At Dragon Gate Academy, we preserve and teach authentic Chinese martial arts as a complete system for personal transformation.
Our training integrates traditional Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and QiGong with meditation and Eastern philosophy, creating warriors who are both physically capable and spiritually aware. Through progressive training in both internal and external arts, students develop not just combat skills, but also inner strength, mental clarity, and spiritual wisdom. Like the legendary carp that leaps the dragon gate to transform into a dragon, our students emerge from their training journey with profound changes in body, mind, and spirit.

Hi, I’m Sifu Matthias
Welcome to Dragon Gate Academy. As your guide on this transformative journey, I bring together traditional Chinese martial arts, meditation practices, and ancient wisdom to help you develop as a complete warrior - in body, mind, and spirit.
My Journey

With over 15 years of martial arts experience, I've dedicated myself to studying Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, QiGong, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Teaching Philosphy
