🥋❤️ What a day for the Aggieland Martial Arts family ⭐️🥋

Today, Coach Josh officially completed his 3rd and final Midterm toward earning his 5th Degree Black Belt at the Region 112 Regional Midterm in Magnolia, Texas!

Not only did he complete the requirement, but he also earned an incredible 9 out of 10 on the scoreboard! 🙌🏽🔥

That means Coach Josh is now officially eligible to test for his 5th Degree Black Belt next April! ⭐

If you know Coach Josh, you know he doesn’t get nervous very often. Coach Josh will be the first to admit he was a little nervous this morning 😅, but he didn’t have to walk into that room alone

Our Founding Five kids, along with the parents who could make the drive, had given up their Saturday morning just to come cheer him on! ❤️ They weren’t competing. They didn’t have to be there. They simply wanted to support and love him. That meant everything!

As instructors, we’re usually the ones standing behind our students, reminding them to breathe before they compete, encouraging them after a tough round, celebrating their victories, and helping them through disappointments. Today, for a few hours, those roles were reversed ❤️

To our Founding Five and every parent who came today… thank you! 🫶🏼

Your support, your encouragement, your applause, and simply being in that room made today even more special than the score ever could. We truly are blessed and we honestly can’t thank our Aggieland Martial Arts family enough!

Watching our students and parents show up for each other is what makes this school so special 💙❤️

And as if today wasn’t already memorable enough…

When Coach Josh got home, there was one more surprise waiting in the mailbox 📬🏅

His 25-Year ATA commemorative pin had arrived!

Twenty-five years!

Twenty-five years of tying on belts
Twenty-five years of tournaments
Twenty-five years of wins and losses
Twenty-five years of amazing instructors, teammates, students, mentors, and lifelong friendships.
Twenty-five years of lessons that reached far beyond the mat!

It’s hard not to stop and appreciate everything martial arts has given along the way

The next chapter is now right around the corner

Next April, Coach Josh will have the opportunity to test for his 5th Degree Black Belt, making the transition from Bars ➡️ Star, earning his gold jacket patch, and putting on the full blue suit for the very first time ⭐💙

It’s a milestone that has taken decades of commitment, and everyone at Aggieland Martial Arts is excited to stand beside him when that day arrives!

But before April comes another challenge…

The focus now shifts to the ATA World Championships in Phoenix! 🥊🔥

For the next several weeks, Coach Josh will be training harder than ever as he takes another shot at one goal that has continued to motivate him for years, a World Championship in Sparring! ⭐️🥇

No matter how many degrees or world titles someone earns, there’s always another challenge, another lesson, and another reason to keep improving. That’s one of the things martial arts teaches us best!

If you’re going to be in Phoenix this summer, come find us Friday the 17th (we will post ring & time) and help us PACK Josh’s ring! 📣❤️ We would love nothing more than to hear all the voices cheering him on while he chases one more dream! 🖤

Thank you to everyone who has supported Coach Josh over the years, whether you’ve trained with him for ten years or ten days. Every student, every family, every teammate, every instructor, and every friend has been a part of this journey!

Today wasn’t just about checking off one more requirement toward a black belt

It was a reminder of how fortunate we are to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about one another

And we can’t wait to see where the journey takes us next ❤️🥋

⭐️ The Crimson Phoenix were ON KBTX TODAY! ⭐️

Today our Crimson Phoenix Team from Aggieland Martial Arts Academy had the incredible opportunity to appear on KBTX’s The Three and share the story of our journey to the World Championships in Phoenix, Arizona!

These athletes have spent countless hours training, sacrificing, and pushing themselves to become some of the top-ranked martial artists in the world. What makes this story even more special is that these students aren’t just teammates, they are our Founding Five! They have grown alongside Aggieland Martial Arts from day one!

We could not be more proud of Bella, Stella, Remi, Cullen, and Callan for representing College Station, Bryan, and the entire Brazos Valley with such professionalism, character, and determination!

It’s to help develop confident leaders, disciplined students, resilient competitors, and outstanding young people. These five athletes are a reflection of those values, and we couldn’t be more proud of the example they set for the younger students who look up to them every day!
