5-a-side in the recently concluded Philippine Olympic
Festival Dragon Boat Race held in Baywalk, Manila..
Its been a very uplifting win made by the team knowing
that we've been struggling to be in the top of the
team ranking the grueling gym training the very
exhausting cardio has paid off. We do believe that it
is just the beginning of many victories to come. A big
thanks to our coaches Arvin and Junrey because of
their traning programs this win became possible. lets
work hard and strive for the Gold!! Congratulations

The pioneers of MBP

Manila Blazing Paddles is one of the promising dragon boating clubs to join the fastest growing water sports in Philippines. There are now over 25 dragon boating clubs in the City region, with more people gaining interest joining each season.

So What is Dragon Boat Racing?

Well, firstly it’s a fun and friendly team sport. A dragon boat team consists of 20 paddlers, sitting two abreast in a dragon boat, plus a sweep at the rear and a drummer who sits at the front. Teams can be mixed, or comprise of either men or women.

The ingredients of a successful dragon boating team are timing, strength and endurance, mixed together with great teamwork. Races are exciting for both competitors and spectators as the boats take on an adrenaline charged sprint for victory with every beating of the drum.
With local, national and international events, as well as a multitude of Corporate events, dragon boating is now a common sight on many waterways around Philippines throughout the summer season.
