Warrior of the Dragon Style

Monks of the Dragon Style studied the techniques, strategies, forms, and attributes of Eastern dragons, applying their principles to martial arts. Unlike the Way of the Ascendant Dragon—where the practitioner's spirit resonates with draconic power (such as that of metallic and chromatic dragons)—this style drew inspiration from legends of wise, virtuous, and mystical dragons from the Far East to develop its techniques. It is a close-quarters fighting style that incorporates a wide array of kicks, sweeps, blocks, takedowns, and highly effective rapid strikes. When attacking, one moves like the wind; when defending, like a cloud; when standing firm, like iron; advancing like a tiger and retreating like a cat. The practitioner’s body must maintain a "dragon" form, training the wrists, shoulders, waist, and other joints. Movements are swift and fluid, with every strike finding its mark as the practitioner "waits for the attack, holds the attack, deflects the attack, and follows up with an attack." Grounded in a highly flexible foundation of dynamic footwork, powerful strikes, breathing techniques, and mental and physical sensitivity, the practitioner displays a strong, agile exterior while remaining calm and focused within.
