Congratulations to Tyler and Tatiana on earning their Black Belts at the WPFA Black Belt Ceremony! After training with Coach Kao for the past 9 years, this achievement is a true culmination of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and commitment to martial arts excellence.
Their journey has required countless hours of practice, discipline, and determination, and WPFA could not be more proud of all they have accomplished. Earning a black belt is not just about skill — it represents character, leadership, and the willingness to never give up.

The ice cream truck was a HUGE hit with our 8th graders during their visit to the future home of Columbus Performance High School East! 🍦🎓
Students had the opportunity to get their first look at where our 9th and 10th grade students will learn, grow, and build the foundation for their future next school year. The excitement is real, and we can’t wait to welcome our high school students this fall. ❤️
