I didn’t know if I had the skills but I was game enough to try. And I got destroyed in that first fight.” “My face was destroyed in that fight,” she added. “The fight took place three days after I accepted it and I had never sparred before. That result may have been enough to turn lesser people away, but character is very big with me.
