While I applaud with enthusiasm, I have a nice feeling of "déjà vu", having seen this before ... For just over a year, I wrote an article in which he promised that the future of karate would be in the hands of women ... I do not think I developed powers of clairvoyance, but the results of our competitors make me doubt ...
The Eva, the Estrella and Sandra are girls from Sant Boi who have barely begun to practice karate, a sport that until a few years ago, it seemed unique to the male sex. Week after week are striving to improve and earn a change belt. In his free time, cut time and encouragement to devote many hours and more to win the game. What you see from the outside are the advances and improvements ... And also that they are not alone in the gym to practice this sport. While the vast majority of peers are boys, who take chop are girls of all ages and all categories. Their coach, which has much of the credit for its success, is known everywhere as the coach of the girls (Kiko and girls), and encourages them to practice, to improve, to gain a new category all pulling Slice it best of them: their steadfastness, commitment and loyalty.
From here I invite you to attend any event linked to karate (open, competitive ,...) and I assure you that you will enjoy a spectacle. I have no glass balls (no functioning, I mean), but I can make an overtaking of what you will see: boys and girls (many) who compete on an equal (unisex championships), in all categories. And as you will see girls sweat kimono, as he put all his desire and a lot will. And very probably will see compensation for these efforts, in the form of profits, trophies and awards are being lifted in the hands of women.
