I always tell my students to dream big. Now, it’s my turn to lead by example. 👊

I’ve qualified for the Asian Championship in Kazakhstan, but I can't climb this mountain alone. I’m asking for your support to help me complete this mission.

JANUARY WRAP-UP & FEBRUARY FEELS ✨🥊

​We spent January moving fast—drills, footwork, and agility were the names of the game. Now that we’ve built the engine, it’s time to polish the technique. This February, we dive deep into Tuls (Patterns).

​Speaking of consistency... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JANIS! 🥳

​Janis has been part of our Sinag ITFU family for over 3 years. Watching him grow from a beginner into a committed practitioner and a future leader of our team has been a privilege. Thank you for your hard work and for showing us what "Indomitable Spirit" looks like!

​Drop a "Happy Birthday" for Janis in the comments! 👇

BACK ON THE MATS: FIRST WEEK TRAINING OF 2026! 🥋💪

​The holiday rest is over, and the grind officially begins. It was great to see the energy and focus of the team during yesterday and today’s sessions. We are starting the year strong, disciplined, and ready for the big challenges ahead!

During our session, we also held the formal distribution of the Official Promotion Certificates. These documents serve as more than just a record of rank; they are a professional validation of each student’s technical proficiency and dedication to the standards of the ITF Union and PITF.
​
​HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALEIGH! 🎂🎈

We also want to wish a very Happy Birthday to one of our youngest students, Caleigh (6 years old), who is celebrating her special day today with the team!

​Let’s keep this momentum going, Sinag Team! See you all at the next training.

2025: A Year of History and Heart.

​As I look back on this incredible year, I am overwhelmed. We made history together, but the true victory wasn't just in the medals or the events—it was in the spirit of every student who stepped onto the mats. I am beyond grateful for the privilege of sharing my love for this Art with all of you. You are the reason I do this, and I owe you everything.

​With our family growing faster than I ever expected, leadership demands wisdom. As we step into 2026, I want to assure you that we will move forward with calculated precision. I will not take reckless risks with the trust you have placed in me. Our growth will be managed, steady, and safe, ensuring that the quality and stability of this team remain my highest priority.

​Growth also brings change. We are entering this new year without some individuals who helped build the stability we enjoy today. While it breaks my heart to see them go, I have nothing but hope for their futures. I wish them success in their own plans and thank them for the part they played in our story.

​Now, my eyes are fixed firmly forward.

​I am ready to face whatever 2026 brings. For my family, for this team, and for the Art. Whatever challenges arise, I will face them head-on. I will do whatever it takes to accomplish our mission and protect this home we have built.

Happy New Year!

​Let’s get to work.

Taekwon!
