Episode 55. Karate for Team USA & Puerto Rico
The conversation
About Kyandra Valle.
Kyandra Valle sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 55, “Karate for Team USA & Puerto Rico”.
Kyandra is a karate competitor from Florida. She started when she was about seven, after her dad signed up her and her sister, and she still trains with Sensei Cindy Ingram.
She has grown into an elite competitor on the national and international stage, representing both Team USA and Puerto Rico.
Kyandra opens up about balancing karate, varsity sports and life, a time when she felt drained from training nonstop, and how stepping away helped her see the bigger picture and value karate even more.
