When and why did you start training for fighting? I came across a self-defense gym, Krav Maga, around 2011 and trained while I was in college. About a year or so into training I got around to watching MMA and particularly Invicta FC. I was extremely intrigued and driven by all the women in the organization. I found myself training every day and had this gut feeling that this was the sport I was meant to pursue. Never in my life have I been so motivated, so addicted to a sport. It’s in my blood.
