Louise to compete in karate cup

 

Umina schoolgirl Louise Purcell, 15, will compete in the 2002 Sydney All Styles Karate Cup in Liverpool on Sunday.

Louise, who competed in her first tournament last month, was excited about the chance to compete among Sydney's best karate students.

"Before the last tournament, I was nervous," she said.

"But now that I know what a tournament is like, I am just really hyped up."

In her last tournament, Louise found herself in the final against fellow Black Belt Karate Studios student Rachel Fury.

"It was cool to fight Rachel in the Windsor Tournament," she said.

"I hope we can do it again at this one."

Louise attends at least one sparring class a week as well as classes for advanced students.

"It's sometimes hard to get to karate, because I go to school in Sydney and work at Deepwater Plaza.

"But I go because it's so much fun."
