Purple Dragon ATL

My teacher, Grandmaster Professor Don Jacob, taught me long ago that my meals should be made up of all the colors in the rainbow. He also instilled in me that our health is our greatest wealth.

A healthy diet, along with consistent and disciplined practice of Don Jitsu Ryu, will bring about rewarding health benefits. Practicing Don Jitsu Ryu goes far beyond just kicking and punching; it’s a way of life and a journey to enlightenment.

PS: my protein of choice, not pictured as it was being prepared, is a lean cut of lamb chop.

Our Black Belt Candidates are putting in the work at our Purple Dragon Dojo in Tequesta, FL.

We are incredibly grateful for Grandmaster Professor Don Jacob, whose development of Don Jitsu Ryu provides a unique Martial Arts experience that strengthens both the mind and spirit through rigorous physical practice.

On our first night, under the guidance of Shihan Albert Andrews, 7th Dan Purple Dragon Black Belt, the candidates tackled intense calisthenics and focused on practicing the basics. This allowed them to introduces themselves to themselves; they were able to identify their some of their weak points and Shihan Albert provided examples of ways to improve.

Let’s cheer on our dedicated candidates as they embark on this challenging and transformative journey! Your support and encouragement mean the world to them. 🙌🔥

Today is day 4!

We’re heading to dojos south of Port of Spain holding memories from our trip to 14a Westbury Lane just days ago with Grandmaster Jacob. It was such a blessing to learn about the history of the Don Jitsu Ryu system at the very spot it started 52 years ago.

We had the most amazing welcome at Piarco International Airport last night and here we were this morning at the home of Grandmaster and Mrs. Jacob as we broke bread and opened our hearts, ears and minds to learning.

A huge thank you to Grandmaster Jacob, Mrs. Jacob and the entire Purple Dragon Family here in Trinidad for such a beautiful welcome!
