Some of the most asked questions are answered here, including types of classes, class times, class dues, and ranks. Just scroll down for class information.

CLASSES

 
Rising Dragon Martial Arts provides full curriculums in four separate martial arts, though combined they are called "Pai Lum Tao." Those arts are Pai Lum Kung Fu, Pai Yung Tai Chi, White Lotus Kenpo and San Shou (Chinese Kickboxing).  Kung Fu and Kenpo classes are concurrent (students from both arts train together) while Tai Chi classes are separate.

Rising Dragon Martial Arts also provides youth classes, adult classes and inter-generational classes for the Kung Fu and Kenpo programs. Children as young as 4 years old may begin training in our kung fu program. The classes are called "Little Dragons" and is for ages 4 -12. Adult classes are 13 and older.
 

 
Little Dragons train in the same material as the adult dragons, but not the same quantity.

CLASS DUES
No student in Pai Lum Tao "buys" their martial arts. Rather prospective students are accepted into the school and family. These students must comply with the protocol and goals of Rising Dragon Martial Arts which include honor, loyalty, and courage, discipline, respect, and love.

Students exhibiting behavior in or outside the class violating such standards may be dismissed from Rising Dragon Martial Arts.

Accepted students pay monthly dues. No contracts are required, but are available.

The monthly fee rate is as follows:

Kung Fu or Kenpo Program Dues

Dues for Youth under 18

Monthly Quarterly Six Months Yearly
$65 $60/month $55/month $50/month

Dues for 18 and Older in Kenpo or Kung Fu

Monthly Quarterly Six Months Yearly
$75 $70/month $65/month $60/month

Dues for Tai Chi or San Shou (Kick Boxing)

Monthly Quarterly Six Months Yearly
$65 $60/month $55/month $50/month
Cross training fees
"All students can learn a second art for only $20.00 more per month.  For example a Kung Fu student could also train in Tai Chi for only $20.00 more per month or a Kenpo practitioner could add on the curriculum and training of the San Shou -  Kickboxing Class for $20.00.  So a student could train in two full arts and get certification in both at a rate as low as $80.00 a month or possibly less.  If a student should be so adventurous (and have enough time in life) they can train in 3 arts for another $15.00 a month.  No one is allowed to train in four arts at the same time at Grandmaster's directive.

Family Plan Special for Kung Fu and Kenpo
When more than one person in a family trains at the school there are continuing discounts. For each additional family member there is a substantial discount: $10.00/month for the second family member, 15.00 discount for the third, $20.00 discount for the fourth and $25.00 discount for the fifth.
 

Introductory Special & Once A Week Special training:
Would you like to try training without commitment or uniform.  Rising Dragon offers 3 classes for $19.95 as an introductory special.  And for students who are having scheduling conflicts or for another reason only wish to train one day out of the week the monthly rate is only $45.00 / month.
