Master Joel Bass, “World Championships in Little Rock has been a annual part of my martial arts career for many, many years.  However, this year was the most significant!  Going through the Master’s training and receiving the title capped off an exciting year of many challenges and great successes.  With that said, I am most thankful that I was able to go through the process of becoming a Master with my very good friend, Master Jody Horn.  Not only is Master Horn an amazing martial artist he is a good man and the experience would not have been the same without him.  I would like to thank my staff, Ms. Hornberger, Ms. Haag, Ms. Gill and Mr. Mudron for all their help with the school while I was at the master’s training.  Plus, I would like to thank all of my students who where able to watch online and those who attended the opening ceremonies (Yat Yee & Maddy Chong, Tiffany Haag, Mark & Amanda Mudron).  Of course, I must thank all of those who have helped guide and inspire my martial arts career: Master Mathis, Master Jaime, Chief Master Jager, and most of all to both Master Hauptman and Cheif Master M.K. Lee!  Lastly, I must save the biggest thank you for my wife Amy.  Without her love and support none of this would have been possible!

I am extremely proud of how the students of Paragon Martial Arts represented themselves at World Championships!  I have a sneaky feeling that those who attended this year will be bringing a few more of you next year.”

When a 3-Time World Champ and a National Champion get together to train the champions of the future it’s called “ATA Champ Camp.”  Champ Camp is a high level, intense training week for those who are in Top Ten or gearing-up for the coming tournament year. Now a few days of “down time” and off to World Championships.

Currently Paragon has 10 ATA World and National Champions. Hopefully, someone from this group will be Paragon’s next …

• “The difference between a ‘winner’ and a ‘champion?’
• A winner walks away with a trophy. A champion walks away with respect.
• Be both, but most important, be the champion in your ring!”
