Delphine Uwase’s story might be summarized as “born to be an actress, made to be a martial artist.” She is best known as Soleil in the Rwandan film series “Bamenya Series,” in which she occasionally displayed some martial arts acting in various sequences.
Being one of the females who do so, with a black belt in Karate, one might need to understand a thing or two about her life as an actor and, more specifically, a Karateka.
Soleil, actual name Delphine Ortha Uwase, is a businesswoman with martial arts and acting skills.
She is currently pursuing her ambition of acting, which has also inspired her to pursue martial arts.
Uwase began Karate at the age of 12 in 2007. She was a Senior Two student at the time.
“My interest in Karate stemmed from my love of action movies.” “I used to enjoy watching American actress Cynthia Rothrock in films like ‘Red Dragon’ and ‘Angels,'” she says in an interview with Weekend Sport.
“As a result, I read more about her life and discovered that she was an actress who competed in more than eight martial arts competitions and won them all.” “I started Karate because I was inspired by her martial arts acting,” she adds.
