All About Me

My Name is Nicole Alice Balaam-Reed I have been doing Karate since I was 4 (10 years ago).

I was the second youngest Brown belt ever to grade at my club.

I was second in the AMA Nationals in 2005 only narrowly losing by one point in the final. It is my best achievement so far!

I am training hard for my 1st kyu Brown belt at the moment. My Dad is very strict with us and it is a dificult grade.
I have a family of 5. My brother Thomas is 8, my sister Sophie is 21, Mum, Dad and me.

My Mum has recently also gained her 1st Dan Black Belt.

My ambition at Karate is to follow in my Dad’s footsteps.
