ROSE ATHENA
After training in kickboxing for two years, I took on Battlefield Fight League as a client and suddenly became deeply embedded in the martial arts scene of Vancouver.
Of all the communities I had photographed in my career, martial artists were by far the most welcoming.
While I was completing my master of Business back home in Calgary, Alberta, I joined my local MMA gym, Champions Creed, and started my jiu-jitsu journey.
After finishing my MBA, I traveled across the United States, from Texas to Florida, dropping in at different gyms, and meeting a variety of dedicated, talented coaches.
I decided to start this training camp in celebration of the incredible connections that the international mixed martial arts community has to offer, and the resiliency and pride that involvement in the sport instills.
I will be leading the yoga portion of the fight camp at the beginning of every day.
