I was promoted to the rank of Purple Belt 2 weeks ago by Master Lloyd Irvin, and I was very nervous to compete at the Worlds as a purple. But today when I stood there on those mats, I knew that my opponent across from me had not trained as hard as I did! I knew that with Team Lloyd Irvin by my side, and sticking to my game plan, I had it in the bag! Thank You for all of the support, everyone on The Team who has helped me, and all of you Team Lloyd Irvin Fans.
We are the TOP American Team, and I know that we will continue to grow and become stronger!!
