AXA ITF TAEKWON-DO, ANGUILLA

9X Gold🥇 2X Silver🥈 and 4X Bronze🥉in Philadelphia!

Our team has returned home after an incredible showing at the USTC Red Tiger Cup held 25th-26th April 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We extend congratulations to D’Naire Duncan, Zyon Romney, Zuriel Wilkes, Ameiah Rey, Haojun ‘James’ Tang, and Varick Gumbs for their outstanding performances.

Beyond the medals, competition gives our students a chance to see what they’re capable of and understand how our training compares to the standard abroad. Experiences like this continue to raise the technical level and athletic capacity of our athletes, and we are excited about what lies ahead.

We also extend our gratitude to Master Marcello Cancelliere of Red Tiger TaeKwon-Do for hosting such an excellent event and providing a platform for our athletes to compete and grow.

As we celebrate 25 years of AXA ITF TaeKwon-Do, this marks the first of several major events for the year. We extend sincere thanks to everyone who contributed, as well as the parents who actively supported fundraising efforts; your involvement made this opportunity possible.

The standard is rising. The journey continues.

At any given time, you can ask just about any of our students, “What’s your next stripe?” — and they know! 💪🏽🥋

That’s the power of our stripe system.

Each stripe represents progress toward the next, giving students clarity, structure, and purpose. It ensures that every child is always working toward a specific goal, with a clear expectation of what must be improved, refined, or mastered next. No guessing. Just steady, measurable growth.

Stripes build confidence.
Stripes build discipline.
Stripes build momentum.

We’re proud to recognize the following promotions from the final week of January:

Yellow Stripe:
Joanna Lloyd
David Lloyd Jr.
Teagan Banton

Blue Stripe:
Kesa Herbert
Jaxson Whyte

Red Stripe:
Cree Holas
Kenbert Simon

Black Stripe:
Ché Acosta
Shaye-moi Romney-Gumbs

Congratulations to each of you! Keep your eyes on the next stripe — because we know you already know what it is. 👊🏽🔥

New Dobok Feeling😎

Wearing the uniform isn’t just about looking the part; it’s about feeling the part.

It builds pride, unity, and that special sense of belonging.

It reminds every student that they are a part of something bigger.

Saving the next generation from their tablet, one hour at a time.

Week 2 of training has begun!

Parents, get your kids off those devices. Rock with us, or pick another sport; just get them active.

… or leave it up to TikTok dance?🤷🏽‍♂️
