I've been training for seven years with Paramount (formerly Premier) Martial Arts starting with the Karate Kidz Klub, following the school through two moves in Tumwater, WA, helping & leading on the floor at the first Lacey location & recently received my First Degree Black Belt at the current location. I am also a Junior Instructor.
I've been with Demo Team since it reformed in 2009; I am the only remaining founding member. Being on Demo Team allows me to learn advanced techniques & perform to live audiences. I am currently working on the butterfly kick & b-twist; my favorite weapon is the kama.
I have been attending Paramount Martial Arts since I was 3 years old. I began in Little Dragons & worked my way through every level and achieved my goal of receiving my black belt December 2012. The academy is my second home and family. I enjoy every aspect of my craft. I have attended three National Tournaments and received National Titles.
I have been a part of the demo team for three years. It's amazing to be a part of such a talented and committed group! My favorite weapon is the samurai sword and tricking is one of my favorite parts of karate.

I am 13 years old and have been at Paramount Martial arts for 2 years. I have just received my red with black stripe belt and am working hard on becoming a black belt. I have competed at nationals in four events and earned first and second place.
This is my first year with the Demo team and I love it. I am looking forward to competing at all our upcoming tournaments, and performing at all our local events. My favorite thing about the demo team is the friends I have made and being able to learn more tricks and flips. My favorite weapon is the Bo Staff.

I have been training at Paramount Martial Arts for 3 years . My parents made me earn every belt color and I was not allowed to skip or challenge for another belt, so I have put a lot of effort into becoming a black belt. I have been part of the leadership program for over 2 years and I enjoy helping in class. I have been to one National Tournament and placed in a couple different categories. This is my first year on the Demo Team and I am looking forward to it. I really enjoy learning the flips and more advanced techniques. My favorite part of karate and tournaments is the sparring. My favorite weapon is the broad sword.
