Silver Dragon Kung Fu is great. I've been going for a year and a half now, and I have learned a lot and really respect Sifu Jill and her instructors Mike and Matt. They are very good at Kung Fu and very good teachers. I have done other martial arts at other schools, and Silver Dragon is superb. I also do Lion Dancing with Silver Dragon, and again Sifu Jill is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. The Lion Dancing is all ages, and I think Jill and Mike are great with the kids. I am also very impressed with most of the senior students, many of whom are teenagers. They are very good and respectful. I also ser Mike and Matt as they wrap up a kids class before mine, they are amazing, and the kids love them. Especially Matt, as he can be a goofball sometimes, but he is still very professional and an excellent martial artist. I love this school and I highly recommend you give them a try.
My children, ages 3 and 5, have learned so much from Silver Dragon Kung Fu. The instructors especially are incredible with children and find creative ways to get them involved if they experience any challenges. This is especially true for my 3 year old! Mike does an exceptional job at keeping things engaging at an age-appropriate manner. In addition, Sifu Jill and staff have been more than gracious and accommodating with makeups and rescheduling; they couldn’t be more friendly, flexible, and AWESOME if they tried. Recently our kids had so much fun getting to experience “Parents Night Out,” where they got to play tons of games, and then they got to meet and train with the real stunt double who was in full costume as Michelangelo from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!! My kids always look forward to to their time at SDKF, and so do we. SDKF is a true martial arts gem in Daly City. We are so grateful for you!
My granddaughter earned her black belt from Sifu Jill. I have watched Jill and her staff as my granddaughter attended classes regularly. I praise and respect Sifu Jill for her ability to encourage young students to be confident and respectful. Most of Jill's students come to her wanting to learn and grow. These students thrive, in part, because their parents are dedicated to the program.
My 11 year old son has been taking class at Silver Dragon Kung Fu for over 3 years now. All the instructors are very professional and keep the classes moving so the kids never get bored. My son went to a different school before and would get very bored and complain about taking class, but Mike and Jill keep things exciting and fun. My son loves the variety ... he is working on forms (katas), weapons, sparring, lion dancing, and even a bit of extreme martial arts. I love that he also learns self-defense and bully prevention strategies. A big plus is that they even have their own parking lot and free wi-fi.
I just want to say that silver dragon kung Fu is the best. My kids love the classes and the teacher Mike and Jill are the best. They love going to silver dragon kung Fu. I also love them. Thanks for everything.
