🥇 GOLD FOR MASTER JUN! 🥇

Master Jun has captured GOLD at the USA Taekwondo American Open in Tucson, Arizona, earning his place to compete at USA Team Trials.

If he wins Gold at Team Trials, he will become a USA National Team Member in Poomsae which will complete a remarkable journey that spans more than TWO decades, TWO countries, and in BOTH major disciplines of Taekwondo.

🏆 MASTER JUN’s NATIONAL TEAM JOURNEY 🏆

• 🇵🇭Philippine National Team Member – Sparring (1999,2000)
• 🇵🇭Philippine National Team Member – Poomsae (2000,2001)

• 🇺🇸USA National Team Member – Sparring (2024)
• 🇺🇸USA National Team Member – Poomsae (2027, if he wins Team Trials)

He is now one step away from another incredible milestone.

Very few athletes ever reach the national team level in BOTH Sparring and Poomsae. Fewer still accomplish it across multiple decades and on national teams representing TWO different countries.

One more step. Let’s go, Master Jun! 🥋🔥🇺🇸

Thank you to our CALSMA families for the support and encouragement, thank you Myers family for accompanying & cheering him on today and thank you Sir Bobby Vargas of . Special thanks Coach Mike , Coach Chris , CALSMA leadership team, demo team and volunteer black belts for making sure the Dojang runs smoothly while Master Jun is away for the day!

: Chuck Norris has died at 86 in what his family described as a “sudden passing.” The martial arts grandmaster and action star's roles in “Walker, Texas Ranger” and other television shows and movies made him an iconic tough guy — sparking internet parodies and adoration from presidents.

🥋STRONGER TOGETHER.

The 2026 US Open Taekwondo Championship comes to a close, and we are coming home with one GOLD and a whole lot of experience. 🥇

Every match was a lesson. Every round was an opportunity to grow. Competing at this level takes courage, discipline, and heart, and our athletes represented with pride on the international stage.

Congratulations to our athletes for stepping up and giving it their all. Moments like these are built through years of training, perseverance, and believing in the process.

We also want to recognize the parents. None of this happens without you. Thank you for the time, sacrifices, and the continuous investment you make in your children not just financially, but emotionally, mentally, and through your loving support. Those investments build confidence, character, and resilience that will last far beyond the competition floor.

We are grateful to be part of that journey.

We are stronger together, and we are fortunate that what we have is more than a team.

We are family.

Until next year, US Open. 💪🥋
