Sensei - David Agama

David first started his training in California in Tae Kwon Do at age 15 under Grand Master Chang Pak Kim. After getting his black belt he started to test his skill by sparring with friends and other martial artists. It was there that he traded knowledge with other differently skilled practitioners and found Wing Chun. He studied under his Sifu Kevin Paul and expanded his skill set. Again like before, as David started to test his skill in sparring he ran into a D1 level wrestler. After being dominated in grappling he decided to enroll in Judo.

Competitively, David has competed under the Judo Rule set, achieving multiple medals at the local and National levels. He is currently a Nidan (Second Degree) Black Belt

David started training at Golden Dragon in 2020 and as of August 2022 was made head instructor to continue Judo, martial arts, and the Golden Dragon’s legacy alive. He brings 20 years of experience.

No-Gi Judo Coach - Sean Ferry

Sean began his training in 2004 under John Powell in Shotokan Karate. He joined the Navy in 2008 and was stationed in San Diego, California. During Patrolman School he discovered that the techniques that were taught for restraint and defense were actually from Judo. It peaked his interest so he found the nearest dojo, White Dragon on Imperial Beach and eventually earned his Shodan. While in service he continued to broaden his skill set practicing multiple martial arts under the MMA rule set.
