On 7th of November 2023, I reached a very valuable point in Karate. I won a medal. It was a bronze one and it was for the third place. This tournament was held by Kanninjuku International Shotokan Karate Do Organization, Sri Lanka. It was the 25th tournament held by Shotokan Organization.

I participated to the under 15, 7th – 6th kyu girls’ kata event. I had to compete with older students. I did my best. I did the 7th kata named Heiyan Needan and won the third place.

So, my next target is the green belt. I’m going to show my skills and get the green belt next week. I have to do the 6th kata named Heiyan Shandan. I’m well-prepared for it and I only have to show it to the Sensei after getting the green belt. I only have to do three gradings more to be a black belter.
