Dragon Star kung fu has been open since 2007. The kung fu style we teach is kajukenbo northern tum pai. It’s roots stem back to sijo emperado's kajukenbo self defense system, which was developed in the late 40's, as a combative street art. Northern tum pai was introduced by grand-master Jon Loren as a defensive art that controls and develops the movement of centerline. With this art, a student learns how to stay away from negative energy, and to be strong enough to walk away from bullies. Kung fu is very circular with its movements, and has many designed blocking techniques that assure one’s safety. We have classes for boys and girls of all ages, and teens and adults too! Our classes are fun, exciting, and dynamic! Your focus, awareness, mobility, balance, power & speed, respect, endurance, and proper breathing, will all increase in just a couple of classes! Each certified instructor has over 20 years experience in kung fu, and will bring out the best in you. Come in and let your Kajukenbo kung fu journey begin!

I am so glad I found Dragon Star Kung Fu and Sifu Tom and Benita. The energy in the school is great. You get real Tum Pai Kajukenbo and quality training without any ego. There are usually several other Sifus and black belts in class to help the newer students. Definitely the best Kung Fu school I have ever trained at.

Sifu Tom is a true Practitioner of living the principles of Kung Fu. He wants to develop solid leaders who thrive in the real world, have respect and work hard. He is a natural teacher and is not into fancy moves. He is into self defense and fundamentals that are life saving. My daughter has thrived under his supervision! He creates a team work atmosphere where the kids all support each other. We have enjoyed her 3 years and look forward to more!

I love this place! The instructors are very nice and encouraging. We put our daughter in classes at 4, and after watching all the fun she had both my husband and I decided to join. That was 4 years ago and we are still all going! Best work out I have found and I am more confident then I have ever been.

I have been here training off and on for 12 yrs. The dynamic of this school has always stayed the same over the years. Every time I walk through the doors I'm feel like family and am greeted with love and respect! I am currently training here and will continue in Northern Kajukenbo Tum Pai until I die. The Sifu's Black Belts and Under belts are all very respectful and willing to help where needed. Sifu Tom and Sifu Benita have opened and maintained the best Kung Fu School I've ever been to and have the privilege to call my family!

These are just a few words to describe the Teachers at Dragon Star. I have been a student for 8 years and the Byrne family owner/operators are amazing people. Kids and adults learn how to be their best and excel in anything they do. Very supportive and knowledgeable. Love this family! Wonderful school!

Sifu Tom and Sifu Benita are absolutely the two best instructors I've ever had the honor of training under. My daughter also has learned so much, not only about self defense, safety and fitness, but about respect and responsibility. No doubt about it, Dragon Star is the best MA school in Vancouver. The real deal.

I love this school! The instructors are experts in their craft and are great with kids and teens. They have taught my children Kung Fu and how to be responsible thoughtful members of our family and society. I can't imagine not having this school be a part of our family. When you enroll here, the instructors really care about the students and want the absolute best for them.

We love Dragon Star Kung Fu! Our kids really enjoy learning this style of martial arts and they have a lot of fun doing it! Sifu Tom and Sifu Tommy are great with the kids! My son has ADHD and can be a handful at times. They are so patient with him all the time teaching him focus and discipline. There are mega schools out there for martial arts with 30+ kids on the floor, at all levels, but that’s not this school and that’s what we love about it. Less students on the floor, with only kids around their skill level, makes a perfect learning environment and personalized attention! We love our Kung fu family at Dragon Star Kung Fu and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a school where your kids will be safe, nurtured and taught the discipline, respect and technique of Kung fu!

Dragon Star Kung Fu is exactly what their pledge says. They help the students to develop themselves in a positive manor. They instill confidence in students to avoid anything that will reduce mental growth/ self development. The students work as a team to develop the best in themselves and the other students. The Sifus work on developing common sense before self defense. This is a Kung Fu school; they don’t babysit they teach a martial art that could save your life. They strive for excellence. They are motivated. The best part is the dedication from both teachers and students. My kids all started when they were 4 years old. We’re going on 13 years now.

My son has been going to Dragon Star for over two years. I had been to a few other martial arts establishments in the area before coming to Dragon Star and just didn't feel comfortable with them. I liked that there weren't teenagers teaching the kids at Dragon Star. It was always Sifu Tom or Benita who were teaching. They have been patient and yet commanded respect. It felt very much like a family atmosphere. I was also looking for my son to be taught a practical style. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is so much more than a martial art that is taught at this school. One of my favorite parts of the training from the very beginning was the little life lessons that are given throughout and that at the end of every class the students are asked to turn to their parent and basically express gratitude and appreciation. The change in my son was immediate and I couldn't have found a better match for him. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for more than just a physical activity or even a sport.
