Our speaker for the day, Elisa Au, lives in Evanston , but originally comes from Hawaii.  She started Karate at age 5.  While she enjoyed learning the moves and the exact precision in the movements, she really loved the competition which started about 9 years old.  In 2002, while in her early 20’s, she won the world championship in both her weight class and in the open weight class and became part of the US National Karate Team.
 
She retired in 2010, but in 2016 she heard that Karate would be part of the Olympics in 2020.  She elected to follow her dream to be part of the Olympic team in 2016 and won the US Open in 2017.  In 2018, she tore her ACL at the 2018 US Open.  In 2019, she was off to Paris for the World Championships and then on to Colorado to train for the Olympics.  Wish her luck on the Road to Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics.
