11-year-old Bijapur girl earns Karate Black Belt
Says every girl must learn martial arts for self defence
Bijapur: A majority of Muslim families think twice and sometimes thrice before sending their daughters to enhance their skills other than academics. The trend subjected more in suburban areas where the parents like their daughters to stay at home after their regular school classes. Breaking the stereotype is a Bijapur family whose belief in their daughter has seen their 11-year-old daughter earn the Karate Black Belt.
Nadira Rozindar is a young 11-year-old daughter of Hayat Rozindar and now wears the Black Belt over her Karate gear with pride and a bright smile on her face. Nadira is also extremely passionate about the martial art that has given her a reckoning at a young age. She works hard and with a dedication to work on enhancing her skills in the martial arts.
Nadira started learning Karate when she was studying in Class 3, the biggest encouragement to her, came from her father, Hayat Rozindar who vehemently believes that children, mainly girls must learn self defence techniques.
“In the current scenario, it is important for the girls to learn self defence techniques which gives them emotional strength to fight during any adversaries. I believe every family must send their children, especially daughters to learn some kind of martial art” Hayat says.
With this clear objective, he admitted his daughter to a local Karate institute where she has been undergoing training for about three years now.
Karate training has a total of nine belts. It starts with a white belt and ends with a black belt while each belt carries different sets of rules and techniques. Only after passing those techniques, the students get a chance to earn a new belt.
Meanwhile, Naadira said that she could have completed the black belt a little earlier itself, but because of the COVID pandemic, the classes stopped and the exams were postponed.
“I recently completed the exam where trainers of Hubballi had come as supervisors. Since I completed all techniques, I was given a black belt”, she said with pride.
She now wants to continue Karate and wishes to complete different levels.
While Nadira wishes to continue her training, the father wants her to open a separate Karate coaching center in the coming days that will only train girls.
“I want my daughter to become an instructor of Karate by opening a separate school only for girls where she should be training and encouraging girls to undergo martial art training for their self defence. Hopefully, in a few years, she will start the center, and I will do whatever is required for that”, Hayat said.
