Kiyou Shimuzu, a distinguished karate athlete, reflects on her nearly three-decade journey in martial arts, starting at age 9. Initially inspired by her brother, Kiyou embraced karate not only for its physical challenges but also for its rich history and technique. While competition brings both joy and disappointment, she remains committed to her training regimen, affirming that whether winning or losing, the discipline of daily training drives her career. Additionally, she humorously shares her love for basketball, despite recognizing her lack of skill in it.
"When you win, you train the next day. When you lose, you train the next day."
"I enjoy working on and perfecting technique and learning about the history and the deepness of karate. It's interesting and fun."
