Dragon Martial Arts Academy was founded on 08/07/2023. The school is led by School Owner, Master William Gottfredson, who has been teaching Ho Kuk Mu Sul for over 10 years and holds a 5th Dan in Ho Kuk Mu Sul and a 1st Dan in Taekwondo. Master Gottfredson is a USAT Certified Referee and an AAU Certified Referee. The program teaches Ho Kuk Mu Sul as a hard-soft style that is not a specialized style and was developed with multiple attackers in mind, and over the course of training students learn skills many would recognize as Taekwondo, Judo, Aikido, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu while also learning multiple weapons. Programs emphasize values like respect, discipline, perseverance, and mental lessons on respect, dignity, and self-control, and classes take place in a safe and supportive environment that prioritizes the safety and well-being of students. The academy describes itself as a community dedicated to personal growth and empowerment.
