🥋🇨🇦 BC ON THE WORLD STAGE | TALYA RABINER
Champions are built through the work nobody sees.
Karate BC is proud to celebrate Talya Rabiner of Tiger's Eye Academy, who represented Canada in Junior Women's Kumite at the 2026 WKF Cadet, Junior & U21 World Championships in Poland.
Talya's story is one of extraordinary discipline and dedication.
During the pandemic, when her dojo was forced to move training online, Talya was among the few students who consistently attended every virtual class.
She completed every assignment and continued practising independently, even when normal training and competition weren't possible.
Coach Fernando remembers that commitment clearly.
The same discipline that carried Talya through those challenging times continues to drive her development as an international competitor.
Her journey is a powerful reminder that success is built through consistent effort, including when there are no spectators, competitions, or medals.
Congratulations, Talya! Your perseverance and commitment represent the very best of karate. We're proud to see you representing Canada! 🇨🇦

A journey that began at just four years old!

🥋🇨🇦 BC ON THE WORLD STAGE | KATRINA LEE
Thirteen years of karate. One incredible journey.
Karate BC is proud to recognize Katrina Lee of West River Karate, who represented Canada in Junior Women's Kata at the 2026 WKF Cadet, Junior & U21 World Championships in Poland.
At 17, Katrina has already devoted most of her life to karate.
She began training alongside her two older sisters and has spent the past 13 years developing her skills, recently achieving her black belt.
Her instructor, Sensei Kenny Lim, knows that behind Katrina's sweet smile is a sharp sense of humour and an unexpectedly sarcastic personality!
And while he jokes that punctuality may not be her greatest strength, his affection and pride in Katrina are unmistakable.
As she prepares to graduate from Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School, Katrina is also representing Canada on one of karate's biggest stages.
Congratulations, Katrina! We're proud of everything you've accomplished and the journey that has brought you here. 🇨🇦

🥋🇨🇦 BC ON THE WORLD STAGE | TIFFANY JILOCA
From Surrey, BC to the world stage!
Karate BC is proud to recognize Tiffany Jiloca of Reisky Martial Arts and Fitness, who represented Canada in U21 Women's Kata at the 2026 WKF Cadet, Junior & U21 World Championships in Poland.
Tiffany began karate at age seven and has developed an outstanding competitive record, including:
🏆 Two Canadian national kata titles — Junior in 2024 and U21 in 2026.
🥉 A bronze medal at the 2024 Junior Pan-American Championships.
🌍 A seventh-place finish at the 2025 WKF Youth League in Venice, Italy.
But Tiffany's contributions extend beyond competition. As an assistant instructor at Reisky, she helps younger athletes develop their skills and confidence.
She's also a third-year kinesiology student at Simon Fraser University, balancing her academic ambitions with international competition.
And when she's not training or studying? Tiffany loves travelling, exploring new places, and trying different cuisines—especially Korean food!
Her journey reflects a philosophy that has guided her development: Never Stop Learning.
Congratulations, Tiffany! Your dedication, achievements, and commitment to helping others make BC proud. 🇨🇦

🥋🇨🇦 BC ON THE WORLD STAGE | NIA HAFTLANG
Every champion remembers where the journey began.
Karate BC is proud to recognize Nia Haftlang of Tiger's Eye Academy, who represented Canada in U21 Men's Kumite at the 2026 WKF Cadet, Junior & U21 World Championships in Poland.
Nia's coaches still remember the excitement he felt when he earned his first medals at a BC karate tournament many years ago.
Those early successes helped spark a competitive journey that has taken him far beyond British Columbia.
Nia has gained valuable international experience competing at Youth League events. Having progressed beyond Youth League eligibility, he now competes at the highest senior level, regularly challenging himself against elite international athletes at Karate One and Series A events.
But reaching this level has required more than athletic ability.
Coach Fernando highlights Nia's determination in balancing university, work, and training while continuing to pursue his goals in karate.
From those first medals at a local BC tournament to competing at the World Championships, Nia's story demonstrates the rewards of perseverance and dedication.
Congratulations, Nia! Your journey is an inspiration to young athletes taking their own first steps into competition. 🇨🇦
