Congratulations to Lauren Trussell on earning her final stripe before black belt!

It’s been incredible watching her growth, dedication, and consistency throughout her training—even while continuing her journey from a distance. This milestone marks the completion of her pre–black belt requirements, and we are excited to see her take the next step.

She will be testing for her black belt this October — a well-earned opportunity that reflects years of hard work and perseverance.

We’re proud of you and looking forward to what’s ahead! (The cute pup is Gus)
