“Starting karate has been the greatest thing I’ve ever done."
“Not only have I learned life skills from inspiring and caring mentors, I have made life long friendships and karate has felt like my second home.
“These last 7 years have been an amazing journey of commitment, dedication and growth, which I am eager to grow even more with the experience of attending my first Soke Cup.”

3. If you were to do it all again, what would you do differently?

Go for it. It's a good experience and the training itself helps you to grow.
