It sucks that it took 2020 for America to recognize the emancipation of slaves as a federal holiday...but hey, it's always been baby steps for us minorities.

With that said, I can proudly say that Iron Dragon will be closed today. We operate put of a City building, and since it's a federal holiday, the Civic Center is CLOSED today. Y'all enjoy your day!

We have a State Champ!!! 🏆👏👏👏

Michael did a great job today, placing 1st out of 4 in Point Sparring and 2nd out of 4 in Open Hand Forms. His hard work in the dojang definitely paid off. I guess we're taking that duct tape off his purple belt come Tuesday! 💪🏾🥋🙏🏽

Huge THANK YOU to my students and their parents for making it out to Spar Wars 2024. I was stuck helping judge at a ring, but I hope y'all had a good experience. From the little bit I was able to catch in-between divisions, y'all did good. Afterwards, I even had a few instructors telling me they were impressed with y'alls forms and sparring. You kids make me proud! ❤️🙏🏽🥋

Rest up, and see y'all on Tuesday, kiddos!!!

May the 4th be with you!!!

We're at the Rowan County Fairgrounds for the annual Relay for Life event. We'll be doing a short demonstration of what we teach at 6pm, so if y'all have time, come check us out!

I want to take a moment and congratulate Edward, Shaun, and Michael on their recent belt promotions.

Edward has been diligent in his training and was promoted from Yellow to Senior Orange Belt.

Shaun has been with me for several years, even before the pandemic. At one point he wanted to quit so that he could have more time to play video games 😅 but I'm glad he stuck with his martial arts training. While I'm proud of all my students, I have to admit that little Shaun is my pride and joy (sorry, kids lol). He's small for his age, and usually has to face bigger opponents, even in tournaments, but he's shown perseverance, an indomitable spirit, and a determination to improve every single day. And now, being promoted from Orange to Green Belt, he is officially the highest belt I have promoted to, of the students who started with me as "no belts"/beginners. I've promoted another student to Senior Brown Belt, Zara, but she came to Iron Dragon as a Blue Belt and Mr. Rose promoted her to Purple. And this next student I'm going to talk about, Michael, came to our school as an Orange Belt from Mr. Ronnie Isenhour.

Now, to talk about Michael. He had a good base from his previous school, but I'd like to think I've improved his overall striking skills tremendously. I'd like to take most of the credit, but his own efforts need to be taken into account. Just as the previous students I've mentioned, he is diligent with his training and seeks to improve every single day, but one thing that separates him from the rest is his keen attention to detail, whether it be on forms or striking techniques. It must be that Army background lol. His forms are on point, his point sparring skills have improved with the help of seminars, constant drilling, and tournament participation. Even his boxing skills, old school kickboxing AKA high-kick kickboxing, and even low-kick kickboxing skills (international rules) have seen growth and improvement. He'll be getting into the point kickboxing (semi contact) circuit soon, so keep an eye out. With all that said, he was promoted from Green to Probationary Purple Belt, skipping his Blue Belt.

I'm looking forward to the continuous growth of ALL my students, but let's take a moment to congratulate these three hard workers.

Really good Times.

Hope y'all had & have a good New Year!!!

We have the first tournament of the season the first weekend of February, on 2/3/24 in Clemmons, NC. More details to come.

Hope to see all the students on the mats tomorrow! 👊🏽 💪🏾🥋

Good afternoon! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.

Reminder: we are closed today, but will be back in session Wednesday and Thursday this week.

See y'all on the mats!
