TBBA’s 2026 USATKD Nationals journey has come to an end!
As the only school representing the state of New Hampshire, I can proudly say we brought the very best. Not just in talent, but in martial spirit, character, and attitude.
Every one of our athletes stepped onto that ring and performed with the kind of heart, determination, and sportsmanship that could have earned a gold medal. You never truly know what the judges are looking for or what they see in a single moment, but as their Head Master, I saw our TBBA family give everything they had. That makes me incredibly proud.
2026 Nationals Results:
🥈 M. Trae – Silver, Poomsae
🥉 M. Parker – Bronze, Board Breaking
🥉 I. Liv – Bronze, Poomsae
🥉 M. Amy – Bronze, Poomsae
⭐ M. Jaxson – Missed a medal in Breaking by just 0.3 points
⭐ A.I. Anthony – 5th Place out of 13 in Board Breaking and Top 8 in Poomsae
What an incredible showing for Tiger Black Belt Academy!
We’re excited to return to the dojang and share everything we learned with our students back home. Every tournament teaches us something new, and that knowledge will only make our school stronger.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible.
Thank you to M. Seth for organizing and coaching this incredible team every step of the way.
Thank you to Tom and Lori for cheering us on from the stands.
Thank you to former TBBA student Kortney and Kendall Kaiser for making the trip all the way from Iowa just to support our team.
Thank you to every fundraising donation that made this experience possible, and everyone cheering us on back home.
Thank you to M. Darath and M. Kyra for the coaching advice throughout the weekend, and congratulations to everyone in the Tigers United family on your outstanding performances and accomplishments.
At the end of the day, medals are wonderful…but they aren’t what define Tiger Black Belt Academy.
What defines us is the way we support one another, push each other to grow, and stand together through every victory and every challenge.
TBBA isn’t just a martial arts school…We are family.
