Purple Dragon Team brings victory again to T&T at U.S. Open World Karate Championships 2009 

On Monday 13th July, scores of parents, fans and supporters, accompanied by members of the Laventille Rhythm Section, thronged the Piarco International Airport to meet American Airlines 1819, arriving from Orlando, Florida via Miami. They were there to welcome home the victorious Purple Dragon Karate Team, fresh from their tremendous success at the 2009 U.S. Open Karate Championships, held at the Coronado Springs Resort, Disneyworld. 

The team, led by world-renowned World Champion and champion-maker Professor Don Jacob, was comprised of 3 coaches, 16 competitors and 6 parents/ supporters. The Purple Dragon T&T Team joined 9 other Purple Dragon International schools to form an unstoppable World Team which reigned supreme throughout the 2 days of competition.

 However, it was Purple Dragon T&T’s Sensei Arnold King, (ably assisted by Senseis Kamau Drayton, Floyd Baptiste, Christopher Walton and Antonio Thompson) who brought the audience to their feet, with a riveting and exciting performance which won them the coveted World Self Defence Grand Championship and a spot on ESPN Sports Channel which was shown live to millions of viewers. This clip will also be re-broadcasted on ESPN 2 on July 19th at1.30 p.m.   

The unsponsored Purple Dragon T&T team won 32 Trophies, 6 medals and 1 World Championship Cup and was the only Trinidad and Tobago team to make the Night of Champions. The other T&T teams viewed from the audience. 

Congratulations go out to Professor Don Jacob and his support staff for keeping the National Flag flying high on the international scene. 

The Purple Dragon T&T schools are in the midst of preparing for the 2010 World Karate Championships and Hall of Fame, to be held right here in Trinidad and Tobago from July 16th to 18th 2010, don’t miss it!

_____________________________________________________

We at Purple Dragon International Martial Arts School are very proud of the way that many of the people that we have trained are moving upwards in life and are giving back to their communities and countries.   I bring to your attention a few shining examples to other Purple Dragon members, you can look up to and pursue these students direction. Sensei Gary Hunt is carrying out the function as Minister of Sports and youth affair in Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Peter Taylor is functioning as the Minister of Legal Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago and Mr. Ivor Archie in the position of Chief Justice, the third highest position in the country after the President and Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Patrick Manning. We congratulate them; we challenge our young Purple Dragon students to accomplish greater excellence in learning and achieving the Purple Dragon Black Belt as one never knows what greater opportunity awaits them.

At Purple Dragon, we focus on safety. We set high standards. We pride ourselves on quality. From Instruction to quality control to customer service, we’ve standardized our programme to ensure high standards at all levels of our system. It’s the mission of our founder Professor Don Jacob since 1970 and remains the mission that qualifies and certifies us even  to this day. 

Once you train with Purple Dragon and follow our system, you’ll soon wonder why you didn’t do Don Jitsu Ryu sooner. You’ll realize why words like “tested,” “safety conscious” "committed" and “innovative” define us. Each time  our students or instructor shows up in the  same place with competitors, we just smile and say, “We wouldn’t have it any other way.” Our students know they are getting the training that set past, present, and future standards for martial artists who didn’t have high standards before we came along. 

At Purple Dragon, we have a philosophy about our system (Don Jitsu Ryu) that goes beyond high quality expectations. Our approach to teaching and preparing our students is a little like being on a regular discovery mission – taking what we already know and making it better. That’s why we are among the best in the world. 

Our instructors Contribute to  Success.
Much of our school success comes as a result of the huge commitment of  our Instructors loyalty. Their efforts return to us more than 10-fold. Today, Purple Dragon has progressed from 1 (One) Instructor to over 50 (Fifty) in 41 locations and from 22 students to well over 10,000 thousand Worldwide and over a third have been with us for more than 10 to 30 years. This is a strong factor in why our system is efficient and the quality at our school so consistent. 

As we continue to dominate  in the world sporting industry, we make these commitments to our students and fans.

  • Provide high-quality training at a competitive level.
  • Use the best and most effective Self Defense techniques.
  • Remain committed to, or exceed, our long-held standards for safety and Integrity.
  • Test our Students and Instructors regularly at the Dojo before we give out any belt ranks or certificates.

Why are we so relentless in improving ourselves? Because we care about our students and our organizations successful future.
