Australian collegiate to compete internationally in karate for the first time

Can you imagine yourself getting so good at karate that you get to compete internationally? This dream has become reality for Miss Alex Gray of Rockhampton, Australia who will compete in Canada next month.

It’s her first International competition, and she expressed a little worry at the level of expertise she’ll be facing, never having had competed at this high a level before. However, 17-year-old Alex says she has trained hard and looks forward to the experience.

A Freshman at Emmaus College, Ms. Gray hopes to study Physiology. She doesn’t plan on making karate a career, but after having studied it since she was 5 years old, she’s in love with the discipline and intends to continue to practice the sport the rest of her life.

“I love the discipline of karate, and I’ve met some great people through the sport,” she said.
