Four Dragons Martial Arts was founded on 20th Aug 2007 “The dragon concept relates to the history of Kobun & Dau Draig Dojo both having 2 dragons within it”.
The Dragon represents fighting spirit & wisdom. From the Dragon we learn to “ride the wind” meaning the Dragon is especially noted for its flexibility, it uses simple, basic techniques with a challenging strategy of movement complementary to the opponent’s ( when he advances, I retreat; when he retreats, I advance ). Prefers zigzagging motions. The Dragon has a lot of floating motion and a lot of rising and falling,swinging around, whipping as well as twisting and turning movements to overcome its adversaries. The Dragon helps develop inner strength.
A white circle surrounds the fours coloured Dragons “white a symbol of purity” & the circle is a reflection of what goes around comes around.
