Grandmaster Valery Prosvirov offers the perfect training program for the physical development and rehabilitation of retired professional athletes.
The end of an athlete's playing career should not be marked by declining health or the deterioration of their once-dynamic physical abilities. Athletes should not have to live with agonizing pain for the rest of their lives. No, it is not natural for the body to suffer.
Traditional Chinese Martial Arts is a path to ageless health and improvement within one's body. At 50-years-old, Master Valery is stronger, faster, more flexible, more skillful, and has greater stamina than ever before. The correct practice of traditional techniques and methods will enable him to improve, develop, and perfect his body for decades to come. With his guidance, you can do the same for yourself.
Turning to medication to improve your quality of life is the easy way, but was your path to greatness easy? Modern Physical Therapists claimed they could improve the quality of your life, but did they?
These medications and therapy methods neglect the body as a complete system in their treatment of mistakenly diagnosed “isolated” issues.
There is nothing “isolated” within a human life. Traditional Chinese Martial Arts training with Master Valery focuses on the complete health and wellness of your body, and guarantees you the best experience in all the aspects of your life-- mental, physical, emotional, and social. There is a healthy way to continue your lifelong pursuit of physical excellence. There is a cure for your aches and pains. There is a way to reclaim and expand your physical abilities. That way is through training with Grand Master Valery Prosvirov.

On February 26th, the Golden Dragon celebrated the Russian Holiday Maslenitsa.
Maslenitsa is traditionally celebrated to mark the end of the harsh Russian Winter. It is a week-long festival of pancakes and parties, taking place in the seven days before lent. Russians expertly gather for fun and food, and we enjoy sweet and savory "blinis" (Russian Pancakes) all week as the official flavor of Maslenitsa.

Winter in Los Angeles is certainly different from Winter in Moscow--a little more sun, a few less snowballs, and no dangerous icicles falling from the buildings--but our heritage, the coming of Spring, and delicious Blinis will always be worthy of celebration.

The Golden Dragon welcomed the Fire Rooster to Los Angeles at our annual Chinese New Year Party.
The taste of delicious desserts mingled with the smell of authentic Chinese tea as students and friends gathered to celebrate.
The event was highlighted by a lecture from our Headmaster Valery Prosvirov - who contemplated the excitement of the new year, and emphasized the opportunities and challenges that meet us with each and every new day.
The lecture was followed by a performance by Sky Shachory, who was introduced as the school's new instructor assistant. Sky performed both Yang and Wudang style Tai Chi in a form specially choreographed by our Headmaster.
The Golden Dragon is a community and a family. We come together daily to train, to learn, to get healthy, and to have fun. We throw awesome parties to celebrate special occasions, but we can always find reason to celebrate our enthusiasm for each other and Kung Fu.
We appreciate everyone who joined us. We hope to see you soon. May the Fire Rooster bring a great year to us all!

Golden Dragon Instructor Dmitry Prosvirov led a Kung Fu Master Class at the Los Angeles Charity Event "Have Fun and Save Lives". The proceeds of the event went towards providing food and shelter to children in war-torn Ukraine. We at the Golden Dragon wish something better for all the children of the world. Kudos to Dmitry and all the attendees, who had a good time for a great cause.

Valery Nicholaevich Prosvirov:
When I was a young boy, I started watching old-school kung fu movies, mimicking the moves I saw on the screen. Honestly, every martial artist these days probably has a passion story that starts out like this, but my aspect became unique when I began to pay attention to the stories in most of these films. Stories such as Kids from ShaoLin, the Prodigal Son, 36 Chambers and the like all had a common theme – a student under the direct tutelage of a master who had proven his worth before taking on the student. It then became one of my lifelong dreams to train directly under a martial arts master while living in the dojo old-school style, then eventually take a Warrior's World Journey toward enlightenment when I was made ready (like 'Bruce' Leroy Green or Ryu from Street Fighter). I never thought I would actually be living that dream. Yet, here I am, under the tutelage of THE BEST martial artist I've ever known, Grandmaster Valery Prosvirov.05.11.2016
Valery is a true master of Kung Fu. He might be the only real one on earth.
His programs and classes are amazing for body development, health, coordination, and technique--I have discovered a lot more of the perks of being human since I began training at the Golden Dragon.
I have been coming here nearly every day for four months. The classes are always challenging and always fun. It's a lively, focused environment. The teaching is dedicated and inspired and extremely professional-- and I think everybody in class feels inspired by eachother.
It seems almost everybody that comes here has a story about why they chose to take their health and well-being more seriously. We all faced harsh truths and felt a call to action--and somehow it seems to have led us all to the Golden Dragon.
Valery is so knowledgeable and so thoroughly authentic--anybody with interest in real Martial Arts should meet him. Anybody looking to become healthier and more physically capable should come talk to him. His technique is something to see--he has so much knowledge and fighting experience to share, and his physical condition is unmatched by anybody else in town.
Kung Fu is much more than a business for him--it is his life, his path to reality, self-realization, and proper health . I think he is keeping Kung Fu and Tai Chi and Chi Gong alive for the future. It is a serious undertaking and classes here reflect this dedication.

It is a well known statistic that about 70% of small businesses fail within the first year. After that, it's said, the best formula for keeping a successful business alive is loyalty to clients, a product that people can rely upon, and a strong network. All of those bases are covered here at Kung Fu of Golden Dragon, which is why we are proud to celebrate our 4th Anniversary in business here in the United States. Our dojo on Santa Monica Blvd. was bustling with friends and family all gathered for the awesome festivities. What's more, not only were we celebrating the school, but also the birthday of our Head Instructor, Grandmaster Valery Prosvirov.
