🥉🇧🇩 HISTORY MADE! 🇧🇩🥉

A huge congratulations once again to our own Adam Choudhury, who won a bronze medal in Male Junior Kata at the 24th Asian Karate Championships in Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴

This is another incredible achievement for Adam and a historic moment for the Bangladesh Karate Federation, with Adam becoming the first Bangladeshi athlete to win a medal at the Asian Karate Championships! 👏

Well done, Adam! Congratulations also to your parents, whose incredible support allows you to travel around the world and pursue your dreams.
