Bringing my best this year is going to take everything I have and more.

I'm rebuilding strength, endurance, and body mechanics with a new body structure that I'm still adjusting to.

Time is not on my side so everyday counts. Short training sessions are getting longer, gentle movements are becoming crisper, and speed and power are reigniting.

Congratulations Team Suibukan 👏

🥋 The Path to WUKF World Championships

The journey begins locally:

👉 District Qualifier Events
Athletes begin by competing at district-level tournaments. We strongly recommend competing in more than one event to gain experience and preparation.

👉 West Virginia District Championship – June 13, 2026
The AAU Karate WV District Championship, being held June 13, 2026, is a key event in this pathway. Competing at the district championship qualifies athletes for AAU Nationals and Junior Olympics.

👉 AAU National Championships
At nationals, black belt athletes who medal are placed into the selection pool for Team USA opportunities.

🧑‍🏫 More Than Competition – Building the Whole Athlete

The West Virginia District is committed to development at every level. We provide access to:

Coaching education
Referee certification and training
Technical seminars in:

Kata
Kobudo
Kumite
Athlete development opportunities

Whether you are an athlete, coach, or official, the district provides access to growth, education, and opportunity.

⚠️ Important for Competitors

If you want to have a good experience competing:

👉 Learn the rules.

Understanding scoring, penalties, and expectations makes a major difference in performance and overall experience. The more prepared you are, the more confident and successful you will be on the floor.

🌎 It Starts Here

Opportunities to compete on the world stage begin locally.

If you want to:

Test yourself
Grow as a competitor
And pursue international opportunities

👉 It starts by stepping on the floor at a district event.

🤝 Looking Ahead

Our sincere hope is that in the future we will see athletes from multiple clubs across West Virginia representing Team USA and competing on the world stage. Building those opportunities together is how we continue to grow the sport throughout our state.

Congratulations again to our West Virginia athletes representing Team USA. We are proud of your hard work and look forward to your performance on the world stage.

Cancer isn't winning today, 6 months ago I wasn't sure I'd even be able to stand on the mats this year. North American Open is an amazing event with top level competition from all over the world and one of the 2 AAU Karate qualifiers for WUKF World Karate Worlds, so competing here is critical in order to be considered to be on the team to make it to that world stage.

I woke up Saturday with emotions flooding, tears that I couldn't contain even on the mat while doing kata, and nerves like I'd never felt before. Most of the feelings were just being grateful to be here, an overwhelming sense of love from our karate family, the AAU community especially Axsom Martial Arts, Triangle's Best Karate, and KeikoShin Wesley Chapel, pride in the kiddos we have brought to the event because regardless of the medal count, they have grown and improved so much these last 6 months, but yes their was ANGER from feeling behind the eight ball as a result of thing I didn't get to choose.

A Gold, a Silver, and Bronze medal later, I'm walking away filled with emotions, but proud of what I have been able to do and ready to keep working to be even better than before 💪. Not because I have anything to prove, but because I have more to give, and more to leave on the mats before my journey as a competitor is over, if it does ever end 😉
