TiamChi 2025 Tournament Highlights - One Tribe Martial Arts Academy Black Belt Marina Jajeh took the Sanda kickboxing challenge in Santiago this summer. From Marina: “Overall my experience was great! I ended up getting silver in my fight. Being able to go fight in another country was a bucket list item that I had wanted to do for a really long time! I enjoyed getting to know everyone a little more from our Bay Area schools that came along too! Definitely would recommend everyone try this at least once! Great job to all the competitors and thanks to all the instructors who helped make this possible!” Thank You! Marina

TiamChi 2025 Highlights- Congrats Euan Belleza - One Tribe Martial Arts Academy (TWKFI affiliate)
From Euan: “My time in Chile was truly unforgettable. Cheering on my teammates during their divisions and fights was a highlight, and their dedication throughout training inspired me. The chance to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures was eye-opening, and I learned so much from our conversations, despite the challenges of long travel days. Lastly, Observing and learning about different martial arts styles expanded my understanding of the sport and gave me new perspectives that fueled my passion for the sport. I also learned so much about traveling independently without my parents, and I'm incredibly grateful for their trust in me. I would like to thank my One Tribe family for supporting me since day 1. Lastly, a special thanks to SF Team, especially Channon, for taking such great care of me throughout the trip.”-Euan
