Early life

As she was 9 years old, She became acquainted with martial arts in the fitness center, where her elder sister used to practise Taekwondo for weight loss. However, she had to discontinue her training twelve years long due to serious burning injuries on her face she sustained from an accident with electric shock at the age of 13. Following a number of plastic surgeries, she returned to active sport and gained success in competitions. Her marriage with a trainer for martial arts helped her to extend the styles she is practicing onto five different disciplines.
