Ramisha has been attending the Masters of Martial Arts Academy in Blackburn for more than two years.
“My dad suggested it as he encouraged me to do self-defence and I found I actually enjoyed it.”
Ramisha trains most days and also coaches and helps out at the club as well. She recently competed at the United Nations of Ju-Jitsu World Congress and Championships in Germany.
“It’s the first time I have competed abroad I enjoyed it. I took part in a number of events in different age and weight categories. There was Kata, a Pairs Demonstration, Random Attack, Ground Fighting, Continuous Fight and Sparring.”
“There were six events and I won four golds, one silver and one bronze medal. I will move up a category from beginner to intermediate this month and I am currently taking my Orange Belt Green Stripe.”
“I like it, it’s fun, it’s disciplined and I have made a lot of friends.”
