To our very own Luca “The Bazooka,”
You don’t just train — you live this sport. Whether it’s in the gym, at home, or on the beaches of Aruba, if the day ends in “Y,” you’re putting in the work. Early mornings. Extra rounds. No shortcuts. No excuses.
As your DMTK community, we see it. We see the discipline. The hunger. The fire. We’ve watched you step into competition time and time again. We’ve celebrated your victories and stood behind you through every lesson. And we say it loud and proud — you are ours.
This weekend at the Ontario Winter Games, the rest of Ontario got a front-row seat to what we’ve known all along.
You are built different.
Friday, you stepped into your very first Ring low kick match and left it all out there — fearless, relentless, composed — earning a hard-fought SILVER medal.
Saturday, you hit the Tatami mats for your Kicklight semi-final and took control. Big shots. Smart movement. Total command. You didn’t just compete — you dominated. That win punched your ticket straight to the finals.
And Sunday?
Sunday you fought like an absolute warrior.
Against a tough, worthy opponent, you went the distance, dug deep, and showed championship heart. When it was all said and done, you stood tall and brought home the GOLD.
From silver to gold in one weekend.
From contender to champion.
From hardworking athlete to Ontario Winter Games legend.
Huge shout-out to your OWG coaches, @terrysulkye and @adrianagrano Thank you for leading with trust, belief, and unwavering support. You gave Luca exactly what he needed to rise to the moment.
Luca is the definition of train hard, fight harder.
The work.
The mindset.
The grit.
The heart.
We could not be prouder.
The Bazooka doesn’t just fire — he explodes.
