"Yong Sim Jang" Dragon Heart Award

At each testing, every student is considered as a recipient of the "Dragon Heart Award". This is a much coveted and sought after honor, because the winner is the student who best demonstrates, on test day, those qualities of true Martial Spirit! Those qualities are "A winning attitude tempered with a proper amount of humility and determination to never quit, even in the face of adversity"!
Every student, at every testing, should set their goal to win this award!
Only two students, in the entire history of this school, have ever won this award twice.

When a student is named "Dragon Heart" (Yong Sim Jang) it becomes part of his/her fighting name and the word "SimJang" (Korean for heart) is lettered above the student's fighting name. In the event the student is below the rank of 6th Green, his/her fighting name will be "SimJang" no matter what the rank. The word "SimJang" will be considered a title for all recipients. A certificate and/or Medal, along with the DH patch* will be awarded to the winner and that student will be addressed as "Dragon Heart" for the duration of the current test cycle.
The "Dragon Heart" Creed should be recited at the beginning of every class.
* The patch should be worn centered on the outside cuff, 1" from the bottom of the right leg.
