🙏 **I’M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP — PLEASE HELP ME SUPPORT THESE ATHLETES** 🥋🇺🇸

Friends, family, business owners, and members of our community, today I’m asking for your help—not for myself, but for some incredible martial arts athletes who have worked extremely hard for the opportunity to compete at a higher level.

**Look at these pictures. These are the athletes we're fighting for.**

These pictures aren't from a regular practice. These athletes are stepping onto the competition floor, facing other skilled competitors, testing themselves, and putting all those hours of training into action.

They put in **hours and hours of training**. They sweat. They get tired. They get frustrated. They get back up and keep going.

But their hard work doesn't stop inside the martial arts school.

Many of our young athletes are also working hard **academically**. They have school, homework, family responsibilities, and other commitments. Yet they continue showing up to train because they have goals and dreams.

Some of them have the ability and dedication to compete at the **national and international level**.

But there's a problem.

💔 **Talent doesn't pay for airfare.**
💔 **Hard work doesn't pay for hotels.**
💔 **Dedication doesn't pay tournament registration fees.**

With the cost of living, travel, hotels, food, equipment, and tournament fees continuing to rise, many families simply can't afford all these expenses.

**That's why the South Texas US Martial Arts Foundation exists.**

We're a **501(c)(3) nonprofit organization** created to help remove those financial barriers and give deserving athletes the opportunity to compete, grow, represent their community, and reach levels they may never have thought possible.

🙏 **I'm asking you to help us.**

**Anything helps.**

$10 helps.
$25 helps.
$50 helps.
$100 helps.

And if you're a business owner, we'd love to speak with you about becoming a **sponsor or community partner**.

But I want to ask for something else too.

**COME SEE THESE ATHLETES FOR YOURSELF.**

🥋 Come visit and watch them train.
🥋 Talk to the athletes and their families.
🥋 Attend one of their local competitions.
🥋 Watch them step onto that floor and compete.

Don't just take my word for it. **Come see the work, dedication, discipline, and heart these athletes put into reaching their goals.**

We're not simply trying to create better martial arts competitors. We're helping develop **discipline, confidence, leadership, responsibility, respect, and our future leaders.**

These athletes have already made the commitment.

**Now they need people who believe in them.**

If you can donate, please donate.

🙏 **Thank you, and God bless you for your support.**

🥋 NEW MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL IN NEW BRAUNFELS! 🥋

My friends in New Braunfels and the surrounding areas, I want to personally introduce and recommend a new martial arts school in your community — New Braunfels Kung Fu San Soo!

My good friend Sifu Steve has opened his doors, and I’m proud to support him as he begins this new chapter.

After more than three decades in the martial arts, I don’t recommend an instructor or school just because they’re a friend. I look at the person behind the rank — their character, their knowledge, how they treat their students, and what they stand for.

Sifu Steve is someone I trust and respect.

If you’re looking for a place where your child can build confidence, discipline, focus, respect, and real martial arts skills, I strongly encourage you to check out his school.

And this isn’t only for kids!

👊 Little Pandas — Ages 4–6
🥋 Kids Classes — Ages 7–12
🔥 Teen & Adult Classes — Ages 13+

Martial arts should be about much more than learning how to punch and kick. The right instructor can help a student become stronger physically, mentally, and in character.

That’s why I’m proud to stand behind my friend and fellow martial artist Sifu Steve and help spread the word about New Braunfels Kung Fu San Soo.

They’re currently accepting new students, but spots are limited!

📍 1900 S. Cranes Mill Rd., Suite 301, New Braunfels, TX 78132
📞 830-500-1930

🔥 SPECIAL: $99 DOWN — Includes a FREE T-shirt and uniform!

If you live in New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Seguin, or the surrounding area and have been thinking about martial arts for yourself or your children, go meet Sifu Steve and give his school a try.

And please do me a favor — SHARE THIS POST! You never know which family on your friends list has been looking for exactly this opportunity.

Sifu Steve, congratulations on opening your school. I’m excited to see what you build and the lives you’ll impact through martial arts.

From one martial arts family to another — much respect and continued success! 🥋🙏

Welcome Coach Ed to the CTL Family!

We are proud and excited to officially welcome Coach Edgar “Coach Ed” Ayala to the Christian Taekwondo League (CTL) Family as our new Grappling Coach!

Coach Ed brings real experience, heart, and passion to our team. With a background in Karate, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and MMA, he has trained and tested himself both in the gym and in real competition. His journey includes multiple fights and tournaments, along with years of strength and mobility training after overcoming a serious motorcycle accident.

More than his experience, Coach Ed brings the right mindset—discipline, toughness, and a true desire to help others grow. He is committed to building our students into stronger martial artists while helping them gain confidence, control, and respect.

Grappling is a key part of becoming a complete martial artist, and we are excited for our students to learn from someone who has lived it.

Coach Ed will begin teaching Grappling classes on Wednesdays from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM.

Please join us in giving Coach Ed a warm CTL welcome!
