One Gala Night, Endless Inspiration

On 11 September 2026, the spotlight shone brightly on Pinnacle Taekwondo Martial Arts Academy Sydney at the prestigious Young Champions Awards Gala Night. In a celebration of excellence, discipline, and youthful ambition, Pinnacle Martial Arts Academy was honoured with the Young Champions Award – SPORTS (TEAM), while rising star Sam Iskandar claimed the coveted Young Champions Award – SPORTS (JUNIOR).

Adding to the academy’s pride, Sukaina Kazimi was named a Finalist in the Junior Academic Achievement category, narrowly missing the top honour but earning widespread admiration for her outstanding all-round achievements.

This latest recognition at the Young Champions Awards underscores Pinnacle’s unwavering commitment to holistic development, where martial arts mastery goes hand-in-hand with academic excellence, public speaking, and personal growth.

Sam Iskandar: The Unstoppable Junior Champion

At just a young age, Sam Iskandar has already etched his name into the annals of Australian taekwondo history. His record is nothing short of extraordinary:

  • 22 Wins, 0 Losses

  • 2× Australian Champion

  • 2× NSW All Schools Champion

Sukaina Kazimi: Excellence Beyond Taekwondo

  • Academics

Her mother shared:

“Seeing Sukaina recognised among such talented young people was an incredibly proud moment. I am grateful to Pinnacle Taekwondo for being part of her journey and for encouraging the discipline, confidence, resilience, and determination that young people carry with them far beyond the training floor.”
