• Four Dragons Martial Arts was founded on 20th Aug 2007 “The dragon concept relates to the history of Kobun & Dau Draig Dojo’s 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.
  • Within the centre of our logo features the “Zennin pendant” which is made up in 3 parts – symbols for male & female & kanji for zennin (Good People).
