Description

JOIN IFC! [https://iowafc.org/membership-account/membership-levels/] Nicole San Juan (or in Finnish TV, she's better known as Nikki Taifuun [https://www.instagram.com/nikki.taifuun/]) is a 36-year-old Finnish citizen of Filipino heritage whose interest in voluntary national defense skills and personal preparedness was sparked in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Having already exceeded the age limit for women's voluntary military service in Finland, she began exploring alternative ways to build practical skills and resilience. Over the past year, she has dedicated herself to shooting sports, particularly the Finnish discipline of adapted reservist shooting. While she does not yet own firearms of her own, she trains and competes actively with the support of her shooting club and her partner. The Finnish TV series, Maan puolustajat [https://areena.yle.fi/1-74263170], can be found HERE [https://areena.yle.fi/1-74263170]. There's some English spoken, but it's mostly Fin. Loosely translated, Maan puolustajat, means "National Defenders."
