Hey there, I’m Karoliina, a 24-year-old from Estonia, and I’m thrilled to share my journey from Muay Thai to MMA with you.

High school was a time of exploration for me, trying out different hobbies until I found my true love: Muay Thai. The rush of adrenaline and the sense of discipline captivated me like nothing else.

Spontaneously, I decided to move to Thailand to dive deeper into the world of combat sports. Surrounded by the culture and intensity of Muay Thai, I felt alive.

Through it all, my mother’s unwavering support kept me going. Her belief in my independence and her encouragement fueled my ambition, even when doubts crept in.

Transitioning to MMA was challenging, but with the support of strong women in my life and my own determination, I pushed forward.

My journey isn’t just about fighting—it’s about embracing passion, overcoming obstacles, and building a supportive community.
