A New Home. A Bigger Vision. The Same RDS Spirit.
After nearly two decades of transforming lives through martial arts, fitness and immersive training experiences around the world, Rising Dragon School has entered its biggest chapter yet.
RDS is now based at our new headquarters in Bohol, Philippines — a purpose-built environment for martial arts training, physical transformation, recovery and personal development.
Our new home brings together traditional martial arts and modern performance training, with dedicated training halls, a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, recovery facilities, accommodation and extensive outdoor training areas — all within one residential campus.
Take a tour of the new RDS headquarters and see what we have created.
Our completely redesigned RDS website is currently under construction. In the meantime, this website remains online to provide information about our history, philosophy and programs. Some older pages may still refer to our former locations in China and Sweden.

Proudly NOT FOR PROFIT
In 2018, RDS founder Scott Bird, began transforming RDS China from a profitable business into a non-profit organisation, dedicating his kung fu school in China to improving the lives of orphans and underprivileged children. His vision, to illuminate the paths of these young souls with confidence, self-worth, and discipline empowering them to overcome adversity and embrace a future filled with promise and success.
Since the beginning, RDS has provided support to local orphanages and embraced the hearts of the less fortunate through the RDS scholarship program. Now, a powerful shift takes place as everyone becomes an integral part of the cause when they attend kung fu training in China at RDS!
Within the sacred halls of Rising Dragon Martial Arts School China, an extraordinary phenomenon unfolds. As individuals step into this space of self-improvement, they embark on a journey of personal growth, unaware of the profound impact they will have. It is a captivating dance of destiny, where those seeking exceptional training find themselves effortlessly aligned with a higher purpose: uplifting underprivileged children.
With each punch and kick, your skills are honed, and seeds of hope and transformation are sown. Every penny invested in your training becomes a meaningful gesture, automatically contributing to the betterment of young lives in need. Together, at our martial arts school, we become the change and lay the path toward a brighter future for children in need!
