My name is Andrew Aviles Jr, and I’m proud to say I’ve earned my spot on Team USA for the 2025 WAKO World Kickboxing Championships in Abu Dhabi this November. Now with having multiple World, Pan American, National, and State Titles in every major karate/kickboxing league the WAKO World Title is the one that has alluded me thru my 17+ year career.

This GoFundMe was created to help support me along my journey to the World Championships, and all contributions will go toward:

• Flights and hotel accommodations

• Tournament registrations and training costs

• Nutrition, recovery, and other travel expenses

Sadly, the United States does not have a Ministry of Sports and does not fund the athletes who join their national team. We should bring more awareness to this and hopefully in the future acquire funding by our great country for all of our great athletes!

Your support — whether financial or simply sharing this campaign — helps me chase greatness on the world stage and represent El Paso-Texas, Alchemy Karate, and the USA with pride.

Now let’s bring home that gold!

Thank you,

Andrew Aviles Jr
