🥈 USAT Nationals – Day 3
Another incredible day for Team CaliKicks!
Congratulations to Valentino on bringing home the Silver Medal in Board Breaking! 👏🥋
He demonstrated outstanding precision and confidence, successfully completing every break with a different technique. The only deduction came after one board required a second attempt during the Flying Side Kick over one person—but he stayed focused, finished strong, and delivered an outstanding performance.
We couldn't be more proud of your determination, composure, and heart. Every competition is another step forward, and today you represented CaliKicks with excellence.
Congratulations, Valentino! The journey continues! 💙🥈🔥

🥇🇺🇸 USAT National Championships 2026 | Day 2
Charlotte, North Carolina
What a memorable day for Team CaliKicks!
Congratulations to Bryan on becoming the 2026 USAT National Champion in the Junior Sparring -65 kg division! 🥋🔥
Bryan started the day with an outstanding performance, dominating his opening match against a talented athlete from Texas to earn his spot in the finals.
The championship match against Maryland was everything a national final should be. After dropping the first round, Bryan stayed composed, adjusted his strategy, and battled back to win a very close second round. With everything on the line, he entered the third round with incredible determination, taking control of the match and finishing with a commanding lead to claim the National Championship.
Champions are not defined by never facing adversity—they are defined by how they respond to it. Bryan showed resilience, discipline, and the heart of a true competitor.
Congratulations, Bryan! Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off. Your CaliKicks family is incredibly proud of you.
Day 2 comes to an unforgettable close with another incredible achievement for our team. Onward to the next challenge!
