The conversation
About Jen Davenport.
Jen Davenport sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 24, “Isshinryu Sensei Running a School in Florida”.
Jen is an Isshinryu karate sensei in Florida who runs a school through Ingram's Karate. Her sensei is John Ingram, and she is like family to the Ingrams.
She started training in late 1983, and she won first place for the first time when she was 16. She went on to become an accomplished competitor and coach.
Jen talks about the yearly gasshuku that carries on Master Harold Mitchum's legacy, why sticking with it pays off, and why the way we are made is a strength, not a weakness.
“the first time I ever won first place was when I was 16 years old”
