🥊 Student Spotlight: Bronson Laumea

Ashley Nicole Jase Laumea

Meet Bronson in our Jr. High class! One of the youngest but a very focused member at TKO of Hickory and a kid who shows exactly what happens when passion meets discipline.

Bronson walks into every class ready to listen, learn, and become better each class. Even outside the gym, his love for Muay Thai doesn’t stop. His parents say they will catch him shadowboxing at home and even in stores!

⭐ What Bronson Loves About Muay Thai ⭐️

🥊 Favorite Techniques: Round kicks and the spinning elbow
❤️ Heart of a Protector: he once dreamed he had to use Muay Thai to protect his mother
💪 Self-Defense Mindset: he loves learning how to stay safe and strong

Bronson represents the future of TKO following our Student Code of Courage, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Respect. We’re proud of the work he puts in and excited to watch him grow into a skilled and confident martial artist.

Keep pushing, Bronson. The TKO family is behind you every step of the way! 💪🔥
