Victoria Vortex opens up about her journey from Judo to wrestling after a wrist injury changed everything. She talks about the struggle to find opponents her size, the feeling of not fitting in anywhere, and how stepping onto the mat gave her a kind of confidence that most people never experience.

Victoria dives into why she believes every woman should learn combat sports for their own safety and self-respect. She shares the real story behind the nickname Vortex, what it’s like growing up as a female wrestler, and how the only discrimination she faced came from other girls on her own team. She reflects on the fight that changed how she saw competition, the isolation that came with her sport, and the one thing wrestling took away from her youth.
