About Delaware Dragon Martial Arts

At Delaware Dragon Martial Arts, we offer Newark's most complete martial arts curriculum, anchored by a dedicated Gi Jiu-Jitsu program alongside Muay Thai, MMA, and striking disciplines. Located at 106 Louviers Drive in Newark, Delaware, our Academy serves students of all ages — from our Lil Dragons program for children ages four and up to competitive adults training multiple disciplines.

Our Gi Jiu-Jitsu program is built around technical instruction and rank progression, guided by experienced coaches who emphasize proper positioning, leverage, and submission defense before encouraging students to go hard in live rolling. Instructors hold credentials across multiple disciplines and bring a well-rounded, cross-trained perspective to every BJJ class.

Delaware Dragon Martial Arts is a community gym — the kind where students know each other's names, push each other on the mat, and celebrate each other's promotions. We welcome students of every experience level and work to meet each person where they are in their martial arts journey.

I wanted to get started on the martial arts journey, and Delaware Dragons has been the best decision I have ever made! I’ve been learning so much from Sean and Becca, and I highly suggest that if you want to try martial arts, please join them, you won’t regret it!

I've wanted to train in martial arts since I was a kid, and I finally have had the opportunity at Delaware Dragon. It would be hard for an experience to live up to expectations like that, but Delaware Dragon has exceeded them. The instructors are excellent; even guest instructors are top-notch. Standards are high, but you don't have to be natural to train at Delaware Dragon. Along with great instructors, the culture is fantastic. If you've heard horror stories about various martial arts gyms, and that's turned you off to training in such a place, come up here and give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. My classes there are a highlight of my week. If you're thinking about giving something like this a try, they offer a free try-out class or two, so you've got nothing to lose.

If you are looking for a place that has a great mix of martial arts with a family type of environment and you have a young child or an older child, you need to look into Delaware Dragon Martial Arts! If you are an adult and want real life practical and applicable training this is the place for you too. If you have been thinking about it for yourself or your family, just come check it out for a few weeks. You will be hooked as well as your kids. Master Riley has been absolutely amazing with my daughters and with the other children in the gym. I have watched both of my girls come out of their shells and gain an amazing self-confidence. Memory has improved, coordination, and countless other items. Master Riley has provided them and our family with countless priceless memories of our daughters growing, learning, trying, failing (in a very positive environment), and succeeding.

A very welcoming place. The instructors are very friendly and great with the students. The best thing I like is how he wraps the JuJitsu into teaching the kids some moves to help them get away from a person that may grab them!! Also my boys have become more out going and confident since taking their classes.

My kids started a few months ago. The 30 min classes are perfect and they are building self confidence along with burning energy and learning the basics of karate and martial arts. They are on their second belt and get very excited to get to the next level belt. Sean and Becca are both amazing with the little ones. The prices are so reasonable as they can go as many times a month as they want (they offer 5 days a week). Looking forward to continuing throughout the years.
