Students and Parents of Dragons Training Center Waukesha and Mukwonago YMCA Classes,

Unfortunately, our instructor coverage has proven to be difficult and instead of having multiple instructors try to cover or cancel individual classes we have decided to postpone classes until further notice at the Waukesha and Mukwonago YMCA locations. All students will hold their rank for when they return and hopefully continue to practice at home until we reestablish classes.

We still offer classes at our Southwest YMCA and West Suburban YMCA locations; we also offer classes at the Oak Creek recreation department. We understand the locations are some distance from the Waukesha and Mukwonago YMCA, however we encourage students to sign up for these locations if it is at all possible to continue their training.

Please stop back soon to find out when we will resume classes at the Waukesha and Mukwonago YMCA.
