White Dragon Martial Arts of East County

White Dragon Martial Arts operates at 1331 N Cuyamaca St., Suite A in El Cajon, California. The academy is led locally by Sifu Martin Ferreira, who serves as Chief Instructor of the El Cajon school. Founded originally in 1985 by Master Nathan Fisher, the martial arts organization provides structured traditional and modern combat training for students of all ages. The curriculum blends traditional Chinese martial arts with modern combat conditioning. Disciplines taught include Choy Li Fut Kung Fu for stand-up striking and practical self-defense, Yang style Tai Chi for mobility and balance, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts grappling. Group classes are paired with weekly one-on-one private lessons to develop personalized technical form and precision execution. Children's programs start at age four, instilling concentration, anti-bullying awareness, and mutual respect on the practice floor. Students train in punching combinations, low-impact falling skills, footwork drills, and defensive escapes within a supervised dojo environment. Training sessions and introductory evaluations are arranged directly at the Cuyamaca St dojo in El Cajon.
