QJ - Team USA for WAKO Ireland 2016

Hello Family and Friends! My name is Quinland "QJ" Pastor and I am one of the eight fighters from Dumlao's Academy of Martial Arts that was given the honor to represent the United States in Ireland for the WAKO Junior World Championship at the end of August 2016. I will be competing in the 13-15 Years Old, 114.6 lbs. and under, Black Belt point sparring division which I took first place in at the WAKO North American Open in Las Vegas in July.

I have been taking martial arts since I was 7 and have been competing for the last 5 years.  I have competed in the Bay Area, L.A., Las Vegas, and Reno, and now, I have the amazing opportunity to travel to Ireland for the first time, represent my country, and fight some of the best competition at the WAKO Junior World Championship.

I could really use your support and encouragement to make this trip happen.  Funds donated will be used for my Airfare, Lodging, Equipment needed to adhere to International Olympic Committee Standards, and Registration Costs.  I am really excited to have this opportunity to represent the U.S.A. and all of my friends and family.  With all your help and prayers, I will do my best to make all of you proud and bring back the gold. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Quinland "QJ" Pastor
