I’ve been a student of Tong Dragon’s since February of 2014 . When I joined, I had no martial arts experience, but in a relatively short time, Mr. Colon and his staff have helped make it “my thing.” The Bayville facility is large enough to accommodate big classes and it’s always clean. As great as that is, the people at Tong Dragon, staff and fellow students, are what make this place special. Mr. Colon and the other instructors are fantastic motivators, pushing everyone to reach their individual bests. The student body is full of helpful, genuine people who are always happy to pass on what they’ve learned as well. It’s definitely not a martial arts gym full of meatheads or problem characters like some of the other places I’ve heard about. Mr. Colon attracts good people to his gym because of the positive, professional vibe he puts out. The personal benefits I’ve received from training at Tong Dragon range from a higher fitness level to increased focus. But the technical aspects of learning a martial art like Muay Thai kickboxing have made me a happier person at home and work. The confidence gained from moving up ranks and mastering new techniques is what makes me want to remain a student for many years.

Tong Dragon is undoubtably the best decision Ive ever made in my life. Mr.Colón and all of his trainers have definitely changed my life for the better. They always welcome you in and make you feel at home. Not only are they amazing at training amazing martial artist but Ive gone to instructors for advice countless amounts of times for issues and they all sat down and talked to me about my problems without hesitation. I honestly wouldnt want to go anywhere else to train because these people are truly amazing at what they do. Ive been there for about a year now and have learned so much. Ive changed so much physically and mentally! For someone with anxiety issues this place is great to help get some owner of energy and stress out in a safe environment. Everything they teach is easy to understand and provides a great workout for those who are looking to get into shape. Not only that but you can really learn how to defend yourself here and much more if you were ever interested in competition! Whatever your goal The employees of tong dragon mma will help you reach it if youre really serious about it.

First, making the decision to train in the martial arts will change anyone’s life for the better, and there is nothing more important, especially for women and children, than learning self-defense and confidence. My husband had joined Tong Dragon about 6 months before I did, and seeing the positive changes in him both physically and emotionally since his first class made the decision easy for me to finally make it a part of my life too. All of the instructors at Tong Dragon, from the kids program to adult, are experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and enjoy what they do, and most importantly, you’ll feel truly part of a team and family, the hallmark of a great martial arts academy. The physical and mental benefits since joining Tong Dragon are numerous, and I’ll be happy to call it my family’s home away from home for many years.

My 7 yr old son has been training at Tong Dragon for over 2 years now and it has been amazing. It has helped him become more respectful and more focused at home and at school. It is a positive environment for him to burn off all of his extra energy. My 4 yr old daughter recently started training and is excelling as well. It has definitely helped boost her self-confidence. Their success and positivity has inspired me to start training too. We are proud to be part of the Tong Dragon family. Mr.Colon and all of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and professional. The MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques are being taught in a manner in which my children can easily understand and execute. If you are looking for a place to start MMA training, no matter what age or level, I highly recommend doing so at Tong Dragon!

We enrolled our son at Tong Dragon when he was ten years old. At the time, he was struggling with confidence and self esteeem. After one week of meeting Mr Colon, we knew we had found the perfect school. Its been over four years now & our son has developed into a self assured & independent young man. He trains four or five days per week, competes in tournaments regularly & has even begun helping with instruction of the kids classess. I myself started training there last year & I could not recommend the school highly enough. Whether it be for the kids or yourself, the instruction is second to none and the environment is friendly and welcoming. You wont be disappointed.

We enrolled our son at Tong Dragon when he was 4 years old. Beginning in the Little Dragons class, and now having worked his way up to the Kids Advanced class, he has had an amazing experience throughout. Mr. Colon and his staff are engaging, patient, supportive, and fun with all of their students. They take the time to recognize each childs needs and give an extra push or pep talk whenever its needed. Our son has always left class feeling accomplished and excited for the next class. MMA teaches him respect, responsibility, and wonderful self defense and safety skills. We are extremely pleased with the school and are eager to watch our son continue to grow.

I have been a student at Tong Dragon for over 15 years. Much of what I have taught as a Police Defensive Tactics Instructor was learned and refined here at Tong Dragon. All three of my children trained here from the time they were 6-7 years old. Self-defense is just one part of their program. They also teach the importance of respect, discipline and goal setting. Mr. Colon prioritizes each students schoolwork and helps them develop an affinity for physical exercise which is lacking in so much of our junior population.My children are adults now but they carry with them the lessons learned on the mats at Tong Dragon.

Tong Dragon Mixed Martial Arts is one of the best decisions Ive ever made for my family, it has become our home away from home. Eric Colon and his staff are second to none in there instruction and attention to detail, great for kids of all ages , my son who has recently been diagnosed with dyslexia has benifited greatly from the kids program and have been told by doctors its what has helped him get through a lot of the phases of his dyslexia. The family atmosphere is great and its for all ages , I train as well as my wife ,daughter , son and nephew. Tong Dragon MMA is second to none. Team Cucinotta

Tong Dragon is more than a martial arts school, its a family. Mr. Colon and all of the staff are highly motivated and dedicated to building a team and family atmosphere for the students and their family. I trust them to instruct and support my children for the last 8 years and I am so happy to be a part of the Tong Dragon family. A high level martial arts gym and supportive environment are a dynamite combination! I would recommend anyone to try it for yourself; you will not be disappointed. Lee and Christine Xenakis

When my son started at Tong Dragon he was a rambunctious, high energy 5.5 year old. He had most difficulty focusing, that was 6 months ago. In that amount of time I have seen a difference in his behavior, in MMA, and as a Kindergarten student. He is more attentive, and focused, he is still high energy but has learned where to direct it. I believe that is due to the staff at Tong Dragon. They care about the students, are encouraging and want to see them succeed. Its different than any other school Ive experienced.
