The Spirit Behind The Winged Dragon
At the heart of The Winged Dragon is a philosophy that balances discipline, self-growth, and practical skills. Our academy is led by Shihan Lucky Pandelidis, an MAIA-accredited instructor with over 40 years of martial arts experience — including a 4th Dan Black Belt in Goju Ryu Karate and a 1st Dan in MMA.
His background spans traditional training and real-world application, from instructing students of all ages to working in high-level security roles at venues like the MCG and Flemington Racecourse.
Today, that experience shapes everything we teach — blending time-honoured technique with practical street self-defence, in a space where every student’s path is respected.
