Interview with Angela Lee MMA Fighter

 

ASIANLICIOUS:  Do you have a mini bio about yourself?           

 

Angela Lee:  My name is Angela Lee and I’m 18 years old. I am a half Singaporean, half Korean girl born in Canada and raised in Hawaii. I grew up in my parents martial arts schools in Canada and Hawaii. I was always on the mats, watching the techniques, and eager to learn all that I could. I first began training at 3 years old, competing at 6 years old and that is when I began showing promise in martial arts. I excelled in all styles of martial arts competition and really enjoyed competing. Growing up in a martial arts family has provided me with an abundance of support that keeps me driven and motivated in my fighting career.

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   Have you ever used your skills in a real fight away from the ring?

 

Angela Lee:  No, I’ve never been in any sort of fight outside of the ring. I am not the type of person who goes around picking fights with people. I only use martial arts in the cage, or for self defense. 

 

ASIANLICIOUS:  What is the craziest story you could tell us?

 

Angela Lee:  My life is perfect. Simple with no craziness.

 

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   How did you feel when you were walking into the ring in your first fight? 

 

Angela Lee:  I was so nervous and excited at the same time.  

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   What are your hobbies outside of MMA?

 Angela Lee:   I enjoy spending quality time with my family, boyfriend, and new puppy. I love going to the beach, hiking, and enjoying the beautiful island of Oahu that I live on.

ASIANLICIOUS:   Any cool stories you could tell us from meeting your fans?? 

 

Angela Lee:  It was such a great experience meeting all of my fans in person and via Facebook. I thought it was really cool that I made so many fans in Singapore and  fans from all over the world. I was so happy that I got to finally sign an autograph for the first time!

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   Tell us about your website? ? 

 

Angela Lee:  I actually don’t have my own website right now but I am on my team’s website: unitedmma.net

My bio is on the instructor’s page.

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   What was your childhood like growing up?  

Angela Lee:  I grew up as a mat baby.   Martial arts has been the only thing I’ve known. It has always been a constant in my life from childhood until now.

 

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   Where do you see yourself five years from now?

 

Angela Lee:  In five years, I want to make leaps and bounds of progress for Women’s MMA especially in Asia. I have really big aspirations for myself and plan on breaking a lot of records. I want to be the youngest MMA World Champion, the first Women’s MMA Champion from Hawaii, the first Women’s MMA Champion in ONE, and the first Singaporean World Champion in ONE. My younger brother Christian will be fighting soon as well and we plan on being the first brother – sister world champions.

 

ASIANLICIOUS:  What do you do to inspire yourself? 

 

Angela Lee:  My family keeps me inspired and motivated to stay focused and not lose sight of my goals. 

 

ASIANLICIOUS:   What do you like to do for fun? 

 

Angela Lee:  I love spending time with my family, boyfriend, and puppy. I love going to the beach, hiking, watching movies, etc.
