Anna Dobre Earns First Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo
2 September 2026
Years of training, discipline and determination have culminated in a major achievement for Davitt College student Anna Dobre, who has earned her First Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo.
Anna achieved the prestigious grade through Mango Martial Arts Academy, marking an important milestone in a journey that has demanded far more than technical ability alone. Reaching Black Belt level represents sustained commitment, resilience and the determination to continue improving through countless hours of training.
It is a tremendous personal achievement for Anna and one that the entire Davitt College community is delighted to celebrate with her.
Anna Joins a Remarkable Legacy
Anna’s achievement also continues a proud martial arts tradition within Davitt College. Over approximately 40 years, 29 Davitt College students have now progressed to Black Belt level — an extraordinary record of commitment, perseverance and sporting excellence across generations of students.
Discipline That Reaches Beyond Sport
A Black Belt is not simply an award earned on one particular day. It reflects the habits developed over years — showing up consistently, responding to setbacks, accepting challenge and having the patience to improve one step at a time.
These are qualities that extend far beyond martial arts, and Anna can be immensely proud of what she has accomplished. Her achievement is a wonderful example to other students of what sustained effort and dedication can make possible.
Congratulations, Anna, on an outstanding achievement — your dedication, discipline and perseverance have been richly rewarded.
Maith thú, Anna! 🥋
