ATI's Return To Group Testing Format
ATI celebrated an exciting milestone on October 25, 2025, with our first group belt testing since the pandemic. Our students showed incredible focus, determination, and hard work as they demonstrated their skills and earned their new belts. ATI was also honored to welcome Buena Park Mayor Joyce Ahn, who presented Master Kwon with a Certificate of Recognition from the City of Buena Park in honor of his continued dedication to empowering students through Taekwondo.
It was a day full of accomplishments for ATI and our testing students!
Our First Group Testing Since the Pandemic
On October 25, 2025, ATI held its first group belt testing since the pandemic. It was a milestone we had been looking forward to for a long time, and the excitement in the room made the day even more special.
Students, families, and instructors came together to celebrate months of hard work and to watch our students take the next step in their Taekwondo journey.
So Proud of Our Students
Every student who tested that day did an incredible job. From our youngest beginners to our most advanced students, each one demonstrated focus, determination, and the skills they had worked so hard to develop.
Preparing for a belt test takes dedication. Students spend weeks practicing their techniques, earning their stripes, listening to their instructors, and preparing themselves for the challenge ahead. On testing day, all of that hard work was on display.
We couldn't be prouder of the effort our students put into preparing and the confidence and perseverance they showed throughout the test. Congratulations to everyone on earning their new belts! We can't wait to see what you accomplish next.
A Special Guest: Buena Park Mayor Joyce Ahn
We were also honored to welcome Buena Park’s mayor, Mayor Joyce Ahn (@joyce_ahn_buena_park), who joined us for this special occasion and presented Master Kwon with a Certificate of Recognition from the City of Buena Park.
The recognition honored Master Kwon's continued dedication to empowering students through Taekwondo and made an already memorable day even more meaningful.
Thank you, Mayor Ahn, for taking the time to join us and celebrate this milestone with the ATI community!
Looking Ahead
Days like this remind us why we do what we do. Taekwondo is about more than earning a new belt — it's about building confidence, discipline, perseverance, and continuing to grow with every challenge.
We are incredibly proud of all of our students and excited to see where their hard work takes them next.
Until the next test, keep practicing, keep improving, and keep working hard. Congratulations again to all of our testing students!
