Red Dragon Karate has been training, coaching, and teaching kids and adults of all ages for over 60 years, beginning in the late 1950s. The program’s mission is to help each participant become the strongest, most confident version of themselves on and off the mat. Red Dragon Karate states that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience level, and it stands behind a realistic and practical approach. The organization notes that it strives to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere for students and family members, and takes pride in creating an environment where individuals can achieve, develop, and succeed in their personal goals.

Shihan Sensei Louis D. Casamassa is described as the man behind all that is Red Dragon and is a United States Marine and 10th Degree Black Belt. He was among the first Americans to earn a Black Belt in Judo at the Kodokan, promoted by Resei Kano. Red Dragon is described as an American original and is widely considered one of the first modern mixed martial arts styles ever created.
