Student Talks About Her Love of Karate
By Aisha Schor | Observer Contributor
Marie Rodriguez, Business major, practices her karate skills when she’s not studying for classes.
Rodriguez has been attending weekly karate classes for a year, and has managed to earn her yellow belt. “Karate always interested me as a kid,” said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez explained how the test to graduate from a white belt to a yellow belt was “intense” and “took two hours to complete.” She added that if you couldn’t keep up “you would fail instantly and be sent home because the official test afterwards was even worse.”
