The Town of Trumbull congratulates Town Planner, Rob Librandi, for being named the ISKA (International Sport Karate Association) World Heavyweight Black Belt Power Breaking Champion! Rob earned the title by breaking 13 concrete blocks at the World Martial Arts Championships in Orlando, Florida in July.
Rob spent more than 30 year studying martial arts, receiving his fifth-degree black belt in 2020. Although he has competed each year since then at the international championship level, he had not brought home a win until now.
Rob has now achieved the highest honor he can achieve in the sport, but he is not done. Rob has found that discipline and confidence in your ability, strength, power, and focus is key to being a champion. As the owner of Trumbull Academy of Karate, Rob hopes to instill in his students these life-lessons he has learned along the way to becoming a world champion.
Congratulations, Rob Librandi! We are so proud of you!
