I’ve been putting off writing this post… mostly because of emotions.
Yesterday marked
@neve_harvey1 ’s final session at UTX Academy before she flys out to Miami to begin an incredible new chapter—joining Royal Caribbean as a professional performer.
Neve didn’t walk into UTX as a standout student. And truthfully, tricking didn’t come naturally to her. There were many moments where progress felt just out of reach—times she left the gym in tears, questioning whether she’d ever get it. But what made Neve special wasn’t raw talent—it was her relentless spirit. She kept showing up, pushing through the frustration, and chipping away at every challenge with quiet determination.
That spark grew into something powerful. From landing her first tricks to winning local competitions, she went on to break records, blaze trails, and inspire a generation of martial artists. Now, she stands as a world-class martial artist, a professional-level tricker, and a true role model—not just within UTX, but on the world stage.
This journey wasn’t walked alone, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the coaches, promoters, and companies—both inside UTX and beyond—who’ve played a part in Neve’s growth. There are far too many to name, but your support has meant everything.
I also want to send a huge congratulations to Chris and Mandy Harvey—I’ve had the privilege of watching them put everything into Neve over the years. As parents, they’ve been a constant source of love, support, and dedication. Their commitment to Neve’s journey has played such a pivotal role in her success, and they truly deserve recognition for all they’ve given.
Neve, it’s been an honour to coach you and witness your transformation. We’ve watched you go from a shy young girl to a powerhouse performer, and we couldn’t be prouder. Your UTX family is behind you every step of the way—now go light up the stage and continue inspiring the world.
Once UTX, always UTX.
We’ll miss you, but we’ll be cheering you on from afar.
