🥋❤️ What. A. Weekend.
We’re home from Reno, and I’m still taking it all in!
First — Robinson’s Taekwondo–Natomas has THREE NEW BLACK BELTS! 🖤🥋
Congratulations Sparkle, Sebastian & Eliana!
Each had their own struggles along this journey, and some came to a head in the weeks before testing. But when it was time to step on that mat, THEY SHOWED UP. They pushed through, rocked their tests and earned those black belts. I am SO proud of them. ❤️
And then Team Natomas went to WORK! 🔥

🏆 ANNUAL AWARDS DINNER
🥇 Ava — Athlete of the Year
🥇 Mr. Braven — Athlete of the Year
❤️ Maureen & Sparkle Moss — Volunteers of the Year
Ava had one heck of a weekend — National Champion, tournament competitor AND Athlete of the Year! 🏆 And seeing Maureen & Sparkle recognized for everything they do for our TKD family was incredibly special. ❤️
But as proud as I am of the belts, medals, trophies, titles and awards, it’s the people that have me feeling so full.
I watched students encourage each other. Families support one another. Students face nerves, pressure, disappointment and fear — and step onto the mat anyway.
I get a front-row seat to all of it.
I am genuinely humbled that these students and their families have chosen me to help lead them on this journey. I will never take that lightly.
Thank you for trusting me, trusting our instructors and believing in what we’re building at Robinson’s Taekwondo–Natomas. ❤️
We came home with hardware. 🏆
But more importantly, we came home stronger.
I am one VERY proud instructor. ❤️🥋
LET’S GO, NATOMAS!!! 🔥🔥🔥
