🥋 FROM 7-YEAR-OLD BEGINNER TO ATHLETE & LEADER
Ali first walked onto our mats at just 7 years old around the same age as many of our Lil Tigers today. 🐯
He started in our traditional classes, learning the fundamentals and developing a love for Taekwondo. At 11, he joined our Competition Team and discovered his passion for sparring.
Now 14, Ali has spent half his life training with us.
He has grown up on our mats, travelled across Australia representing Mozhdeh Martial Arts and developed into an accomplished young fighter, recently winning gold at major national and international-ranked events.
But the medals are only part of the story.
Today, Ali is also an assistant instructor helping guide younger students who are starting exactly where he once did.
His family has grown with our club too, supporting our community, our events and cheering for the whole team at competitions.
This is what martial arts means to us.
Not just creating successful athletes, but helping young people develop confidence, discipline, resilience, responsibility and leadership.
From student, to competitor, to role model and now assistant instructor we couldn’t be prouder of the young man Ali is becoming.
In Ali’s own words:
“I’m proud to travel across Australia representing Mozhdeh Martial Arts and excited to see where this journey takes me next.”
So are we.
Keep working. Keep learning. Stay humble.
The journey is only beginning. 💙🥋
