    Alta's Warrior Training Program has been instrumental in bringing more women into MMA; with 25% female participation rates achieved and growing

    Everyday women, not just professional fighters, embrace the discipline, fitness, and community that martial arts offer

    With the UFC fanbase estimated to be 39% female, converting female fans to participants represents a significant opportunity for Alta.

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2024 / Alta Global Group (NYSE:MMA) ("Alta" or the "Company"), a pioneering technology company dedicated to transforming the landscape of martial arts and combat sports training is making significant strides in promoting inclusivity and empowering women through its innovative programs. One of the key initiatives is the Warrior Training Program, which has been instrumental in breaking down barriers and fostering a supportive environment for women of all ages to thrive in martial arts. Laura Sanko, a former professional MMA fighter, UFC commentator, and ambassador for Alta, shared her insights on this transformative program in an exclusive interview.

    Interview with Laura Sanko

    Interviewer: Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Laura Sanko, a former professional MMA fighter, UFC commentator, and ambassador for Alta. Laura, thank you for joining us.

    Laura Sanko (LS): Thank you for having me. It's always great to talk about the positive impact that initiatives like Alta are having on the world of martial arts.

    Interviewer: Absolutely. Let's dive into it. Alta has a strong focus on empowering community-driven growth in the global martial arts and combat sports sector. As a female ambassador, how do you see Alta contributing to the inclusion and growth of women in this space?

    LS: Alta is doing something remarkable by breaking down barriers and making martial arts more accessible to everyone. One of the things that stood out to me is the significant female participation rates they've achieved. The Warrior Training Program, in particular, has been instrumental in bringing more women into the world of mixed martial arts. It's providing a platform for females of all ages to explore and thrive in these disciplines.

    Interviewer: That's fantastic to hear. The Warrior Training Program seems to be a pivotal aspect of this inclusivity. Can you share your thoughts on how this program, and Alta in general, is encouraging more women to get involved in martial arts and combat sports?

    LS: Absolutely. The Warrior Training Program, with its 20-week syllabus, is designed to turn absolute beginners into well-rounded fighters. What's great is that it acts as an "on ramp" to learning the fundamentals of various disciplines, including wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, boxing, and more. For women who might have been hesitant to join in the past, this program provides a structured and supportive environment to build skills and confidence. The inclusivity Alta promotes has been a game-changer for women in martial arts.

    Interviewer: It's clear that Alta is making strides in reshaping the participation demographics. Can you share any personal experiences or observations from your role as an ambassador, witnessing the impact on female participants?

    LS: Absolutely. As an ambassador, I've had the privilege of interacting with participants, both in person and through the community Alta has created. What's remarkable is seeing the diverse group of women coming together, supporting each other's journeys. We're not just talking about professional fighters; we're talking about everyday women who want to embrace the discipline, fitness, and community that martial arts offer. Alta is fostering an environment where women feel comfortable, empowered, and excited to be a part of this world.

    Interviewer: As a former professional MMA fighter and a commentator, you have a unique perspective on the growth of the sport. How do you see Alta's approach influencing the broader landscape of women's participation in martial arts and combat sports?

    LS: Alta is making a significant impact on the landscape. By offering a comprehensive platform that goes beyond physical training, it's creating a culture of inclusivity. This is crucial for the growth of women's participation in martial arts and combat sports. The visibility of successful female participants, the support from ambassadors, and the digital community all contribute to breaking down stereotypes and encouraging more women to step onto the mat.

    Interviewer: Lastly, looking ahead, what do you hope to see in the future regarding women's involvement in martial arts, and how do you think platforms like Alta will continue to play a role?

    LS: I hope to see even more women stepping into gyms, embracing the discipline, and finding empowerment through martial arts. Alta's approach of combining technology, community, and structured training programs is a blueprint for success. I believe platforms like Alta will continue to be instrumental in shaping the narrative around women in martial arts, making it clear that this world is for everyone, regardless of gender.

    Interviewer: Thank you, Laura, for sharing your insights and experiences. It's evident that Alta is not only providing training programs but is also fostering a cultural shift in the world of martial arts, making it more accessible and inclusive for women.

    LS: My pleasure. It's an exciting time for the sport, and I'm proud to be a part of initiatives that are making a positive impact. Thank you.
