Battle of Warriors 2026 Photo Dump
Great event, beautiful venue, our students had fun & gained valuable stress-test ring experience.
We never take enough photos - but glad to have found at least 10 pictures of smiling students (and families!) to fill the post.

Congratulations to the students who achieved Black Belt at the 50th Black Belt World Canada Testing! 🎉

We are especially proud in Kitchener of our 7 hometown students : Andre, Daniela, Dora, Kasra, Koichi, Noah, & Virajas. We have witnessed their hard work and dedication firsthand, and they have a bright future ahead in Taekwondo (and in life). 🤩

A black belt is a white belt who never quit 🥋

I hope to see more Kitchener students test for Black Belt in 2026! 💪🏻

Korea 2025 with Black Belt World HP Team 🇰🇷🇨🇦

We started at the famous Ganghwa school where we trained with their high school, university and pro teams. Ganghwa’s World Champion Bae Jun-Seo came by for a sparring session. Ganghwa is Grandmaster Tommy Chang’s hometown and he has a close relationship with the Head Coach Master Yeom, who was recently appointed Korean National Team Coach.

Next was the National Training Centre for a training session with the Cadet National Team. The Senior National Team, who were preparing for the Muju Grand Prix, signed autographs for the Cadets and then went into their training session that we got to join. It was a treat to see so many World and Olympic champions in one room! It’s rare for foreigners to be invited in.

Our last stop was a visit to the Kukkiwon with the President, and our friend Grandmaster Jung.

Overall it was a fantastic opportunity and I can’t wait to go back next year to bring back the newest knowledge from Korea, the homeland of Taekwondo. I hope to bring some Kitchener students next time!

Highlights from the 2025 Tri Star Tournament. It was a great venue and a very well run event. This was the first tournament experience for most of our 18 students who attended, and a very positive experience overall. I am immensely proud of all our athletes (and coach-in-training Utku Cem), and we are excited to be back at the dojang getting ready for the next one! 💪🏻

2025 Battle of Warriors Highlights. It was a long, long day, but our students made a lot of progress towards achieving their long term goals in Taekwondo. We are building a great team and community in Kitchener and this was evident on Sunday. Tournaments contribute greatly to the personal growth and development of Taekwondo students and are an invaluable experience.

Highlights from our 2025 Red Cross First Aid CPR Training Session. I am grateful everyone eagerly took time out of their weekend for such an important purpose - supporting the health and safety of our staff, students and parents.
