Mya started Kyokushin Karate at 5 years old at the Banff Dojo. Well, actually 4, her parents misrepresented her age! Throughout her time she has attended training camps, and been an active competitor through her junior years in kata, non contact, and knockdown divisions. Mya has competed recently (2024) in Japan and earned her 1st kyu August 2025.
Mya is an avid big mountain skier, and helps coach young people on the mountain too. Throughout the years Mya’s younger siblings have both trained in the dojo as well.
