About Us | Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai school in Coral Springs | American Dragon Martial Arts Academy

WE KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING
FINDING A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL CAN BE.

We began our martial arts journeys at different points in our lives and the positive impact it had on us was remarkable. Little did we know that beginning our martial arts journeys would be one of the most profound experiences of our lives!

When we opened our school in 1997, we made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Coral Springs by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

American Dragon Martial Arts Academy is the first and only Martial Arts School in Broward County certified to teach Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. Our Chief Instructor, Sifu Neil Cauliffe is trained directly under Sifu Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee’s partner, and Protégée.

We Share & teach The Same Values You Teach At Home.

Our programs have a strong focus on personal development. The foundations of our morals, values and core character traits are formed in our early years. For this reason, the programs at American Dragon Martial Arts Academy are an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of young students of all ages.

Our school has become a community of learning and growth. As soon as you walk through the door, you will feel the family-friendly atmosphere that defines us and will feel comfortable right from the start.

WHAT IS JEET KUNE DO

Jeet Kune Do is the style of martial arts practiced by American Dragon Martial Arts Academy students. We are one of only 3 schools in the state of Florida certified to teach Jeet Kune Do, the art and philosophy of Bruce Lee himself. Our chief instructor, Sifu Neil Cauliffe, is a second-generation instructor in Bruce Lee's lineage and is trained directly under Sifu Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's partner and Protege.

Decades before anyone ever heard of "Mixed Martial Arts", the legendary Bruce Lee developed a revolutionary martial art training process, which combined different aspects, principles, and techniques of various martial arts Styles. Bruce Lee named his process “Jeet Kune Do”, and is the foundation of our teaching at American Dragon Martial Arts Academy.

The journey from White Belt to Black Belt is one of incremental learning and skill development, that students of any age and fitness level can embark on.

I have to say that American Dragon Martial Arts Academy is the best Academy you could ever join. These instructors are experienced and excellent! It's a great school and a great atmosphere. Best adult, teen, and kids program around!

Dan Timlin

From day one, I knew this was the right place for our son. The attention the staff gives to our son, Joey is amazing. I love the-as I call it- “rigid flexibility” they offer; expecting and understanding that there are rules to follow yet treating each child as an individual. My wife I know within our hearts that our son simply wouldn’t be this far along in his emotional and disciplinary path had it not been for American Dragon Martial Arts Academy. As a funny side note, whenever there are rare times my son doesn’t listen with first-time compliance I ...shall we say ....posture to call Mr. Thompson (one of his karate instructors) and it’s amazing how quickly he falls right back in line! Thank you, Sifu Helena, Mrs. Christman, Mr. Thompson, and all who pour their energy and efforts into our son Joseph. “It takes a village to raise a child.”

This is a place where you can come to train in a well-organized fashion. You can get a great cardio workout as well as self-defense moves that can work in most situations.

I placed my son in this school last year due to his self-confidence issues. It was the best decision I ever made. American Dragon Martial Arts Academy is a true family. They take their time and train their students of the true essence of Martial Arts. They hold everyone accountable and make their students earn each belt which in turn, gives the student a higher sense of self-esteem. My son’s confidence and self-discipline have increased so much. Thank you American Dragon for everything!

There are many choices in Coral Springs when it comes to Martial Arts, BUT you will not find a place where they train your children to become outstanding citizens. The core values they teach will change the destiny of your child, more than martial arts your child will learn respect, manners, and perseverance. I wish schools would take the time to instill principles like these into our children. My child battled bullying and low self-esteem, I don’t know what would have happened if we hadn’t found this Academy. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Nathaly Muller

My daughter and I have been going to this academy for over 2 years. It has impacted our lives in such a positive way. The staff are amazing and treat you like a member of their family. Great curriculum, highly recommend.

Ruth Webster

Both of my children are enrolled (my 5 yr old just started) and my 10-year-old has been in for a number of years. Sifu Helana offers an incredible program and it has made a huge difference in my son's discipline, focus, and schoolwork which now he's achieved advanced level classes in fifth grade. Great school and highly recommend.

My son has improved tremendously when it comes to behavior, self-esteem, following directions, and concentration! I really thank you guys for this life-changing experience for my family! I can’t wait to see him never giving up and becoming a Black belt.

My husband and I and our two kids go to this martial arts academy and it is has been great for focus, strength, and perseverance. Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee style martial arts. Not a school just about giving away the belts and just taking your money. You actually learn different skills every week. Highly recommend this school to everyone.

Aliea Khayoum Jadoo

An excellent institution, my sons have been going here a few years now and it is a very positive element in their development. The improvement in their physical and mental skills is quite noticeable.

John Ferraiuolo

If you want your kids to grow up with focus and discipline bring them here. I trained here. Two of my daughters trained here. My daughter in law trained here. My grandson started here when he was 3, he will be 8 next month. This academy stresses families and good core values. I can't think of a better place to learn and grow.

Sheryl Johnston

5 Stars! Why else would I have spent the last 17 years training in the academy!

Sharon Christman

Nothing bad to say. Everyone is amazing. Patient, willing to help, and always doing something for the kids and families. I'm so happy that we made the decision to be with American Dragon!
