What an incredible day on the mats. 🥋

A huge thank you to Jalen “The Future” Fonacier for coming out and sharing his knowledge, details, and world-class technique with our Barrios Martial Arts community.

There’s something special about bringing people together to train, learn, ask questions, and simply enjoy jiu-jitsu. Jalen brought great energy to the room and gave everyone details we can take back into our training right away.

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the seminar, and shared the mats with us. These are the moments that continue to strengthen our community and remind us why we love what we do.

Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep showing up.

Until the next one. 🤙🥋.

🥋 Hapkido Black Belt Test — April 26, 2026 🥋

Congratulations to all of our Black Belt candidates on this incredible accomplishment!

Your Black Belt represents countless hours of hard work, dedication, discipline, perseverance, and commitment. We are extremely proud of everything you put into preparing for this day and the determination you showed throughout your journey.

But remember—earning a Black Belt is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of a new one. We hope you take everything you have learned through Hapkido beyond the mat and use it to become stronger leaders, better teammates, and better people.

Congratulations on your new rank and this well-earned achievement. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep setting new goals beyond the Black Belt.

We are proud of each and every one of you. 🥋👏

Congratulations, Black Belts!

Introducing one of our Hapkido black belt candidates: Tabby Kaiman! 🥋

“I want to become a black belt because it will show all the hard work I’ve put in to reach this goal. It’s like graduating from 8th grade to high school. Every belt is like a grade level, and after 8th grade, I transition to high school, where I learn more advanced techniques and refine what I already know. A black belt is a visual representation of all the work, time, and effort I’ve put into hapkido. I look up to all the black belts, and when I earn mine, I’ll be one step closer to their level. The other black belts have perfected techniques from white belt to brown-black belt, they’re able to teach them, and they continue to learn even more. Even though I have reached black belt, I will continue learning, practicing, and teaching.”

Congratulations to Tabby for becoming a Hapkido Black Belt in Barrios Martial Arts & Fitness!

Introducing one of our Hapkido black belt candidates: Sadie Kaiman! 🥋

"Ever since I first stepped onto the white mat with my twin sister, Tabby, I have learned countless techniques and grown so much. Having Tabby with me has always been one of my greatest motivations in hapkido. At first hapkido was never a race. We would challenge each other to see who would gain the next stripe or learn a new technique the fastest. But at we got more serious about hapkido, practice shifted to being about achieving the goals we se and becoming the best versions of ourselves on and off the mat. My sister, who I once might’ve considered my biggest rival, is now my teammate and peer. She is someone I can grow with and learn from."

Congratulations to Sadie for becoming a Hapkido Black Belt in Barrios Martial Arts & Fitness!

Introducing one of our Hapkido black belt candidates: Nathaniel Yamada! 🥋
-
"Getting a black belt would mean that I am opening a whole new chapter in hapkido. I would have everything that I’ve learned in the past in my toolbox, but I will also continue to add new tools. It would show all the growth from white belt to black belt. I would be very proud of my accomplishment because it would be a
major milestone in my life, especially since I’ve been
doing hapkido for 10 years. "

See Nathaniel and the rest of our candidates test for their black belt April 26, 2026!
