Naomi Diaz is an 11-year-old rising martial artist from Burlington, New Jersey, with a passion and discipline far beyond her years. She began her journey at just 5 years old and has dedicated herself to mastering multiple disciplines, including Southern Shaolin 5 Family Animal Kung Fu, Hung Gar Kung Fu, and San Da. Now in her third year of competition, Naomi has already made an incredible mark on the martial arts world. She has competed at the state, regional, national, and international levels—earning first-place titles and Grand Champion honors at every stage. Her hard work, focus, and love for the sport continue to set her apart as a true young athlete to watch.

Beyond martial arts, Naomi is a natural leader and a high academic achiever in school. She takes pride in excelling in the classroom while balancing the discipline and commitment required for elite-level training—showcasing both mental and physical strength. Naomi is proud to be part of the Army Strong family and is honored to represent the United States as a member of Team USA through the International Combat Organization. In October, she will take the global stage in France, continuing her journey of excellence and representing her country with pride.

While Naomi is committed to pursuing her dreams, the cost of traveling, boarding, and food can be a financial challenge. Funds raised will help cover travel, food, and boarding expenses, allowing Naomi to continue competing and representing Team USA. Any support toward Naomi’s journey would not only ease that burden but also directly invest in a dedicated young athlete’s future. Naomi is incredibly grateful for any encouragement and support as she continues to chase her dreams and represent Team USA with heart, strength, and determination.
