Warrior Kaur

The Warrior Kaur profiles Harleen, a young Sikh woman and accomplished martial artist who holds a second-degree black belt in karate and was approached by GB Taekwondo's Olympic program with an eye toward the 2024 Games.

Backed by devoted parents—a mother who works around the clock washing uniforms and a father who pushes her technique—Harleen connects her fighting spirit directly to Sikh history and the warrior tradition embedded in her identity, using it as both motivation and a source of fearless confidence.

Beyond competition, the film shows Harleen passing her skills on to young people, advocating for girls in sport, and doing gender equality work with girls in India.

As the youngest recipient of the Asian Women of Achievement Award, she reframes the weight of expectation not as pressure but as fuel—embodying the meaning of her names, Kaur (princess) and Singh (lion), while building toward her ultimate goal of opening her own martial arts academy.
