In this episode of the World Karate Cast, we sit down with Amy Connell, a Scottish Female Kumite -55kg athlete and Head Instructor of Guardian Girls Karate.

Amy has won multiple medals throughout her career and represented Scotland on the international stage. She shares her journey in competitive Karate, the mindset and discipline required at the highest level, and the lessons she learned along the way.

We also dive into the mission behind Guardian Girls Karate — a programme dedicated to empowering girls and women from all backgrounds through confidence-building, awareness, resilience, and practical self-defence skills. The conversation highlights how Karate goes beyond medals, serving as a powerful tool for leadership, social impact, and positive change worldwide.
