Hello everyone. Master Matt here. Last night was a very bitter/sweet occasion. After lots of prayer, thought and discussions I decided to hang up my gi and pass the torch.
I sincerely want to thank every single student that has passed through the door of TST. The bonds and friendships that have been made over the years have been great and true. I, personally, have learned way more than any of you could have learned from me. And I thank you all for making me a better person and martial artist.
Miss Hannah has officially become the new owner of TST Martial Arts Academy USA. She has been with us since almost day one. She has shown courage, motivation, perseverance, dedication and the willingness to be everything that she can be. She and I have a strong bond that has developed over the years. And needless to say, she has become a daughter to me. She has taught me more than she will ever know. And I am eternally grateful to her. I know without a doubt that she will carry on our traditions and core values. And I know she will continue to grow within herself. Thank you, Hannah, for everything you have done for me. Truly, thank you.
Miss Hannah received her 4th degree last night as well as her Head Instructor certification. Now, the path is laid. One step in front of the other, Hannah.
With Elijah, Asher and Maya by her side they are unstoppable. I could not have left it in better hands.
Love to you all. Especially our TST family.
