From Jombola to DragonShot — The Journey
The Birth of an Idea
In 2012, the sport began on a worn-out tennis court in Kuala Lumpur. When weekly sessions were often disrupted, founder Sukdev Singh started experimenting with a new style of play against a practice wall.
That simple idea became the foundation of DragonShot.
The Quest for the Perfect Ball
Many prototypes were tested — soft balls, hard balls, inflated balls, and solid designs. After multiple trials, the ideal foam ball was created.
It offered safety, control, durability, and the unique bounce that defines DragonShot today.
The First Game
A badminton court proved to be the perfect playing surface. At Sri Dasmesh School, students quickly embraced the sport, confirming that a new game had arrived.
Naming & Evolution
The sport was first introduced as Jombola. As its vision expanded internationally, it evolved into DragonShot — a name chosen to capture fiery spirit, precision, and competitive energy.
The First Tournament
The first official DragonShot Tournament, then known as Jombola, was held at Tunku Abdul Rahman College (now TAR UMT) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
This historic tournament brought together staff and students who became the world’s first official competitors of the sport.
The tournament was umpired by Sukdev Singh, Afriyadi Faruk, Mohammad Shafie Asdi, and Lukmanul Hakim Sanusi.
It remains one of the most important milestones in DragonShot history.
The Game
Rally scoring applies — a point is awarded on every rally, regardless of who served.
Players compete on opposite sides of a court divided by a net, aiming to strike the DragonShot ball cleanly into the opponent’s side while following official rules.
DragonShot is where soft touch meets explosive energy — a sport of timing, skill, and strategy.
Why People Love It
DragonShot is easy to learn, exciting to play, and suitable for schools, families, fitness communities, and competitive tournaments.
It combines movement, focus, teamwork, and fun in one unique sporting experience.
