Dr Alina Abdul Rahim
Karate & Taekwando

With my busy schedule, I have only a few hours per week to exercise, so this is the best choice, Taekwando on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Karate on Wednesday. Both held at the nearby UKM campus and open to public. During each session, all my muscle being worked out from head to toe. You can release your tension by screaming and punching and kicking. You will be more alert in your everyday life. And if you want to be an assertive person, this way is better than reading 'how to' books.

Now I realise that for activities which I did regularly, like shooting and self defense, I don't have much photos. I wish I had. This one was taken in 2002 during my grading in Karate ( me in blue scarf)

As someone 10 years older than them and doing my doctorate, I usually become the counsellor for their education problems and became close friends after training sessions. This girl invited me to join her family during a Chinese New Year.

All smiles at a Chinese New Year party! But during sparring sessions everyone will hit or get beaten regardless of age and sex. I really encourage women to join self defense classes as a way of maintaining good figure and be assertive.
