Southeast Asian (SEA) Games gold medalist Junna Tsukii has moved up in the rankings of the female kumite -50kilogram category as she improved to No. 8 in the list provided by the World Karate Federation (WKF).
Reason of that improvement was the gold medal win of the 29-year-old Tsukii during last week’s WKF Premier League, the first time she ruled the event after winning bronze twice in the past.
“World ranking #8,” said Tsukii in her caption with an emoji of the Philippine flag together with a screenshot of the world ranking on her Facebook page Thursday, May 6.

Islamabad : Intikhab Alam, a famous Karate player of Pakistan, who had represented the country in the 1996 World Karate Championship in Moscow, Russia, has established a Karate Academy in DHA Phase-II in Rawalpindi to teach young women and children the art of self-defence, enabling them to protect themselves in case they may face any threatening situation.
Intikhab Alam, known as Shihan Intikhab Alam, (Shihan is a title in the game of Karate) said that he established this karate academy in 2019 and the idea to train young women and children the art of self defence came to his mind after he read or heard about acts of violence and sexual abuse against young women and children being reported too frequently.
