Congratulations, Taiyo, for your first WKC 3rd place!
Mom and I are extremely proud of you for your achievement at such a young age.
Taiyo was selected to Team USA, one of the strongest teams in the world, when he was 17 years old and won his first WKC match, winning 2 x 0 in less than one minute. We are looking forward to witnessing his upcoming WKC achievements. Keep striving for the top!
