Meet Adam: Athlete of the Month

Adam | 11 years old | Martial Arts

Adam's journey began when his family relocated from Ukraine to Vancouver Island in June. Amid financial constraints, providing her children with the opportunities they deserved, like joining a sports team, seemed like a distant dream for his mother.

However, thanks to the support of A4K and the wider community, Adam and his sister were able to immerse themselves in the world of martial arts. Their mother has observed that this endeavor has not only improved their physical well-being but has instilled invaluable life lessons, including teamwork and perseverance.

Moreover, their confidence has soared, and they've forged meaningful friendships within the community.
For Adam, his favourite part is mastering the art of board breaking, a skill he passionately pursues. Guided by his coach, who Adam is inspired by in his classes. She makes the lessons both fun and effective.

In just a year, Adam received his CAMO belt, a testament to his dedication and hard work. His family is excited for the next chapter in this journey, knowing that it is not just about combat skills anymore, it's about achieving recognition and mastering the discipline of the sport.
