Shi-han Sensei Louis Casamassa, a 10th degree black belt is Grand Master of Red
Dragon Karate and founder of the American Karate Kung Fu Federation (A.K.K.F.).
He originated the American Form style. During the 60’s he traveled extensively
throughout the Orient studying many different styles of martial arts. In keeping
with yankee ingenuity and American tradition he took the best 7 major martial
arts forms and combined them into one new powerful and effective style which is
known as the Red Dragon style of martial arts. Red Dragon is a true “American
Original.” Founded in 1965 by former U.S. Marine Corp military police officer
and 10th degree black belt, Louis D. Casamassa. During the 1950’s, he traveled
throughout the land studying with a wide variety of masters in many different
styles of martial arts. He spent decades gaining knowledge, and wisdom along
with a wealth of business information to enhance his ever expanding martial arts
skill. In keeping with Yankee ingenuity and American tradition he used the 7
best major martial art styles and combined them into one new, very powerful and
effective style which is now known as the Red Dragon style of Martial Arts. Our
brand and our system of martial arts was founded upon Grand Master Casamassa’s
love of the Arts. We have flourished for over half a century because of his
ingenuity. Shihan Sensei Casamassa is considered by many to be the “Michelangelo
of Martial Arts” by taking and combining his knowledge, talent, ingenuity and
wisdom, he created an entire system of self defense that is unrivaled and one
that has stood the test of time and has provided generations of Americans with a
great way of experiencing the Martial arts. The Red Dragon Karate program is
unique because of our original approach at mixing the best martial arts styles.
Today, we are widely considered the original “Mixed Martial Art,” Red Dragon
Karate continues to grow because of our focus on developing the best trainers
and instructors who instill character based “Life Skills” in our students. This
teaching of self-discipline, self control, and self esteem when reinforced
within the protocols of a Red Dragon studio, and empower our members to become
responsible, productive leaders in our community.
