Karate wonder kid from Kerala
The HinduAt five, she just looks like any other tiny tot, but Varsha Vinod is already on top of the world, having become the youngest-ever to get a karate black belt. The wonder kid from Kerala started practising the chops and kicks of the martial art three years ago when children of her age were busy playing. She is now sought by many organisations and clubs in Kerala to demonstrate karate, her father and sensei Vinod Viswanathan, who runs the Ko-In-Chi Academy of Martial Arts at Amabalapuzha in Alappuzha District, told PTI. At the age of four, Varsha was a brown belt holder, the first degree in Karate, and was awarded the black belt, the tenth karate grade, last year, he said. Varsha had good reflexes and was quick in grasping the lessons, said Mr. Viswanathan, a karate master for over 24 years in Ko-In-Chi Academy.
