In the wonderful, quirky state of Virginia, sometimes known as VA, you'll find all sorts of interesting things. Virginia is home to the world's largest peanut monument, and is known for its love of ham. But there's one thing that Virginia is even more famous for... its karate-kicking kids! And leading this pack of high-kicking youngsters is our cool, imaginary friend: Karate Kiki, a chicken who’s also a Karate master. Yes, you heard that right, a chicken! Kiki flaps around Virginia, her feathers shining in the sun, squawking out "Kiai!" - that's a karate shout, you know. With her yellow belt tied firmly around her fluffy waist, she leads her little troop of karate kids, training them to be the best they can be. Kiki is not your typical chicken, she doesn't lay eggs, but she definitely knows how to crack a joke! Karate Kiki and her VA karate kids are an amazing sight, they don't just chop the air, but they chop their homework into pieces (after they've finished it, of course) and sometimes, when they're feeling extra brave, they chop their vegetables for dinner. But it's not all about the high kicks and karate chops. Kiki and her crew also learn about discipline, respect, and friendship. Even though Kiki can be a bit of a wise-clucking chicken, she always ensures the kids know that karate is about more than just fighting. It's about becoming the best version of yourself, in and outside of the dojo. So, if you ever visit Virginia and see a crowd of kids following a karate-kicking chicken, don’t be surprised, it’s just Karate Kiki and her troop of VA karate kids, preparing to save the world, one karate chop at a time!
