Imagine fighting fifteen consecutive full-contact fights. Now imagine doing it again. And again. And again. On October 9th, 2004, Sensei Michelle Gay fought sixty one fights in her quest to become the first woman on record to complete one hundred bouts against other women. Though severe leg cramps prevented her from reaching her goal of one hundred fights, she did reach another goal, one even more dear to her. She brought together twenty-seven women to participate in this event, showcasing the diversity, skill and spirit of women in the martial arts. |

I began my martial arts training when I was 18 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan at a Tae Kwon Do Dojang in a steamy basement of an old warehouse soon to be demolished.
