A Squad - Experienced
competitors with a will to win |
 |
I have been doing karate since I was 6 when I was
introduced to the club by a friend and have enjoyed it since
then, working my way through the belt gradings. I have done
several tournaments, national and international and the
Ashin-do Kai and taken two 1st
places, two 2nd places and a
3rd place. This year I will be entering more tournaments to
gain more experience and push for more placings and wins. I
passed my last grading in December 2007 and I am now black
belt 2nd Dan. I train 3 times a
week, plus squad training, which all helps keep me fit as
well as sharp and focused.

I started karate at Ashin-do Kai in 2001 when I was
9 yrs old. With lots of encouragement from Sensei Ricky and
Sensei Lidiya, I learnt quickly and soon started entering
competitions, first the Ashin-do Kai tournaments, followed
by Nationals, Internationals and eventually World
Championships. I have won gold, silver and bronze medals
over many tournaments, culminating in 2006 and 2007 when I
took Gold in the World Championships in both Kata and Kumite.
I am a member of the British Karate Squad under the AMA and
train with them regularly under Sensei Peter Allen. I train
every week and love karate and want to carry on competing as
I move up into the senior ranks.

I joined karate at Ashindo Kai in 2001 when I was 6
years old and trained very hard with the Sensei's and other
students. I started entering competitions a couple of years
later and now compete at International level in my age
group, taking Silver and Bronze medals in competitions at
home and abroad. I also train with the AMA and compete for
the British Karate squad.

"When I was younger I did gymnastics and dance classes
but when I moved to London I couldn't find the right kind of
classes, so I started doing karate in September 2006 when a
friend introduced me to the Ashin-do Kai club. I enjoyed it
a lot and in the November of that year took part in the
Ashin-do Kai tournament and took silver in my Kata group.
After that I realised I wanted to do more so trained more
often. Sensei Ricky and everyone at the club were very
encouraging and in 2007 started entering the national
tournaments, even taking bronze again for Kumite at my first
tournament. I am now a Green Belt [6th Kyu] and train 3
nights a week as well as with the squad on Sundays. Karate
keeps me very fit and I have also made some great new
friends. I am looking forward to more tournaments and train
very hard for them."
