The staff is incredible. My kids are learning so much here. They are incredible teachers and incredibly patient. I enjoy watching my kids laugh & Master Murphey crack jokes. The environment is friendly and family friendly.
Master Murphy is a great instructor! He adapts his teaching methods so that every student is successful in his classes! His jokes are always fun!
This school is perfect for all levels and all people no matter your age or ability. The masters here are patient and will work with you. They can push you to find your limits and then show you how to get past them. Little kids. High school students. Adults. You will all learn valuable skills here that you can actually use in real life if called upon.
My daughters love it here. The instructor is patient with my 3yo and 5yo. They have learned so much, feel accomplished with their hard work, and it helps burn off their energy too. They have a nice parents section and even toys for the littles who are waiting for their siblings to finish class.
I got my black belt here and the people are so wonderful. Master Murphy is a wonderful teacher and I always learnt something new! Super cool experience and I’d recommend it to anyone.
out of his way to do home visits during COVID 19
The most dedicated and caring instructor. I know because I remember when he first started over 35 years ago.Congrats bro. Your dedication is very inspirational . Jesus lives
Had the pleasure of training with Joe Murphy back in 1981 under the leader ship of Master Wasmund. Once a flying dragon always a flying dragon. True Korean karate at its finest.
Our children have spent two years working with Master Murphy, we appreciate the attention he puts into the program run in Delavan. Never a dull session
Master Murphy is one of the best teachers you will find. He was great back when I started in 1992 and still is today, as well as a great human being.
While I’m nearly 40 years old, I still remember many of the lessons I learned from Master Murphy as a young child. Great teacher and dedicated to his students.

My daughter joined a month ago and absolutely lives it. She had her first belt move up test on Saturday. She wasbvery nervous but her classmates, Master Murphy and all the instructors help her get past her fears and she Rocked It. I can't wait to see her continue to grow as she keeps learning. This is helping her self confidence, balance, disapline, respect and over all attitude.
My boys started last year (6 and 10 yrs old) and I started early this year. It is a comfortable atmosphere where we've all felt welcomed. The opportunity for learning during classes and during open hours on alternate days reflects Master Murphy and Mrs. Murphy's care and commitment to make us all better.

My boys started last year (6 and 10 yrs old) and I started early this year. It is a comfortable atmosphere where we've all felt welcomed. The opportunity for learning during classes and during open hours on alternate days reflects Master Murphy and Mrs. Murphy's care and commitment to make us all better. Even as an 'old guy' getting started with taekwondo, I've noticed an improvement in my health and flexibility. Growing up, I used to dread the sports practices -- but I actually look forward to these classes. Less
Joe and the Delavan Flying Dragons Team have put together a great Martial Arts program for kids of all ages. Our eight year old grandson loves the program and it has been great for him in terms of developing self-discipline, increasing his level of physical fitness, and building self-confidence.

Joe and the Delavan Flying Dragons Team have put together a great Martial Arts program for kids of all ages. Our eight year old grandson loves the program and it has been great for him in terms of developing self-discipline, increasing his level of physical fitness, and building self-confidence. He is extremely proud of the five trophies he has now won in regional martial arts tournaments: a testament to the quality of training he has been receiving from Master Murphy (aka Joe) and company. He is currently a Green Belt and has set his sights on becoming a Black Belt....and with Joe's encouragement and training I'm sure he will get there. If you are the parent or grandparent of a child who you think might be interested in having fun, getting fit, and developing self-confidence, I encourage you to stop by and have a chat with Joe. Less
I had a positive experience there along with my children for a number of years. Master Murphy is a great instructor. It was a friendly and comfortable atmosphere at the school always. I would recommend it to anybody!
I have been a friend of Master Murphy for over 30 years. I have had a great experience with him as my instructor. He guided me through to black belt and I have had the honor of sitting on testing boards and teaching in his school.

This is a great place to go to, the owner Master Murphy is very nice, and very knowledgeable in his teachings. I went when I was younger, and it was great for me.

This is a great place to go to, the owner Master Murphy is very nice, and very knowledgeable in his teachings. I went when I was younger, and it was great for me. It gave me something to do instead of playing video games all day. It is suitable for all ages to come and learn some self defense, and plus some exercise! I am currently in the United States Army and a lot of his teachings are things that I have been re-taught during our combatives program. All in all I would highly recommend to anyone looking to find a hobby as well as becoming knowledgeable with how to defend yourself. Less
My 6 year old daughter has recently tried the 2 classes and she has now made the choice to continue. Very proud of her and the people are amazing!!
My boys really love coming to class with Master Murphy. they are learning so much every week! Flying dragons has a family feel that's important to me. We're not just a number and that's awesome!
Family friendly. Encouraging and patient. Grow your skills here.
Master Murphy and Mrs. (Master) Murphy will always put a smile on your face!!
One of the best experiences growing up. Taught me about structure, spirit, setting goals, and probably saved my life! I was in a motorcycle accident and walked away from it because I knew how to roll and properly distribute the force of the landing. Highly recommend getting kids involved in this. Will help them become better persons and how to carry themselves through life.
Love our martial arts family! Mr. & Mrs. Murphy are great! My daughter loves class. She is learning strength, determination, persistence, respect, self-defense, about different cultures, confidence. Always leave with a smile on our face. Master Murphy is great with the kids, they love him! He takes the time to work with special needs. With no intimidation.

Always leave with a smile on our face. Master Murphy is great with the kids, they love him! He takes the time to work with special needs. With no intimidation. I even started to work out just to gain strength and balance, not caring about status. Now I'm determined to get my next belt! Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Murphy! Less

Delavan Flying Dragons Dojo is awesome! I have been bringing my daughter here for the last 2-3 years. She is now the age of 7 and already half way to getting her black belt thanks to the instructing of Master Joe Murphy. Throughout the years my daughter has progressed up through the different types of classes he offers (a younger class for basics, and a little more advanced class, etc depending on belt rank). Master Murphy has a great way of figuring out a way to reach and instruct all levels of skill and ability throughout the classes. Of course the lower levels are more basic and not as strict, trying to keep the kids/adults interested in the skill without forcing them to be constantly going going going. He gets down to their level and you can tell he takes a personal interest in all of his students. He is very serious about his craft, but also uses humor to lighten situations and to keep class fun for the younger kids. I really like this since Martial Arts is complex and hard for some children to keep focus. This allows the younger students to see that it isn't all about being intimidated, but learning this great skill can be fun. I am very proud to be associated with this Dojo and with Mr Murphy, as well as his wife (who is also a trained black belt). Since my daughter starting I have noticed her drive to succeed has increased, she is focusing a lot more and Mr Murphy instills respect to all of his students and it really shows with my daughter outside of class (which in this day and age is amazing). My daughter is on track to being Mr Murphys youngest Black Belt and my wife and I couldn't be prouder, and Better yet I know him and his wife feel the same. With Flying Dragons you don't just get a Martial Arts Dojo for learning, you become apart of the family. You get to be apart of helping out the community as well as performing for the community the skills you've learned. My daughter entered the Miss Cornfest Pageant this last summer and used her Mixed Martial Arts as a skill and Mr Murphy was 100% willing to drop whatever he had to come and help her with her little demo. And that is with him doing a demo himself and preparing for being in the parade. His interaction with my daughter and his willingness and drive to see her succeed, not only with mixed martial arts but in life keeps me coming back. You don't get instructors like this anymore and Delavan, Wi is lucky to have such a great man and program in the city. If you are interested in signing up your kids, or even yourself to learn a new skill or even for self defense and would like a more personal instructor. Flying Dragons of Delavan is definitely the place to go! Less
this is a great place to learn martial arts. classes are fun and easy going, building is well lit and in a great place in Delevan right near the park and police station. I love going to class here i now can learn proper technique also crucial forms in a safe energy filled environment, two thumbs up, bring the whole family
My son been in it for 5 almost 6years in February he is a black belt now loves to go and work out it's a great positive thing in his life that's why we like it so much! !!!!!
I always enjoyed learning from everyone and helping instruct when I had the chance. We had fun but we also worked hard when we had to! Ah to be young again lol!
Is this place for real? The "instructor" stands around for half the class telling tasteless jokes. There is no program at this place. The building is awful. It's run-down and in need of repairs, including the ceiling. I took my son to a real martial arts school, and now he is actually learning what he never did over there.

Having students that don't know what they're doing, teaching classes is a joke too. Just disgusted with the whole thing. If you're looking for a good martial arts program, this is not the place. Less
