Personal

I started karate when I was 7 years old!...This is my first time making the Junior US Team!...My mom is my hero, she is always there for me and supports me....My biggest win was getting first place at Nationals in Elite Division. It was important to me because I made the Junior US Team and my hard work payed off!...My coaches @vitalyokinawa and @alexokinawa inspire me because they motivate me and push me to make every day in the dojo count...."Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." - Albert Einstein
