Over 40 years experience!
Miss Ci-Ci competing in weapons at Sam Houston College as a green belt when she was 12 years old.
As Master Kaufman's right-hand technical teacher, Miss Ci-Ci has been an integral part of the team for over 13 years. A true martial arts prodigy, she has amassed more than 80 first-place wins in various disciplines, including weapons, board breaking, Olympic sparring, forms, and group forms.
Her remarkable versatility extends to a variety of weapons such as sai, tonfa, sword, naginata, and kamas, securing her numerous first-place victories.
Miss Ci-Ci's dedication to her craft is evident in her mastery of all WTF and ITF forms, ranging from white belt to her current 4th dan level. Although not a requirement at MagnumForceTKD, her commitment to excellence led her to learn every form with Master Kaufman's guidance.
This dedication has resulted in countless gold medals in forms at numerous large competitions. Notably, she earned 2nd place out of over 50 girls in her division at the AAU Nationals, skillfully advancing through multiple elimination rounds to secure a spot among the top three competitors. Her achievements are a testament to both her hard work and the emphasis Master Kaufman places on form.
Highly respected within the martial arts community, Miss Ci-Ci is recognized and admired by many masters and grandmasters. In this photo, she graciously extends a handshake to one of the esteemed grandmasters from the Houston Tae Kwon Do Association, demonstrating the utmost respect and reverence for her peers and mentors.
At Grandmaster Won Park's Fort Worth International Tae Kwon Do Championship, Miss Ci-Ci demonstrated her exceptional skill and versatility by performing a challenging WTF form that many black belts avoid in tournaments due to the absence of kicks.
Competing against opponents showcasing forms with stylish kicks, Miss Ci-Ci astounded the judges with her deep stances, explosive blocks, and powerful punches. Despite not being able to incorporate her impressive kicks, she secured the gold medal, triumphing over all competitors in her division.
At Miss Ci-Ci's high school graduation party, her family gathered all of her martial arts awards in a room at her sister's house, creating an awe-inspiring collection. The room was filled with medals and trophies of various sizes, ranging from small mementos to towering 6-7 foot tall trophies.
In this photo, Miss Ci-Ci proudly poses next to one of her many large trophies, accompanied by another student of Master Kaufman's who also received a first-place trophy. The scene showcases the immense talent and hard work both students have put into their martial arts journeys.
Being homeschooled, Miss Ci-Ci has excelled not only in martial arts but also in music and art. Her success serves as an inspiration to others, demonstrating that with dedication and wholehearted commitment, anyone can achieve remarkable accomplishments in multiple disciplines.
