Gina Carano Fan Experience: Inspired To The Ring

Posted by: p0d on August 29, 2010

My Name is Ryanne.

I’m sixteen years old and first saw Gina Carano on an American Gladiators marathon on MTV. I had watched mma with my four older brothers and dad, but until I saw her, I didn’t really know girls could fight. I didn’t know there was a place for us.

Because of Gina, I was introduced to Muay Thai and took my first lesson in late December. Recently, I won my first tournament and my record is now 3-0. Throughout the competition, I thought about how amazing it is that a person who I hadn’t even met before could have such an impact on my life. Looking back, I thought the Sport was cool, now I do it because I love it. It’s a part of my life that I can’t even think of giving up. I love fighting because it’s raw and has a huge range of pure emotion. It’s humbling to get hit, yet so empowering to hit someone. One day, I hope to travel to Thailand to fight.

If I could say anything to Gina, I’d thank her. She was an inspiration for me to get into Muay Thai, and it’s evolved from a fun hobby to an amazing passion of mine. Gina has done amazing things for Women’s Fighting and has influenced so many girls to follow their dreams in a guy’s sport. If I ever get the chance to have two seconds with her, I’d try to get her to realize how many amazing movements for female athletes she’s made.
