There weren’t many girls when I was younger so I used to have to fight all the boys. I quit karate when I was about 12 or 13 and focused on ballet because at the time, there weren’t a lot of female combat athletes to look up to in mainstream media. I’m glad I found the sport again when I was older but always feel like I missed out on many years of training because female fighters weren’t being promoted back then and I didn’t have anyone to look up to. This weekend was a different story. There were multiple girl divisions in different belt ranks and weight classes! I was so happy I almost started crying in the stands. I went to Bellator the night before which had a double main event featuring two world class female fighters! 😭❤️ so exciting. First pic is with my very first coach EVER! Thank you for laying down the foundation. Last pic is baby ju 😂 #osu 子どもの時私がやてた空手のトーナメントに行きました！子どものときには女の子があんまりいなかつたので、よく男の子と試合をやってました！女子のかくとうかが私が小さい時あんまりテレビでみなかったし、どうじょうでも女の子がいなかったです。このりゆうで大好きな空手を1２か13歳の時で大好きな空手をやめてしまいました😭😭もう少し大きくなったらよくUFCで女の試合がでてきました！それでまたかくとうぎをやり始めました😊😊今年のトーナメントでは女の子がいっぱいいました！うれしくってうれしくって泣きそうでした！いっぱい小さな女の子ファイターを見てパワーをもらいました✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼頑張ります！」5月1日 12時06分
