Q & A

Q: When and why did you start training for fighting?

ANSWER: I started early, at about 7-8 years old. I watched a lot of action movies, such as Resident Evil, 13th District, and I was impressed by characters, especially female characters, who could defend themselves well. Also, I started training because I wanted to defend myself in real life, because I was bullied a lot in the neighborhood and at school (especially at school).
