00:00 Before he could get the medal in the just-finished Karate One Premier League Dublin 2023 in Ireland,
00:08 the Filipino-Japanese karateka Juna Choki'i, who is currently practicing for the Hangzhou Asian Games, did not stop.
00:16 Here's what Daryl O'Claris has to say.
00:18 After his campaign in the Karate One Premier League Dublin 2023 in Ireland,
00:26 the Filipino karateka Juna Choki'i immediately went to Turkey to practice for the Hangzhou Asian Games.
00:33 Despite not being able to make it to the podium, Choki'i still managed to finish the so-called tournament
00:39 in the 14th place out of the 67 karatekas who competed in the female Kumite under 50kg category.
00:47 In an interview with PTV Sports, the world games karate champion Choki'i said
00:52 the Premier League was a big help for him to get back to his game after recovering from a foot injury.
00:59 Choki'i also gave his attention to his preparation in Turkey for the quadrennial meet.
01:21 The main thing is mental control because when I fight, I want to attack, I want to take a point.
01:29 Because karate is not about power now. Timing and speed are the most important.
01:36 So I just fix my expert techniques and patience when I fight.
01:44 Choki'i will also be in the women's under 50kg Kumite where he won a bronze medal in the 2019 Asian Games held in Palemba and Jakarta, Indonesia.
01:55 Daryl O'Claris for the nation.
