GOING FOR THE BLACK

By: Christian P. Mavrinac

Hello, my name is Christian, I live in Arizona, recently Oregon.

I have a lot of great experience with ATA, American Taekwondo Association. I am a Blue Belt, and in 2 months, I will be a Brown Belt!

My favorite weapon is the nunchucks. I learn how to defend myself from bullies, and bad guys. I do self-defense, gun defense, and knife defense. I hope to protect myself and friends from anyone who tries to hurt me or being mean to someone at school.

We have life skills we learn like, discipline, respect, self-esteem, etc. I love ATA, and I hope soon I will become a Black Belt and make sure I and other people are safe from bad people! Every 4 months I rank up.

I started ATA in 2015 when I was 7.  It helps me be a better person and makes you stronger. I was in a tournament in 2017, and it was so much fun! I hope I can be in one again!

My goal is to make sure I do great in TaeKwondo, get my Black Belt, and help to protect me, my friends, or family members.
