How the STORM program has impacted my son When Mrs. P first told me about the STORM program, I knew immediately I wanted Zachary to be part of it. Based on her description, I knew he would benefit from it, but I didn’t really realize how much. This new program is giving him the opportunity to not only build his physical and mental muscles but some other muscles which are equally as important. He has to get up during each class and give a presentation in front of the other students about the word they are learning that week. And over the course of the past few months, I have seen Zachary’s public speaking skills improve week after week. I think this is such an important skill that often overlooked in our technological age. Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr or whatever latest and greatest website that’s out there will not help Zachary to communicate an idea in a clear and effective way which is a skill he will need when it comes to college and job interviews. It also helps him build confidence because who amongst us doesn’t get weak in the knees and nervous when the dirty words, public speaking, are used. This program has helped Zach become comfortable with these scenarios which in turn helps him be successful in them. I have also seen Zach’s leadership and mentoring skills begin to emerge as he helps the younger kids in the class. Practicing and mastering a skill yourself is great but when you can pass that on and help someone else, that’s an even better feeling. Finally, this program offers Zach the opportunity to help others in our community. We are so busy in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives that we often forget to stop and appreciate the many blessings we have. Buying things for STORM’s chosen charity has helped Zach and myself for that matter to realize that there is another world outside of the 10 mile radius we travel each day and the people who live in that world sometime don’t have something as basic as shampoo and soap to give themselves or their kids a bath. We always talk about kids who don’t have food or toys but to realize some people don’t even have what they need to get clean was a real wake up call for both of us. I can’t say enough good things about the STORM program. I feel it reinforces the trinity that makes us human beings; our bodies, our minds and our spirits because without all three, we are not truly complete. I am so grateful and thankful to Master P. and Mrs. P for taking their time to develop this program and to share even more of their talents with my child.

Daniel has been taking karate with Master Pagano for the past 5 years. We originally joined karate not just for the fun and exercise but for the other benefits too; self discipline, self control, self defense and respect just to name a few. In July 2014 Red Dragons started a new program, STORM which stands for Special Team Of Role Models. Daniel asked to attend a special storm seminar. From the first seminar, he was hooked. We immediately signed Daniel up to be part of the STORM program. STORM goes beyond just the karate basics, it is teaching Daniel how to be a leader. Yes, they get to do extra fun karate things like advanced weapons training but they also work on life skills. They work on public speaking, and leadership. How to assist in class (this is a big one with Daniel as someday he wants to run his own karate school). How do you tell someone they are doing something wrong in a positive way to encourage them and not make them feel defeated? How do you learn the self confidence to go out and be a leader? Well, the answer is STORM. The Storm program is taking karate and adding so much more. Daniel is definitely enjoying the STORM program and we are so proud of the added benefits and skills he is learning.

I have taken other classes similar to this one but the Kickboxing Class at Red Dragon has surpassed my wildest expectations! That is because Master Pagano knows how to train anyone regardless of their fitness level. He works on your strengths and weaknesses, improving all aspects of total body fitness. Beginner or advanced, you will get results! Master Pagano shows how to modify if you need to modify and the required strength and endurance is obtained in no time. The routine changes with each class, so my body is always guessing what will happen next! Master Pagano pushes us without being overbearing and keeps the classes fun! I never walk out of there without being drenched in sweat. The best part is that we get to wear gloves and hit things. Best Therapy Ever! Motivation up…Stress level down! I can say I am totally addicted and loving every minute of it. It kicks my butt every class, but when I leave I feel stronger than ever. I have never considered myself to be an athletic person but with Master Pagano’s encouraging approach to training, I leave there feeling like a real champion! I highly recommend it to anyone of all fitness levels. Try it..you will love it too!!

We started with Master Pagano's about 3 1/2 months ago because we were looking for an exercise activity we could do together and we would enjoy. From our first class, we were pleasantly pleased. Master Giuseppe is terrific. As we were both considerably out of shape, he encouraged us to work in the class at our own pace and we see ourselves improve over time. The class is great. Master Giuseppe offers variation on the class each time. You are never doing the same thing, but the exercises, and skills build upon each other. It's an awesome workout and it goes by really fast. The class, led by Master G is always fun as he engenders a friendliness and camaraderie. All the participants pick up on this and it's one big friendly group. We really appreciate Master Pagano's as a well run professional establishment. It's truly a place we look forward to going and plan on continuing for a very long time.
