<div>Hi friends, family, and supporters,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Big news — <strong>Sydney has been selected to represent Team USA at the World Martial Arts Games in Norway this November 2025!</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete against some of the best martial artists from around the globe, showcase the skills she has worked so hard to develop, and proudly wear the red, white, and blue — but she needs our help to get there.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Sydney Tipton is a focused and passionate martial artist proudly representing the United States on the U.S. Martial Arts Team.</strong> A dedicated student at Premier Martial Arts, Sydney has quickly risen through the ranks—achieving remarkable success in just three years of training and barely over a year of competition.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In 2024 and 2025, Sydney captured multiple first-place titles in both Traditional Forms and Weapons divisions. Her standout achievements include becoming a 2-time North American Sport Karate Association (NASKA) UBB Advanced Weapons Grand Champion—a testament to her precision, power, and perseverance.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sydney trains six days a week and actively mentors younger students at her dojo. Known for her discipline and infectious positivity, she leads by example, guiding peers with encouragement and unwavering determination. Her love for traditional martial arts shines through in every performance, and her drive to reach new heights is unmistakable.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Off the mat, Sydney continues to excel. A proud straight-A student with a 3.9 GPA, she is currently in her senior year of high school. Outside of academics and martial arts, she finds joy in artistic expression—drawing, painting, and sculpting—as well as spending time in nature, whether it’s walking trails or enjoying the beach. Her background in dance, cheerleading, and theater has helped shape her confidence and charisma, both on stage and in competition.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sydney also gives back through volunteer work with her dojo and church community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> <strong>Help get her to Norway and support her dream!</strong>
