The athlete of the team Oshikawa Ryu tells how his passion for the discipline was born
Sophie Sturiale, athlete of the Oshikawa Ryu team, talks about her passion for martial arts and Kenpo Karate, which began when, in 2017, a former athlete made her try this discipline and from there her passion for Kenpo karate was born.
“The most important rule – explains the young athlete – that I have learned in these years of my career is to respect others, in addition to the fact that I was advised, I have always wanted to do an attack and defense sport, in fact, before try kenpo i was doing judo.
“Kenpo – continues Sturiale – is faster, more technical and more elegant than the other styles and has taught me to defend myself in the event of an external attack. In my opinion, the most useful techniques are those of defense, but those of attack are also very useful, in case of external combat I have to know how to defend myself and know how to attack “.
“As a green belt – he concludes – my goal could be to reach the black belt, even if the belt does not count, the important thing is to have good technique, know how to use speed and show respect”.
