My
name is Kaulin Hooper and I was born November 24, 1992.
I was born in Mesa, Arizona where I stayed for 6 years
until moving to Beachwood, Ohio. I attend Beachwood City
School. Sports are a huge part of my life and I love playing
them. When I was young I played soccer, football, and baseball
recreationally. My brother began taking karate classes
through the recreation department and I soon followed.
While studying in Beachwood I continued to play sports.
Once I hit middle school I stopped a lot of sports and
set my mind to soccer and karate. Sensei Brandon Fisher
split from the Beachwood Recreation program and I followed
his footsteps to further improve my karate training. I
have a lot of experience in tournaments. I have been to
many where I have won and many where I have lost. I enjoy
helping new students at tournaments because I remember
my first tournament that I went to and I was freaked out.
Now when I go it’s a fun challenge instead of a scary
one. To this date I continue my karate training with my
2 brothers and continue playing soccer. I play on a premier
team that plays teams from all over Ohio. I play electric
guitar because music is also important to me. I love having
fun and enjoying life however it comes.
A black belt is not a trophy to show off to friends or a weapon to threaten or scare anyone. A black belt represents who you are and shows a person’s dedication. Having a black belt would be another step in the pursuit of karate excellence.
