Abby Donovan Delaney— 1st Degree Black Belt with big goals and even bigger passion 
Abby has been training in Kenpo for 10 years, and recently earned her 1st Degree Black Belt in Barcelona, Spain — a milestone that marked a proud moment in her journey.
She trains at Ward Kenpo under Grandmaster John Ward, and she’s the first to say she couldn’t ask for a better teacher. Strong foundations, high standards, and consistent guidance have shaped the martial artist she is today.
Currently studying in college to become a personal trainer, Abby’s passion for movement doesn’t stop at the dojo doors. One of her favorite things about karate is stepping up to help teach the younger students — passing on what she’s learned from some of the best coaches and watching the next generation grow.
Her long-term goal? To one day open her own kenpo club and create that same positive, motivating environment for others.
Abby Donovan Delaney shows that Kenpo is about growth, leadership, and building confidence one class at a time
