Summary
In Meridian, a brand-new martial arts studio is dominating the scene—led by instructors ranked among the world’s top ten in Taekwondo. Junior instructor Crew Long, a world champion in XMA Weapons who stunned competitors by wielding two bow staffs, and Chief Instructor Russell Heath, competing against younger rivals while staying focused on fun, are just part of the story. Last month, their students swept 21 medals in 22 events—including 14 championships. Owner Jeremiah Long credits the wins to relentless daily effort, while Britton Long reminds everyone this isn’t just about trophies—it’s a joyful, inclusive community building discipline and confidence for all levels.
