House Joint Resolution 319 honors Mark Burns for winning his fifth ATA Martial Arts world title in creative forms, a remarkable achievement considering he had undergone hip replacements since his last title in 2010.

In addition to his accomplishments in martial arts, the resolution recognizes Burns' commitment to his community through the establishment of Honor Martial Arts, a school he opened with his wife, Ariana. The school emphasizes faith-based values, personal growth, and community service, aiming to develop future leaders and instill confidence and resilience in students. The resolution expresses gratitude for Burns' positive influence on his students and extends best wishes for his continued success and happiness.
