PAN AM GAMES 2027 — QUALIFIED 🇨🇦🔥
After years of relentless work, sacrifice, setbacks, injuries, and perseverance, Mahdis has officially qualified for the 2027 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.
Balancing the demands of being a top engineering student while pursuing excellence in sport is no easy task. Through every obstacle, she stayed focused, trusted the process, and never stopped moving forward.
This achievement wasn't given. It was earned through countless hours of training, resilience in the face of adversity, and an unwavering commitment to her goals.
Take a moment to celebrate this milestone—you've earned it.
Then it's time to get back to work.
The journey isn't over. It's just beginning.
See you in Lima. 🇵🇪👊

Junior Nationals 2026.

A weekend filled with courage, growth, resilience, and unforgettable moments.
Behind every athlete is a family making sacrifices, giving support, offering encouragement after tough matches, and celebrating every small victory along the way. That kind of support builds confidence far beyond sport.

What makes this team special is that it feels like family. The athletes push each other, the parents support one another, and everyone stands together through the highs and lows. That environment is powerful.
Proud of every athlete, every parent, and every coach who helped make this journey possible.

The medals matter — but the character, friendships, and community built along the way matter even more. ❤️🥋

🥉 Congratulations to Michele on an incredible BRONZE medal performance at her very first National Championships!
She fought with courage, composure, and absolutely no fear — showing a level of maturity far beyond her experience. Match after match, she stepped onto the mat ready to challenge herself and grow.
So much experience was gained this weekend, and this is only the start of what’s ahead. The skill will continue to develop, but this kind of bravery, heart, and fighting spirit can’t be taught.
Proud of you, Michele. The future is bright 👊🔥

🥉 Congratulations to June on an incredible BRONZE medal performance at the National Championships!
Six hard-fought matches, valuable experience gained, and tremendous growth shown every time she stepped onto the mat. Her heart, determination, and ability to make smart adjustments during matches were outstanding to watch.
This is only the beginning. So much potential, so much growth ahead, and an amazing future in front of her. Proud of the effort, resilience, and composure you showed all weekend, June! 👊🔥

🥉 BRONZE MEDAL for Jonah at the National Championships

An absolute warrior. After breaking his wrist, Jonah stepped back onto the mat and fought through two more matches to secure his place on the podium.
That’s the kind of resilience, heart, and mental toughness that can’t be taught. No excuses. No quitting. Just pure determination and courage under pressure.
Proud of your fight, your grit, and the example you set for everyone around you. The medal is earned — but the character behind it is even more impressive. 👊🔥

Build on Respect. Powered by Confidence.
Every class is more than just movement. Its focus, discipline and real growth you can see.

Come see the difference.

Congratulations to Noah and Mahdis on your bronze medals at the National Championships.
Proud of the hard work, discipline, and courage you showed on the tatami. You gave everything and truly demonstrated world class skill and champion mentality 🥉🔥

High-performance sport is not for the faint of heart. It demands grit, determination, and sacrifice every single day. Perfection can never be achieved—only pursued, refined, and worked on with discipline and purpose. It is this relentless commitment to growth, through challenges and setbacks, that shapes true champions, and true champions you are.

Congratulations to you both, we are all proud.

Special thank you to sensei Hamideh for your tireless work and dedication throughout the season 🙏

Mahdis and Noah will be competing at the National Championships. These two athletes are the embodiment of commitment and discipline, they have worked incredibly hard all season. THIS IS YOUR TIME. DOMINATE. GOLD IS YOURS.
