Training online through COVID 3 nights a week in our lounge room she didn't lose focus and kept her Black Belt achievement in site. She achieving her junior Black Belt in December 2022 aged 10 1/2 years. She has now progressed into the Teenage group with her Teen Black Belt in sight.

Mackenzie will be competing in Las Vegas for the Kenpo 5.0 International World Championships. During this time, she will need to create her own techniques, sets, forms and will also spar on top of grading for her Teen Third Brown Belt right after her 13th birthday at the end of June 2025. She is set to complete her Teen Black Belt later this year before starting in the adult program early in 2026.
