Proud Severn grandparents are excited to report that after several
years of dedicated training at Vuong’s Martial Arts in Gambrills, “The Odenton Ores” are now a bonafide black-belt-triple-threat, having each earned the rank of black belt.
On Nov 7, 2025, Elise, the youngest and last of the three siblings, earned her black belt! Sister Elaine was the first to achieve her black belt rank in May 2022, followed by the oldest sibling, brother Eddie III, in June 2023.
Eddie, a 2024 Arundel High School graduate, is now a sophomore at Towson University majoring in Early Childhood Education. Elaine, a 2025 Arundel HS grad, also attends Towson as a freshman Accounting major. Elise whose college plans are not yet finalized at this point attends Arundel High School. She will graduate in 2027.
Next up for black belts… Mom and Dad!😂😂
