Edmonton Open ✔️

21 athletes
17 gold 🥇 7 silver 🥈 7 bronze 🥉

But more than the results,
it was amazing to see our team hankook athletes and families truly enjoying the moment.

That’s what matters most.

Not the easiest conditions, but Angel still showed up at the U.S. Open and took on the challenge.

Every big stage brings new lessons. This one gave us plenty.

Now it’s time to go back, train harder, and turn this experience into fuel.
Let’s get ready for a big jump next year!

2026 Canada Open 🇨🇦

We came home with 2 bronze medals, and we’re very proud of that. But more than the results, we know how hard these athletes trained and prepared for this competition.

February was a demanding month competing at Nationals, then the Canada Open, and even going straight to the Alberta Open without much time to recover.

Knowing how much work they put in, we’re proud of every single one of them. They showed great effort and fought through every match.

Thank you Izacc, Maddie, Vanshika, Angel, and Audrey for trusting the process and giving your best every time you step on the mat. Let’s keep building, keep improving, and come back stronger next time. 💪

P.S. Thank you Daniel for capturing amazing moments over the four days! 😂

Two weeks after Nationals,
we look back at the moments that mattered just as much as the medals.

The laughs.
The team dinners.
The parent support.

Yes, we competed hard.
Yes, we brought home medals.

But these moments?
These are the real wins.

Team Hankook is more than a competition team
it’s a family.💛

Thank you to all our parents for the endless support.
We could not do this without you.

What a day at Nationals. 🇨🇦
So proud of our Team Hankook who stepped on the mat, the parents who supported us endlessly, our teammates, and everyone who cheered us on — especially Team Alberta for all the cheer and support. 💙

6 athletes competed. 5 medals came home.
🥇 x1 | 🥈 x2 | 🥉 x2

But medals aside, this week was about growth, courage, and heart.

Angel – The champion returns.
After experiencing Nationals for the first time last year, Angel came back stronger and reclaimed the top spot in just one year. A scary competitor in the best way. 🥇

Audrey – No longer afraid.
She now loves sparring even more than poomsae. From bronze last year to silver this year — Audrey’s future is bright, and next year is already exciting. 🥇

Izacc – The definition of commitment.
A Grade 12 student with straight A’s, balancing an insanely busy schedule while still showing up for every team and individual training. He prepared, fought hard, and gave it everything he had. Proud of you, big guy.

Maddie – First Nationals, endless potential.
A heartbreaking loss(1point🥲), but for a first Nationals, Maddie showed so much promise. This is only the beginning.

Vanshika – The heart of our team.
Unfortunately eliminated in the prelims, but for her first major competition, we hope she learned and absorbed as much as possible. This experience will matter.

Matteo – The talkative warrior.
He may have said he joined because his sister was going😂, but he proved all our worries wrong by giving his absolute best. Let’s grow even more and come back stronger next year.💪

Early mornings, right after school, late evenings, even holidays — whenever i called, these athletes showed up without any excuse.
They made every minute of training worth it with their results and effort.

I couldn’t be more proud of Team Hankook❤️
This team, these kids — truly something special.

From white belt to black belt — every test, every step, every memory.
One of my students surprised me with this gift today, and my heart is so full.
Watching their journey has been an honor.
Moments like this remind me why being a coach is so special.
Thankful beyond words. 🖤
