With a spring in their step and a fire in their fists, the Courageous Kicks Taekwondo squad is heading to Daytona, Florida, to defend their dream title this July. Last year, they snared a sparkling gem at the USCDKA Brenda J. Sell Classic tournament, a feat clinched by Master Happy Kierstead‑Howell during the poomsae showdown.
Why the Buzz?
Here’s the scoop: this year, Courageous Kicks didn’t just show up; they dominated. From capturing the largest participant award to scooping the Best School trophy, every accolade they bagged was a nod to their students’ talent and the school’s dedication to bettering lives.

Master Kierstead‑Howell Speaks
“Courageous Kicks Taekwondo is more than kicks; it’s a family built on faith, trust, and that relentless drive to push every belt a bit further,” the Master says with a wink.
And it’s not just local bragging rights. In the 2024 Teal Tournament and at the USCDKA National Championships, the students took home the most medals, cementing their reputation as the Best School for the third consecutive year. “Winning is great, but it’s about giving families a chance to get healthier together,” Kierstead‑Howell adds. “When families unite and the community supports them, change happens.”
