Podcast appearances and mentions of Sakura Kokumai

Pan American Champion and Team USA Olympic Karateka extraordinaire, Ms. Sakura Kokumai, sits with Sifu and Your Main Man for a SMAFcast like no other. Sakura-san is a 4th Dan in Shitō-ryū and the only American female Olympian to compete in 2020, finishing in 5th place after competing in the Bronze Medal match. She was extremely generous with her time (and her fielding of Fode's barrage of fanboy questioning) and if you have even a lick of competitive spirit, the insights she shares are invaluable to any athlete who wants to be a winner. We have to offer a huge THANK YOU to Sakura-san, and to all of YOU who continue to Subscribe and Share our show!The Online Home of Sakura KokumaiLearn Saber Martial Arts and become an SMA Affiliate!Become an Official SMA Patron!Follow SMA on InstagramSubscribe to Saber Martial Arts on YouTubeTrain & Fight in an Official SMA "Duelist" Jersey!
