UAE National Karate Team player Fatima Khasif won the silver medal in the women's kumite -68kg competition at the ongoing Asian Championships for men and women in Hangzhou, China.
Kumite, which literally means meeting of hands, is a kind of sparring where two karatekas (practitioner of karate) engage in combat training with blocks and attacks. Sparring is the only facet of karate that requires a partner.
Khasif secured her medal after defeating Saudi Arabia's Lama Kifi 6-0 in the first match, followed by a 10-3 victory over a Japanese player.
