A poem by one of our black belts...
I am from sprained wrists and ankles, from bruises and blood, from sore shoulders that last for weeks...I AM FROM DRAGON GYM
I am from nunchakus and samurais, from staffs and gum suls, from tap outs and kihaps...I AM FROM DRAGON GYM
I am from kicks and punches, from cinder blocks and boards, from sweat and tears...I AM FROM DRAGON GYM
I am from forms and take downs, from sparring and headgear, from falls and trips...I AM FROM DRAGON GYM
I am from demo and tournaments, from medals and trophies, from passing and success...I AM FROM DRAGON GYM
