I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of these lands, the Awabakal people, on which we gratefully get to live and learn today.
I also acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and pay my respects to any elders listening in the past, present and emerging.
Today we sat down with Newcastle Female MMA fighter Danielle Drop Bear Curtis to pick up from our last pod in March last year.
In the last 12 months, the Drop Bear has represented Australia at the GAMMA World Titles, where she claimed a Gold medal as the biggest under-dog in the featherweight division, beating a pro fighter who was 3-0.
The Drop Bear also won a bantamweight title in March 2023 and is looking to keep the ball rolling this year under coach Rod Stander from Nova Martial Arts.
We also talked in depth about the challenges a female fighter faces with her monthly cycle and learning how to tailor her training around the days she knows her energy will be low. We discussed her diagnoses of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) & Endometriosis, which leave Danielle in crippling pain through her monthly cycle and how she navigates this in her professional career.
