Ms. Namita Nayyar:
On December 5, 2000 in Nippon Budokan, Japan you defeated Becky Levi and Mika Harigai to win the 2000 ReMix World Cup Championship Title. Tell us about this achievement of yours?
Ms. Marloes Coenen:
..and Megumi Fuji too. It was crazy. No weight classes form little Megumi (50kg) to Gundarenko (150kg) it was the Wild West in MMA. But it was fun. Those days will never come back. For a good reason. I was 19 years old, just started University had my first fight in Japan 1-2 weeks prior. I felt ;iek Alice in Wonderland. After Becky I thought I would walk over the little Megumi. Boy, I was in for a treat! At a certain point I could kick her in the face after I had punched her and she was suffering from it. But felt sorry for her and let her recover. Big mistake. I was exhausted and she kept throwing me around the ring for 15 minutes! The lesson I learned was to never pity anyone in the cage ever again.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Marloes Coenen:
We women are taught to be fragile, non conflicting and must think of an other before helping ourselves. As a fighter I do a ‘man’s job’. There are two things that I have learned over the years.
1. Women are way more stronger in physique and mind, than they think. We are lionesses thought to be sheeps! MMA, kickboxing are perfect tools to discover your inner strength.
NO need for sparring if that scares you. Working the pads can be enough. It’s about learning to release and energy that you are not taught to release. It’s liberating, trust me.
Empower yourself by martial arts.
2. Men and women are both humans. Think or yourself as a human first and then you find out that we are way more alike than different than men. We are raised differently. On the other hand, you can learn a lot of the ‘masculine behavioural’. For instance, woman talk – men do, right? But there is actually a lot of power and know how in ‘doing’ things together. Working out, going to the hammam, preparing dinner. Try it and enjoy.
At last: “Things you focus on, become bigger. So make them positive.”
