Karate is a full contact combat sport and athletes must be quick. Not just quick, strong and fit too. Fights last 2 minutes for the ladies and 3 for guys with points scored for clean strikes and takedowns.
The aim here is to perform each rep with intent and explosive effort. This is just a snap shot of what Sophie’s training sessions involve but as National and Student Champion she is going from strength to strength.
