Brookfield resident 9 year old Smithika Madan started Karate at just 3 years old. Now at age 9 and a Black Belt, she competes regularly in NASKA and KRANE tournaments all over the East Coast. In her most recent tournament (Amerikick International in Atlantic City Nj) she secured four First Place Medals. Smithika isn't alone in her passion for Martial Arts, infact her entire family takes classes along side her at Connecticut Martial Arts. This summer, her little brother Nabhith began competing and is fast becoming a respected competitor. For more information, please contact ctmartialarts.com 203-792-1544
