Conversations about Sport Karate [Episode 1] feat. Maeghen Cotterill: "I think that what males were looking for in the 70s and 80s and 90s I mean… just as athletes that’s what we’re all looking for"

Elyse's Point guest this week is Maeghen Cotterill. Cotterill is an 11 time world gold medalist, President of WKU Team Canada, and Owner of 5 Elements Martial Arts in Calgary. We discuss the amazing rule set of sport karate, women participation in martial arts, strengthening sport karate in Western Canada, and sport karate in the media. 

Note: this interview was recorded June 28th, 2021. During the interview it is briefly mentioned how for the first time there is a team Afghanistan participating in the WKU this year. Due to unforeseen recent circumstances in Afghanistan that probably is not the case any more. It is unfortunate and heartbreaking.
