Mad Mad Madison

Madison started karate when she was six years old. She got her nickname Mad Mad Madison long before that though. Her parents started calling her that when she was just a baby because of her crazy curly hair that reminded everyone of a mad scientist. 
Madison took karate two days a week for the first couple of months but soon realized that it was what she loved to do and began taking classes four nights a week. She started competing in 2008 and was hooked immmediately. In 2009 she began training in the cage. Madison loved to cagefight but unfortunately it was outlawed for minors in her home state in 2010. She remains undefeated at 3-0.
Madison recieved her adult black belt in September of 2009. It was a four hour belt promotion and pushed Madison to her limits. She did it along side two adult men. She said it was the hardest thing  she has ever done and absolutely her biggest accomplishment. Madison just got her blue belt in BJJ on February 18th  2011 and her adult second degree black belt on March 12th 2011. Madison was also named Sempai of her Dojo which is a great honor that few are given.
In 2009 Madison delivered her first knockout kick to the head at a tournament. She realized then that she might be good at kickboxing. Turns out she was right. She became the 2010 USAKA Kickboxing National Champion. 
Madison still trains four days a week for three to four hours each night. She teaches her own underbelt karate class four nights a week and sometimes five if something special is going on like a belt promotion. She travels on the weekends to compete. 
Madison has a lot of hobbies that she enjoys outside of martial arts. She just recently started deer hunting with her dad. She has not shot a deer yet but is sure she will next season. Her dad says she is quite a shot and will have no trouble if one gets in her sights. She also enjoys antique tractor pulling with her dad and grandpa. She just recently got tall enough to compete. She won both competitions she entered. She managed to pull off both wins with a field of all adult men. What a great thing to see happen. 
Madison is an honor roll student and has maintained that status her entire school career. She loves school and is hoping to one day to become a medical examiner after she is too old to fight. 
Madison goes to church every Sunday and loves Sunday school. She is very grateful to God for the opportunities she has been given and the ones he has in store for her in the future.
