Personal

I started karate when I was 4 years old!...This is the first time I have made it on the Junior US team and I will be competing in the -45 kg male kumite division....My real life hero is my mom because she works very hard to support me. ...This 2019 NKF national championship was my biggest win because this is my first time being on the Junior US team....I like the adrenaline that I get when I’m on the mat....I have one dog and his name is Buddy!
