🎉🥋 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SABUM ASHLEIGH McNAE! 🥋🎉
Today we would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Sabum Ashleigh McNae, 5th Degree Black Belt, Director, Owner and Instructor of McNae’s Martial Arts & Fitness Centre! 🎂🎈
From everyone here at the club, past and present, and from the many people you have supported, coached, encouraged and inspired over the years, we hope you have an absolutely wonderful birthday!
For so many of us, you are much more than just our instructor. You’re someone who believes in us, pushes us when we need it, picks us up when things don’t quite go to plan, celebrates our wins alongside us and somehow always knows when we’re capable of giving just that little bit more. ❤️
You have created so much more than a place for us to train. You’ve created a club that feels like a family, a place where friendships are made, confidence is built, goals are achieved and memories are made that we’ll carry with us for years to come.
We know that so much happens behind the scenes that people don’t always see, the countless hours, planning, organising, coaching, travelling, supporting and probably a fair bit of stressing! 😂 All because you genuinely care about your students and want to see each and every one of us succeed.
We may be the ones stepping onto the mats, competing, grading and achieving our goals, but behind so many of those achievements is you, the Instructor who has spent countless hours helping us get there. 🥋
We are incredibly lucky to have someone who gives so much of herself to her students, her club and the wider martial arts community. There are so many people who are better martial artists and better people because they’ve had you in their corner.
I would also like to add a personal thank you from me as your secretary. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you and be part of everything that happens behind the scenes at the club. Your support and encouragement have helped me grow in confidence, develop new skills and believe more in my own abilities. This opportunity has not only helped me personally, but may also open doors for my future career, and I’m incredibly grateful that you trusted me enough to give me that chance. Thank you for always being so supportive, patient and encouraging. It means more to me than you probably realise. ❤️
So today is about YOU, Miss Ash! 💙 We hope you get the chance to put the coaching, organising, stressing 😂 and looking after everyone else aside for a little while and actually let everyone else celebrate and look after you for a change! 🎂🎉
From your entire McNae’s Martial Arts & Fitness Centre family, thank you for everything you do, for everything you’ve taught us and for all the laughs, lessons, encouragement and memories along the way.
We hope you have the most amazing day. You deserve to be celebrated just as much as you celebrate and support all of us! 🎉❤️
- Miss Tanielle the McNaes Martial Arts Students and Family ❤️🖤
