🥋Karate Grade: 2nd Kyu (brown with one white stripe) in the Wado-Ryu style of karate.

🥋When did you start Karate? I joined the Karate club 4 (nearly 5) years ago and have never looked back. Prior to doing Karate, I did Tae Kwon-Do for 10 years and reached my 2nd Dan.

🥋Why do you love Karate and what is your favourite aspect? I love Karate because it provides an environment that encourages determination, resilience, commitment and challenge. While Karate is great for physical strength, flexibility and mobility, I personally do Karate for the mental well-being benefits. My favourite aspect of Karate is definitely Kata. I love learning something new with each grade and trying different styles of Karate!
