Over time, Aanisha has learned to handle pressure better. Today, she believes in herself and the training process, which helps her stay focused on winning without overthinking.

Now stepping into the role of a teacher-in-training, Aanisha feels a surprising but familiar eagerness to embrace this new path. She sees many similarities between teaching and being an athlete — the endless learning, sharing knowledge, and helping others grow.

She plans to use her dual passions of karate and teaching to inspire the next generation. Through karate, Aanisha has learned that growth comes from consistency, respect, and pushing past limits. As a teacher, she wants her students to understand that setbacks are part of the journey and that they are stronger and more capable than they realize.

Aanisha encourages young girls in Bhutan not to be afraid to dream big. Setbacks, she says, are opportunities to learn and grow. Giving up is never the answer — dreams should be pursued with excitement and courage.

Believing in oneself is crucial, Aanisha believes, especially when others may doubt you. Self-belief gives the courage to move forward, focus, and turn setbacks into growth.

Karate has taught her many lessons, but discipline stands out. It’s not just about following rules — it’s about showing up consistently, staying focused, and pushing through challenges, no matter how hard. This mindset has guided her in studying, teaching, and chasing her goals.

For Aanisha, success goes beyond medals and titles. It’s about constantly striving to be better than yesterday and learning from every win and loss.

To take care of her mental and physical well-being, she trains smart and rests enough to keep her body ready. Mentally, she stays positive and talks to friends or coaches when things get tough.

If a young girl were to say, “I want to be like you,” Aanisha would humbly thank her and remind her that everyone has unique strengths and can shine in their own way — sometimes even better.

Throughout her journey, Aanisha credits her family and community for being her biggest supporters. Her parents have always believed in her, and her friends, especially one named Tashi, have kept her motivated with a mix of humor and tough love. The wider community’s encouragement has been a constant source of inspiration.

Aanisha hopes to leave a legacy reminding girls in Bhutan that they can achieve great things and should never limit themselves. She wants success to be understood as personal growth, not just winning. For Bhutan, she wants to represent the country with pride and passion. And for her future students, she hopes to be remembered as someone who believed in them, pushed them to grow, and inspired them to harness their own power to create a meaningful impact.
