Blake began training at age four, and over the past four years, she’s shown a level of focus, discipline, and commitment that far exceeds her age. Watching her train at Giordano’s ATA, it’s clear—she’s not just working toward her next belt. She’s building the mindset and skillset of a future champion.

While she trains at Giordano’s ATA, Blake also receives support from CAPA Athletics—a nonprofit organization that helps young martial artists like her pursue their competitive goals. CAPA plays a vital role in assisting with the costs associated with high-level competition, including tournament fees, gear, travel, and more.

“Blake’s determination is inspiring,” says one of her instructors. “She puts in the work every single day, and she’s got her eyes on the prize—a world title in ATA competition.”
