12 Year Old Black Belt Scores Big at Recent Tournaments

And she's just getting started!

12 year old Black Belt Julia Damasceno may have just started her Karate Tournament Career, but she's already getting noticed. In just 3 tournaments this year, she's scored two first places and one second place. The last tournament was just a couple weeks ago in Atlantic City at the NASKA, Amerikick Nationals.

Julia just received her Black Belt a few months ago. However, she's been rigorously training for four years at her Karate School (ctmartialarts.com). Her instructors, Master Steven Doyon, Master Roxanne Doyon and Master Jared Dunn have helped her become an instant star on the circuit. Her team and her fellow students couldn't be any more proud. She also has a wonderful and supportive family. Infact, Julia's little sister Luisa is fast following in Julia's footsteps.

Congratulations Julia!
