Questions:

At what age did you begin to study karate?
32

Why did you choose to study karate?

For fitness of body and mind. Because I liked the karate people. For self-defense.

Was there a reason why you chose to study Uechi Ryu?
No special reason - it was just coincidence because it was the style in our local sports club.

What does this tour to Okinawa mean to you?
I love to travel and I'm very interested to see the roots of Uechi ryu. I'm very happy to get a timeout from usual business and to meet other karate women.

How has your martial arts study affected or changed your life?
It changed my body experience and helped me develop self confidence (my husband thinks there is no more improvement possible)
