Hello, my name is Justin Powell, and I am honored to represent Team Canada at the upcoming 2025 WKC World Championships. I’ll be competing in the Veterans Men 42+ Continuous Point Sparring -85kg division — a lifelong dream and the result of decades of dedication to martial arts.

This event will likely be my last time competing at this level, making it a truly special and emotional milestone for me, my students, and my family. It’s a chance to show my two little boys and my community that perseverance and hard work can take you to the world stage. My wonderful wife has supported me through every step, and it would mean the world to have them by my side as I compete.

Competing at this level comes with significant costs. Your donations will help cover:

Training expenses & entry fees

Travel and accommodations

Food and gas during the event

Support for my family to attend and cheer me on

Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference and help me proudly represent Canada and our martial arts community.

I deeply appreciate your support — whether through donations or simply sharing this fundraiser with others. Together, you’re not just helping me get to Worlds, you’re helping me close this chapter of my competitive career with honor and inspire the next generation of martial artists.

Thank you for believing in me, my family, and our journey.
