Sattari who is a gold medal holder in the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in 2017 and silver medal holder in the Asian Beach Games in 2014, told our reporter the following:
“I have come to Japan with a back pack of experience. Although, the experience is not good enough for someone who is among the few best Iranian legionnaires, present in the martial arts world. I believe a person is earning knowledge (or growing), in every second, minute and hour of his life. Even defeating the two Japanese champions in the first round and earning the world title in K1-Krush did not satisfy me and I felt like there was no one to confront me.”
