I started training in Muay Thai & Pankration in November 1998 mainly to get in shape and have fun. After 3 months of training, I tested for my yellow belt in Pankration & entered my first tournament. I won my first kickboxing match against a purple belt, and lost my second match to a more experienced girl from our gym. I won 3rd place in the division. I also won 1st place in the white-green belt sport-jujitsu division.
