Among the best female fighters in the heavyweight category in Europe. Good all round fighting style with strong punching and punishing Mae geri`s,has been some of the skills that has brought the Polish fighter on the EC podium several times. 2.place EC in 2013,14 and 3rd place 2015. Open weight EC 3rd place 2014. 3rd in the EC 2016/18 and European Champion KWU 2016! World Champion IFK and KWU 2017 runner up in 2019! Captured the top spot EC Shin 2019, 2nd in 2021.
Back in the days, the waza-ari`s never came easy! Some really old classic to see, and some of the non Japanese fighters who manage to leave a mark in the Kyokushin history in an early stage.
