Episode 69. Karate & Kobudo Out Of Brooklyn
The conversation
About Sean Russell.
Sean Russell sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 69, “Karate & Kobudo Out Of Brooklyn”.
Sean lives in Brooklyn, New York, which he calls a boiling pot of cultures. He is Jamaican and a big food lover.
He started karate when he was six at Kokoro Karate and Fitness Center, a school his family found while they were looking at houses near where they live now.
Sean talks about nerves before his first Nationals finals, injuries and imposter syndrome, learning from great coaches, mentoring younger athletes, and discovering that martial arts is about far more than winning.
