The conversation
About Vivienne Kidder.
Vivienne Kidder sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 119, “Black Belt at a Young Age, Fear, and Not Quitting”.
Vivienne Kidder is a young black belt out of Adamson's Karate in Indiana.
She started at six, earned her first black belt at nine, and later represented Team USA at the World Championships in Romania.
Listen for how she almost stepped away to play soccer, how she grew into loving kumite after being afraid of getting hit, and why a hard loss at Nationals made her want it even more.
