In 2020 while serving as governor of Machakos county, Mutua revealed he was an expert in karate, judo, and kung fu.
“I have been training since I was 9 years old. I’m also a black belt holder,” he disclosed.
Mutua mentioned that he developed an interest in the sport after realizing he was very flexible, fast, and agile.
At 21 years, Mutua secured a chance to travel to the US while he enrolled in temple kung fu, a softer type of martial art in which they were taught how to map human bodies.
“When I was about nine years old, there was somebody who taught us sort-of kind of karate. It’s Japanese, and after that, I did Korean Taekwondo. In Taekwondo, you use more kicking. But later on in life when I was in the US studying, I did temple kung-fu which is more of the softer martial arts,” he said.
