Shodan-ho 2023

I was born June 25, 2008, in Nanaimo Vancouver Island. I have lived there my entire life visiting other places in North America. I joined karate when I was 6 years old after I quit soccer and I loved karate, the samurai classes were so much fun and what helped me learn karate when I was little 

In my younger years, I attended chase river elementary school, and now I am in Highschool attending John Barsby Secondary School currently in grade 10. l, hope to find a future in computer programing.

Karate has helped me a lot in life and has always been a safe place for me, there have been times when I did not enjoy karate but I am proud of myself for persevering and getting to where I am today.
