🏔️15 Years of Pinnacle Martial Arts 🥋
Fifteen years ago, in 2009, Pinnacle Martial Arts was born out of a vision—a vision to carry forward the values and discipline I learned at Master Na's Black Belt Academy, where I began my journey, achieved my black belt, and grew into an instructor. What started as a dream to teach and empower became a community, a family, and a mission that continues to grow every day. Living this dream of owning a school and building a legacy has been nothing short of of a dream, an American dream, and I’m honored to have shared it with so many.
Reflecting on the past fifteen years, my heart is full of gratitude. I am deeply thankful for each student who has stepped onto the mats, ready to challenge themselves, learn, and grow. Watching young students transform—seeing their confidence grow, their strength build, and their courage blossom—is the greatest reward. They are not just students; they are at the heart of Pinnacle, each one unique, each one part of this legacy.
To my instructors and staff, past and present, thank you. Your dedication, your passion, and the countless hours you've poured into helping our students thrive have been instrumental in building this community. You are the foundation that Pinnacle stands on, and I am humbled by the commitment each of you brings to the dojo every day.
And to GrandMaster Richard Na—thank you for your guidance, your belief in me, and the values you instilled. You saw something in me and gave me the chance to live this dream. Every day, I strive to honor that trust by giving my very best to this community.
Friends, join Us in Celebrating 15 Years!
On November 30th, we’ll be marking this milestone with a 15th Anniversary Extravaganza, and I invite each one of you—students, families, friends, and community members—to come celebrate with us. The evening will feature: Tickets are available now, and I encourage you to pick one up as this is going to be a party unlike anyone Pinnacle has ever had.
Looking ahead, my commitment remains strong. I am motivated to keep growing, learning, and leading. I am excited to make these next fifteen years the very best—for myself, my family, the PMA community, and for our country. I look forward to continuing to empower young Americans, building strength, character, and resilience that will serve them for a lifetime.
Happy to be a part of Pinnacle, sir!
