Located in the heart of Morristown, TN, we specialize in teaching children, teens, and adults the power of martial arts through structured programs in Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and Fitness Kickboxing.

Our mission is simple: to help every student become the strongest version of themselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I’m Bill Whitworth, Owner here at Red Dragon Martial Arts.
As a martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.
But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life.
Because martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt.
It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect.
With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body and character.
That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. Through learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness and self-respect.
And of course it’s a ton of FUN!
That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in this community, and why I know your kids are going to LOVE training.
Don’t just take our word for it—see why families across Morristown, TN trust RD Karate for life-changing martial arts training.
