She`s not common here by any means. I occationally get to watch a karate class at a gym down in Sapporo (70 km away) and there aren`t any 4 yr olds like that where I hang out. You maybe looking at the next Kobayashi Yuki.

She`s cute and tiny and polite, does some modeling on the side......and she also fights full contact Ashihara and Kyokushinkai tournaments all over the world. Last one I saw she beat a Dutch girl in the finals who was a head taller and outweighed her by 40 kilos.

Aww, so cute with the kiai. And great kata.

That's excellent skill out of a 4 year old. Many 4 year olds would have a devil of a time even learning the first half, not to mention the 270 degree turn at the beginning of the second half.

Once she learns how to do more a sliding step, instead of a flat-out step, she's going to have a really good set of mechanics. Yes, I know I'm being picky by pointing this out, but in her case, she's going to get it pretty soon, if my guess is correct.

I teach the 4-7 year old class, and they can't do a solid kata like that little girl does, my kids make tons of mistakes, creating their own personal kata lol.

in my very first seminar last year, i trained next to a yellow belt kid who was about 8 and he wasnt near as good as she is.
