Glen Head dojo star wins her third national karate title By lUKE FEENEY lfeeney@liherald.com

Gloria Rosendo prides herself on her strength in any fight she finds herself in. At 18 years old, she made her first national karate team. The 21-year-old Astoria native and martial artist won her third consecutive karate national championship in Fort Worth Texas. The July 9-13 event featured over 1,200 competitors from across the country. She also won the title for her weight division, 55 kilograms or 121 pounds in 2023 and 2024. Rosendo began her karate journey at 5

years old. Her father signed her up for selfdefense classes while she was in elementary school but withdrew her when she was 10. Rosendo returned to karate at 15 after her mother enrolled her hoping to instill focus and discipline in her daughter. Her love for the sport has only increased throughout her countless hours of training. “I love the adrenaline,” she said. “And the idea of hitting people.” She emphasized the pride she had when hearing her name called. “The first thing you hear is Gloria from New York and it was nerve wracking because you know, wow,” she explained.
