Senpai Cyra

Senpai Cyra began her karate journey at the young age of 6 years in 2013. She gained her Shodan (1st dan black belt) at the age of 12 in 2019 and passed her Nidan (2nd Dan) in December 2022.

Within the first 2 years of Senpai Cyra’s karate journey, she developed a passion for teaching, She felt that passing on her knowledge and expertise as well as inspiring the young people around her was important. She started assisting with classes from green belt (6th kyu) and began teaching children’s classes from June 2022.

Alongside Senpai Cyra’s passion for teaching, she discovered her thrill for competing when she participated in her first competition as an orange belt (9th kyu) at the age of 7. Since then, Senpai Cyra’s karate has grown to the point that she was accepted on the JKA England Squad in 2018, as a 1st kyu Brown Belt at the age of 10. Senpai Cyra was the only brown belt selected to Represent JKA England at the time for the European Championships held in Czech Republic in 2019, and she achieved a bronze medal in Kumite (Sparring).  She has continued to keep that high standard and claim regional, national and world titles.

Senpai Cyra is a very loved instructor, known for her bubbly and cheeky side as well as her willingness to help anyone progress.

She has been an asset to the Kazokudai Karate Team.
