Results Martial Arts proudly represented Las Vegas at the ATA Southwest District Championships this past weekend, and the results were nothing short of outstanding. With a total of 16 competitors—13 from our Silverado location and 3 from Henderson—our students and instructors brought passion, skill, and determination to the mats. They returned home with several district champion titles and a renewed sense of achievement that reflects the high standard of our martial arts training.
For families in Henderson and Silverado Ranch looking to build confidence, discipline, and resilience in their children, these results showcase exactly what the Results Martial Arts competition team is all about.
What Are the ATA District Championships?
The ATA Southwest District Championships is one of the most prestigious regional martial arts tournaments in the American Taekwondo Association. Competitors must qualify through consistent participation and performance in sanctioned events throughout the season. It’s where top martial artists from Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and surrounding areas come together to compete in forms, sparring, weapons, and combat sparring.
This level of competition demands dedication, technical mastery, and mental toughness, and we’re proud to say our students rose to the occasion.
Celebrating Our District Champions
Our athletes not only competed with heart but also brought home major victories across multiple categories. We’re thrilled to spotlight the following Results Martial Arts champions:
🥇 Deshan – 4-Time District Champion (Silverado)
Deshan dominated the competition by winning all four divisions:
Traditional Forms
Traditional Sparring
Weapons Forms
Combat Sparring
His clean technique, focus, and perseverance over months of training paid off in a spectacular way. Deshan’s journey reflects the core of our school’s philosophy—excellence through consistency and character.
🥇 Evan Vitangeli – Double Champion (Silverado)
Evan captured two district titles in:
Combat Sparring
Traditional Sparring
Evan has been training for years under the Results system and continues to evolve as both an athlete and a leader in class. His double win is proof that hard work, combined with world-class instruction, leads to amazing outcomes.
🥇 Lucy Rodriguez – Sparring Champion (Silverado)
Lucy earned a district title in Traditional Sparring, showing grit and determination. Lucy’s growth in both confidence and skill has been amazing to watch—and her performance at districts was no exception.
🥇 Gage Tansill – Forms Champion (Instructor at Silverado)
We’re also proud of our very own instructor, Mr. Gage Tansill, who took home a district title in Forms. Mr. Tansill serves as a role model for our students and proves that our instructors don’t just teach—they compete, evolve, and continue to lead by example.
More Than Just Medals: What This Means for Our Students
While trophies and titles are exciting, what makes us most proud is the personal growth we saw in every single competitor—whether they medaled or not.
ATA competition teaches students:
Mental focus under pressure
Goal-setting and preparation
Respect and sportsmanship
Resilience through challenge
Our students gain confidence that carries over into school, social life, and beyond. For many, just stepping into the ring in front of hundreds of people is a win in itself. We’re proud of every student who had the courage to compete and represent Results Martial Arts with integrity.
