Talent Smith Award

The Talent Smith Award is presented annually to individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication to identifying, nurturing, and developing talent. These “talent smiths” have a sharp eye for spotting potential and bring a unique skill set to helping others succeed in their martial art. At the Round Table Alliance, a talent smith holds a deep responsibility to pass down their knowledge to the next generation, focusing on cultivating emerging talent. This award symbolizes the recipients’ commitment to these values and holds them accountable to their high standards.
