Kokumai Project 2025

Karate has been the foundation for every opportunity I’ve had in life. It’s so much more than just competition — it’s a discipline that builds confidence, character, and resilience. Through Karate, I learned to push beyond my limits, to believe in myself, and to stay committed to my goals. Not every kid gets the chance to travel, meet people from around the world, or experience different cultures firsthand, but karate opened those doors for me. That’s why I’m passionate about creating those same opportunities for others — giving them not just the skills to succeed in sport, but the tools to thrive in life.
