She was a fighter
Champion kick boxer
Black belt  in tie kwon do
Through the sweat
Through the tears
She excelled over them all

She was strong
Both in body
As well as in mind
She fought
She trained
She was the best

Off the mat
She fought only in self-defense
She never started a fight
But she knew how to finish it
And finish it quickly

Off the mat
Out of the ring
She was sociable and engaging
Laughing and joking
Talking it up with friends

In the ring
On the mat
It was all business
Fight or lose
Tears shed
Blood spilt
She gave it all she got
Then she'd give some more
