Episode 13. National Karate Champion on Mastering the Basics
The conversation
About Shelby Milliken.
Shelby Milliken sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 13, “National Karate Champion on Mastering the Basics”.
Shelby was Nick's very first youth guest. She was 10 years old when the episode was recorded, and she started karate at five after her dad inspired her to begin.
She is an Isshinryu Hall of Fame ambassador, and she hopes to lead by example and help bridge the gap between the traditional and the new.
Shelby talks about restarting and moving forward after setbacks, why the basics matter most, and the never-quit mentality.
“I'm 10 years old”
“I hope to lead by example and encourage others during my ambassadorship”
