The mission of Dueling Dragons is to use this ancient sport to build trust and long-term mentoring relationships at a critical time in the lives of both cops and kids in some of the city's toughest neighborhoods.

The first program of its kind in the country, Dueling Dragons garnered nationalattention thanks to a feature story by the Today Show.
