Watch: Meet the 7-year-old Kashmiri girl who will represent India in World Kickboxing Championship
The army is supporting her training and is going to help send her to Italy.
Kashmiri 7-year-old girl from Kashmir's Bandipora, Tajamul has become the first Kashmiri girl to represent India at the World Kickboxing Championship to be held in Italy's Andria city, in November. She excels in Wushu and is also doing well in Taekwondo.
Her journey started in 2014 when she joined a local academy, which trains young boys and girls in martial arts. She was declared the best fighter of Jammu and Kashmir after she won the state level championship, held last year in Jammu, and took home a gold medal.
Tajamul is eagerly waiting for November, but her father, who works for a construction company, cannot afford to pay for the event fee and players kit. The army, which has supported Tajamul for the state and national events before, would facilitate her Italy plans.
