Welcome!
Sydney Lavarnway
Hi! My name is Sydney, and I am a 14-year-old karate athlete. I started karate when I was six and earned my first degree black belt when I was 12. I love karate because it has taught me the value of hard work and dedication and allowed me many unique opportunities. Over the years, karate has become an important part of who I am. I train 5-6 days a week and travel the country training and competing in tournaments. Last year, I was selected to represent the United States as part of the AAUs National Team at the WUKF World Championships! My ultimate goal is to go to the Olympics when I'm older, and this was an exciting step for me. This year I am working toward making USA Karate's National Team and earning a spot in the Junior Pan American Karate Championships. I'll be posting updates regularly so check back often!
