People see her as Kurnia Nanda Nirmala, a sweet and friendly girl, but I see her as more than that. She is not only a typical daughter but also a perfect gift for her parents. Lala, who people commonly call her, is a strong and active girl in martial arts. You will never know what she is until you read the list of medals she has collected.
She has been in love with this masculine sport since junior high school. She feels the sport suits her most because she is a bit tomboy. When her friends introduced her to it, she undoubtedly decided to join a martial art club in Purwokerto. She always felt challenged and cool and began participating in some competitions ever since. Some medals she has collected always inspire her to struggle better and better because victory deserves the best.
When I asked her who became her role model, she undoubtedly said that her coach was her idol for pursuing her dreams. He always guides her and the other athletes to stay focused on training and not give up. Such mentoring becomes the best medicine for athletes like her. Doing martial arts is challenging and tiring. Yet, tiresome often becomes the most complicated thing Lala especially has to manage. Not only does it make her saturated but also lazy to practise. Therefore, she is grateful for having her coach, who is always attentive and tolerant to his athletes. He always understands and gives the best for them.
Lala is a consistent person. That’s what I grasped when I asked her about her targets in living the sport. She always tries to be on the podium in each championship. Therefore, she should try harder and get focused to make maximum preparation. Besides, she has special kicks (sickle kick and front kick) that become her best strategies to win battles. The kicks force the feet to move fast, making an opponent’s body far from her and cannot counter kick her. At last, she insists that she always repeats everything in training and competitions to maintain what she has learned. It is all to help her get the powerful high sickle kick. (Brev)
