Red fury karate

Abigail Rogers is a fifteen-year-old karate tournament competitor and epilepsy warrior.  She was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was six years old.  When she was nine, she started studying Wado-Ryu Karate at the Milan Martial Arts Academy under Sensei Seth Lee.  She earned a first-degree black belt before transferring to Lexington Wado Ryu, where she currently studies with Sensei Thomas Mitchell.

Abigail is a frequent  tournament competitor with many victories in traditional forms and weapons, and point sparring.  This season, she is adding creative forms and weapons to her repertoire.  In March 2024, she was invited to join Team Heartland - a national sports martial arts competition team, and in April, they made her a team captain.  She is thrilled to be a part of the team!

In addition to her martial arts, Abigail is an advocate for people who have epilepsy.  She works to raise awareness about epilepsy and to help people understand that their epilepsy doesn't have to keep them from their goals.  When she is not training, competing, or advocating, Abigail is an active member of the North Jackson Church of Christ in Jackson, TN, and enjoys whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, and playing Dungeons & Dragons.
