Junior Profile on Kyle Cordova  
By Reporter Mark Huard  

Kyle first got interested in Martial Arts when he was 4 years old. He used to watch those old Bruce Lee movies with his dad.  Kyle used to sit in front of the TV all day and watch and watch as much as he could. He was addicted to those martial arts movies.

Kyle asked his Mom & Dad if he could go to Karate class and see if he liked it. They told him he could try it out. That’s how Kyle got into the Martial Arts.  

His first style was Traditional American Karate in Santee,California (next to San Diego). His Instructor was Master Floyd Burk. He writes articles for Black Belt Magazine. Kyle got his Black Belt in Trad Am Karate. Then he moved to Folsom and got involved in Folsom Karate Academy. The style there is called Bok Foo. His instructor is Mr. Adam Hamlin. Kyle currently has a green belt in that style and is now working and training towards his Black Belt.  One of Kyle’s major goals in Martial Arts before he dies, Is to get three certified Black Belts. He is currently a Green Belt in Bok Foo. 

Kyle started Competing when he was 6 and still competes now. He goes to almost all Naska tournaments and does quite well. Kyle competes in Musical Forms, Extreme Forms, Traditional Wapons, Creative Forms, and Traditional Forms. Kyle has only been doing sport karate for 18 months. Kyles sport karate instructor is Anthony Atkins and really admired him for his great expertise and skill in the martial arts and acrobatics. Kyle says that Anthony picks you up and power bombs you at hotels before tournament days.

Kyle aggress that overall Martial Arts has taught him a valuable lesson that nothing else could teach him. “I think that every single person should do martial arts.”
