TKD Grassroots Poomsae Event** as a red belt competitor, taking home a well-earned **silver medal**.Fast forward one year and Joseph has achieved his **Black Belt** and recently competed at the **Kukkiwon Cup**, where he delivered an outstanding performance to win **Gold Medal in Cadet Division 2 Poomsae**! 
What an incredible journey and a fantastic example of what can be achieved through dedication, hard work, and believing in yourself.
This is one of the many success stories we love seeing and sharing. Athletes start at our grassroots events in a **fun, safe, supportive, and no-pressure environment**, gaining confidence, experience, and a love for competition. From there, they continue to grow and achieve amazing things on bigger stages.
A huge congratulations to our superstar **Joseph Hong**. Your hard work has paid off and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.
From grassroots to gold medal champion!
