Ronda Rousey – “by proxy I train the Navy Seals now”
Aside from living life on the farm and being a mom, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is staying busy. The former professional mixed martial artist and wrestler is thinking about opening up a dojo according to a report from CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri.
In the interview, Rousey said:
“I’m actually teaching a little bit. I have one student. My student Ricky Liddell was actually cornering against me when I was fighting, but he was my husband’s coach for a while and now he trains the Navy Seals. So, I like to say I by proxy I train the Navy Seals now and that’s what I do in my free time… I’ve really started to fall in love with teaching because when you’re a fighter, it’s like, ‘Ooh, this is something genius. This is awesome. This is going in my pocket, and I will tell no one until I catch somebody with it.’ Now it’s a different time in my life where I’m really excited to share these things and teach. My husband and I, when our boys graduate from high school in a couple of years, want to move to Hawaii and open a little dojo and have all the local kids come and train for free.”
The United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy’s primary special operations force and a component of the Naval Special Warfare Command. Among the SEALs’ main functions are conducting small-unit special operation missions in maritime, jungle, urban, arctic, mountainous, and desert environments. SEALs are typically ordered to capture or kill high-level targets, or to gather intelligence behind enemy lines.
