\u201cThat\u2019s deep.\u201d My twelve-year old nieces WhatsApp message read, in response to a UFC 193\u00a0promo<\/a> that I had sent, featuring now former Bantamweight Champions Holly Holm and Rondy Rousey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a world in which young girls are subscribed to the channels of immature insensitive You Tube presenters like Logan Paul, and merely making up the numbers on the followers list of scantily clad popstars, I felt that watching a depiction of two women, who through hard work and determination had reached the pinnacle of their sport, could inspire a confidence and belief from within that the Miley Cyrus\u2019s of this world had failed to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the reservations that some parents may have about the sport of MMA, it is my view that women who fight in mixed martial arts are excellent role models for both their daughters and sons alike.<\/p>\n

And here are some of the reasons why\u2026<\/p>\n

Body Image and Independence<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what? I would beat the crap out of Kim Kardashian actually. Any girl who is famous and idolized because she made a sex video with some guy\u2026girls like Kim Kardashian are being pushed in my little sister\u2019s face, and it\u2019s just not healthy. She shouldn\u2019t need to have role models like this\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey, former UFC Bantamweight Champion, speaking at the unveiling of ESPN\u2019s body issue<\/a> back in 2012.<\/p>\n

Five years on, many continue to criticise the way in which she dealt with back to back losses against Holm and Nunes, yet the part that the Olympic bronze medalist played in promoting a healthy body image for young women across the globe can\u2019t be denied.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople like to say that my body looks masculine\u2026\u201d She told the UFC Embedded team in the days preceding what would be a blistering first round defeat over Bethe Correia. \u201cI\u2019m just like listen. Just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f*cking millionaires, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s masculine\u2026I think it\u2019s femininely badass as f*ck because there\u2019s not a single muscle in my body that isn\u2019t for a purpose because I\u2019m not a Do-Nothing Bitch<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, her use of the latter term (meaning a woman who\u2019s main goal in life is to look good and be taken care of by a man) evolved into a campaign known as \u201cNo DNB\u2019S\u201d, the portion of the proceeds going to Didi Hirsch for their work with women who have body image and mental health issues.<\/p>\n

Mental Health Awareness and the Humbling of Bullies<\/p>\n

Rose Namajunas<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cJoanna can say I\u2019m mentally unstable\u2026and she might be right. I think that\u2019s what makes me so great of a fighter. I\u2019m crazy as hell and fighting helps me with that\u2026I think if more people would hit a bag and more people would train martial arts the right way I think there would be less tragedies in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current Strawweight Champion, \u2018Thug\u2019 Rose Namajunas, speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA hour<\/a> in the run up to UFC 217 and her decisive victory over Joanna Jedrzejczyk.<\/p>\n

On foot of her opponent\u2019s hurtful remarks, Namajunas refused to shy away from her past, being nothing but open with the media regarding her struggle with mental health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up with lots of anger, frustration and violence in my heart.\u201d Said Namajunas, \u201cIn my childhood I was (sexually) abused. There were a lot of drugs and violence around me. I come from a place of lots of turmoil\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have overcome some demons in my path,\u201d She continued. \u201c\u2026I\u2019m so much stronger from it and I\u2019m going to continue to be stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

With an estimated<\/a> 17.1 million children having been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder in the United States, such open dialogue from women like Namajunas who have not only survived trauma, but harnessed their pain as a source of motivation to succeed, are essential when it comes to destigmatising mental health issues, thereby encouraging children to speak out rather than bottle up their emotions.<\/p>\n

Under the psychological pressure of incessant verbal abuse from an opponent whose tactics verged on bullying, the Milwaukee native\u2019s ability to not only remain calm and respectful, but ultimately emerge victorious, also serves as an important lesson to the young on humbling a bully<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the negativity that I felt coming from her, it just reminded me where I came from. I wasn\u2019t going to let that shut me down\u2026. I\u2019ve dealt with a lot worse in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accepting who you are<\/p>\n

Amanda Nunes, the first openly gay Champion in the UFC, along with her partner, Strawweight title contender Nina Ansaroff, has never shied away from publicly discussing her relationship and in turn, her sexuality.<\/p>\n

Nunes was in fact recently honoured with the Equality Visibility Award from Equality California, a prominent LGBTQ non for profit organisation.<\/p>\n

Her relationship with Ansaroff has undoubtedly helped many young people who are struggling to accept their own sexuality, and this is something that Nunes welcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I know how much weight I carry for being gay, for being a champion, and for being a mirror for many young girls.\u201d She told Fernanda Prates from USA Today sports. \u201cSince childhood, I was already in love with girls. It\u2019s how I\u2019m born\u2026with me talking about this, maybe its easier for kids who are going through the same things to be more open with their parents and siblings\u2026I want to help with the things that were hard for me…I accomplished my dreams, and I\u2019m gay.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 92% of LGBT youth expressing<\/a> that they hear negative messages about being LGBT, the visibility of positive LGBT role models in sport like Nunes and Ansaroff is now more vital than ever.<\/p>\n

Overcoming adversity<\/p>\n

From my hometown city, Dublin Ireland, multiple world kickboxing Champion and Irish Open title holder Caradh O’ Donovan<\/a> is on track to represent Ireland in the 2020 Olympics in the martial art discipline of Karate.<\/p>\n

Yet O’ Donovan\u2019s involvement in mixed martial arts has not been without it\u2019s setbacks.<\/p>\n

Having suffered debilitating symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss throughout her fight career, in 2014, Caradh was diagnosed with Crohns disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease that effects the intestines.<\/p>\n

“When I look back and think of the pain I was in, I don\u2019t know how I did it,\u201d she confesses to The42.ie, \u201cI was literally spending hours vomiting and five minutes later, I\u2019d have to go and compete.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI never really spoke about it,\u201d She continues, \u201cI hated having that excuse for why you lose: \u2018Oh I was sick.\u2019 It sounds like you\u2019re being a bad loser, but really, that was what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to be a little bit humble or gracious in defeat so you just say, \u2018well done.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, with the clarity of a diagnosis and under the supervision of the medical team at St Vincent\u2019s hospital, O’ Donovan manages her condition to the best of her ability, and now, in her 30\u2019s, feels stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel fitter and healthier now than I was ten years ago. At the minute, I feel like I can go for another ten years. And I still think I\u2019ve yet to get to my best in sport, so I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so, with the purpose of writing this piece, I requested that O’ Donovan take time out from her busy training schedule to give her take on the benefits that martial arts can bring to young women.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a lot of obvious benefits from fitness to good physical health.\u201d She advised, \u201cI think martial arts goes far beyond that and is really positive for mental health, confidence building, building social networks and also for self-defence. Luckily it\u2019s no longer as heavily male dominated so lots of young girls are getting involved at both participation and performance levels within mixed martial arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing the apprehension that some young women can feel at entering a martial arts gym, O’ Donovan spoke about her own anxiety around signing up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started kickboxing when I was twelve and I was really self-conscious and insecure at that age. I made sure I started along with other beginners which helped me at the start. But after a while of training I realised that there\u2019s no need to be insecure at all: the people your training with are so supportive and I realised that everyone is so focused on their own training to even notice that you\u2019re new or a beginner\u2026so just go for it and join!\u201d<\/p>\n

On whether martial arts can be an empowering tool for young girls, Caradh has no doubt.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes absolutely\u2026martial arts shows that displaying certain levels of aggression, competitiveness and confidence are a positive thing, and that it\u2019s ok for women to display these qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking all of the above into account, you can imagine my delight when I received a message from my niece asking for more information on the martial art of Jiu Jitsu.<\/p>\n

Having sent on all the information that I could gather, it was a while before her response came, posed with a cheeky grin.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo pink belt?\u201d<\/p>\n
