“I have been involved in martial arts for decades. Sifu Aaron and the classes at Dragon Phoenix were some of the best martial arts training in my life. He teaches from both the heart and the mind. He explains, and demonstrates in a way that is enlightening. I was filled with new and healing energies and have advanced in my understanding of life in general, and Tai Chi and Sword in particular. I could go on and on, let me just say anyone, of any age over say 7, can benefit from this type of training at Dragon Phoenix.”

— Matt
“I have discovered many friends in our community of Tai Chi — we check in on each other — and so thus it is much more personal and caring than a big box gym. Also, Tai Chi has been excellent for my balance, my mind, and my flexibility..”
— Rachel
“I really can’t say enough good things about Mr. Dison and his classes. His background as an elementary school teacher shows in class. He is a positive force in the lives of my children and the practice of Kung Fu is teaching them very valuable tools and lessons.”
— Angel
“I like my class. Its perfect!”
— Azlyn (7ys. old)
“I’ve studied several styles over the years. Aaron is authentic as you can get in a kung-fu teacher. Highly recommend his school.”
— Larry
“Aaron is amazing. There are Kung Fu teachers out there who teach about fighting and protection, which magnetizes such experiences for those who are students of such thinking. Then there are those who teach the true art and nectar of Kung Fu, which is learning the wisdom of the body, earth and cosmos, life force energy. Aaron teaches from an authentic wisdom that guides children toward the importance of cultivating our inner nature. He’s wonderful and highly recommend his studio.”
— Kari
“I highly recommend Dragon Phoenix. Mr. Dison is a superb teacher—he exudes this Zen vibe and is so patient and calm with the students. I’m quite impressed with all that my daughter learns and experiences there—they do a meditation, a short reading each session, and learn about a quality each class (such as perseverance, etc.), along with lots of time engaging in kung fu forms. My daughter has had an absolutely amazing experience there, and recently passed her Level 1 test and is now on her way to studying Tai Chi. She says she wants to be the youngest to go through all of the levels. :) If you’re looking for a place in which your child will learn so much more than simply kung fu forms, I encourage you to enroll in Dragon Phoenix’ classes.”

“Learning Tai Chi as an adult has been challenging and rewarding. Aaron Dison and Bonner as the co-teacher have been patient, and generous of spirit. The lessons we learn during the classes spill into our everyday lives. I have been with this school for over 2 years and have made great friends in the classes due to the small class size. I highly recommend this program.”

— Lori

— Claire
“Dragon Phoenix Kung Fu is the best class I could have wished for, Mr. Dison never pushes us further than we can go and he’s always got new things to teach us in his class. I would recommend his school to anyone wanting to learn Kung Fu, as it has always been a fun experience for me and my friends especially with its wonderful technique and lineage. ”
— Isabelle
“Mr. Dison is a wonderful teacher who is passionate about his work and helping his students grow. He teaches so much more than just the forms. I know my son has grown in confidence, self esteem, cognitive skills, and physically from his classes.”
— Angel
“The patience and attention to form that Mr. Dison demonstrates exemplifies his role as a teacher, yet he’s a perpetual student himself. It’s amazing to watch how he gently guides the kids through poses, tweaks their stances, explains the logic behind a defensive posture and how it positions you for a possible offensive option. All the while, he’s reinforcing character traits like loyalty, humility, courage, respect.”
