Question 1

What exactly is the Dragon's Firewalk?

Accepted Answer

Participants will undergo training of around one hour. When the fire has burned to red-hot embers it is raked level and prepared for the walk. Participants go to the fire, remove their footwear and one by one are invited to walk the coals.

Question 2

Is firewalking a trick?

Accepted Answer

No – the fire is very real. The embers will be glowing red-hot and the temperature is at around 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. You will have bare feet, and they will not have been treated in any way.

Question 3

Does firewalking hurt?

Accepted Answer

The sensation is described by some as walking on eggshells, and others as walking on hot sand. Each walker has his or her own experience. We have not known walkers to experience pain and walkers are often keen to repeat the experience.

Question 4

How should I prepare for the Dragon's Firewalk?

Accepted Answer

There is no preparation to undertake, just the training provided to the walkers at the seminar. You must abstain from the consumption of alcohol or drugs prior to the event. Any person who is in the opinion of the trainer unfit to participate will NOT be permitted to take part.

Question 5

What should I wear for the Dragon's Firewalk?

Accepted Answer

There is no special clothing required. Casual comfortable clothes are best. Please remember fires can be quite dirty and clothes may become ash stained. Footwear needs to be easy to remove (e.g. flip flops), and will need to be replaced before going back indoors so a hand towel might be a good idea.

Question 6

Are there any medical restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Many people walk who are pregnant, have diabetes, stroke survivors, and are blind amongst many other conditions. None have been an issue, however we always recommend if in doubt seek advice from your doctor.

Question 7

Is firewalking safe?

Accepted Answer

There is an inherent risk in any activity involving fire. It is important that participants pay attention to all the training and heed the advice and instruction of the trainer, firewatchers and spotters. Whilst absolute safety is not guaranteed proper procedure reduces risk to the minimum

Question 8

Is there a minimum age requirement to take part in the Firewalk?

Accepted Answer

In order to participate in The Dragon's Firewalk, walkers are required to be a minimum of 16 years of age on 15th September 2023.
