Chinese San Da: Kick - Punch - Throw - Lock

one seamless fighting system

White Dragon's Kickboxing program is based on San Da, a Chinese "free fighting" hand-to-hand self-defense system used by the Chinese military to improve empty handed fighting skills. We place importance on developing real-world fighting ability that's effective in the ring and on the street. That’s why at White Dragon, you’ll learn to combine kicking, punching, elbows and knees, throwing and submission techniques into one seamless fighting system. You’ll also dramatically improve the strength and speed of your kicks and hand strikes by training against both stationary and moving types of contact bags, pads, and mitts. You’ll even have access to specialized throwing dummies to help you develop throws, take-downs, and ground striking.

Develop Real-World Fighting Ability

At White Dragon, the emphasis is always on training safely. Whether you’re working one-on-one with one of our skilled instructors, or in a class training with fellow students, we always make sure that everyone on the mat is following the very best safety practices. So, whether you just want to get into better shape or hone your skills for professional competition, our kickboxing program is the perfect complement to your training routine.

Why not experience White Dragon’s Kickboxing Program for yourself with a free week of classes at any of our eight San Diego County or Temecula locations?

Get Started

Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and San Da

Just as most grappling styles could be traced back to Chinese roots, most Kickboxing styles can also be traced back to China as well. San Da, sometimes referred to as Sanshou, Chinese Boxing, or Chinese Kickboxing, includes many of the same techniques used by professional mixed martial arts fighters today. A novice could easily mistake Sanshou for Muay Thai Boxing mixed with some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

San Da does not have a huge following in the West mainly because it’s not marketed outside of China. This is no reflection against the effectiveness of San Da. In fact, San Da is the chosen martial art for much of China’s military and police forces because it comprises a wide variety of techniques including strikes, throws, sweeps, takedowns, kick catches, elbow & knee strikes, and even ground control skills.

White Dragon will help you develop a well-rounded Kickboxing and Submission Grappling game so you’ll have the skills both in the ring and on the street. Gain the confidence from knowing how to defend yourself and your loved ones in almost any situation!

I was stepping way out of my box when I joined, I would have never thought I would be doing something like this, and not only doing it but loving it as well. It has taught me that no one else is going to make me better at something then myself. Read More

There are many martial art schools in San Diego to choose from but I'm thankful that I found and chose White Dragon. I went in thinking I would learn Tai Chi, but I learned a lot more than that. I learned history, form, posture, respect, self-defense and confidence. Read More

Tai chi training at White Dragon, was the best gift my husband and I gave ourselves the year we turned 50. He wanted to study for the meditative aspects; I wanted some physical activity after years of none. We had no goals and no expectations. Read More
