Unbelievable: 16-Year-Old Karateka Takes on the World [Must-Watch]

Join us as we dive into the inspiring journey of Tsitsi Muranda, a 16-year-old girl from rural Makoni, Zimbabwe, who is about to break new ground in the world of karate. Tsitsi is set to represent Zimbabwe at the prestigious So-kyokushin World Karate Championships in Japan, competing against the best karatekas from across the globe.

Despite facing various challenges such as distance and school commitments, Tsitsi's determination knows no bounds. Confined to her rural homestead, she, along with the guidance of her father Senpai Tinashe, has created a unique gym that utilizes the resources available in her surroundings. Waking up at 4am for light physical training before school and continuing with conditioning training after school and household chores, Tsitsi's dedication is truly remarkable.

In the upcoming world championships, Tsitsi will be participating in the Kumute class 54-59kgs category, with her eyes set firmly on the gold medal. Inspired by Shihan Samson Muripo, a two-time world champion who also started his journey in rural Chimanimani, Tsitsi believes that nothing can stop her, not even her background.

Tsitsi's unbeaten record in professional competitions, under the guidance of her father, has become a legacy that their family aims to protect. Her mother, Memory Dzikiti, fully supports Tsitsi's karate journey and hopes that she will bring home a medal from Japan, knowing that Tsitsi has the talent to conquer the world.

Tsitsi's training routine has garnered the attention and support of her village, where she showcases her mesmerizing skills to the awe of the community. The Village Head, Sabhuku Musakwa, acknowledges the positive impact Tsitsi has brought to their community while highlighting the need for assistance so that she can focus solely on her training.
