Episode 96. Moving Up To The Black Belt Division
The conversation
About Alyssa Reynolds.
Alyssa Reynolds sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 96, “Moving Up To The Black Belt Division”.
Alyssa moved from Asheville about three years before the episode. She was a cheerleader for seven years and was homeschooled, and with nothing to do, her dad, Clay, a 6th degree black belt in Isshinryu karate, suggested they try karate.
She said no at first, but she went to a Thursday fight night, won all her matches with no experience, and fell in love with it within a couple of weeks. Her sensei is Kyle Forrest.
Alyssa moved up to the black belt division at the Isshinryu Hall of Fame, and she talks about training with her brother, her mom, her dad and her sensei.
