We are proud to announce that four athletes on our Achieve Competition Team have officially earned their place on the USA National Team for AAU Taekwondo! After a year of relentless training and focus, they first captured gold at Nationals in Utah, qualifying them for the prestigious National Team Trials. There, they once again demonstrated their skill and determination, winning their divisions and securing their spots on the team.

Among them, Master Van Rex Lamsen, a 3-time National Champion, and Master Sean Laloan, a 7-time National Champion, are longtime students and instructors at Achieve Martial Arts. They have represented both their school and the sport of Taekwondo with dignity and pride, serving as role models for the next generation of martial artists.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Master Van Rex Lamsen (80kg Ultra), Master Sean Laloan (80kg), Instructor Sheldon Wilcox (68kg), and Master Brandon Ramos (58kg). Their commitment to excellence is an inspiration to us all, and we cannot wait to see them represent our school and the United States on the international stage.
