UNDERSTANDING THE AWAKENING RATING

The Awakening rating is essentially letting you know how inspirational an athlete is. The idea is to highlight the athletes careers so their achievements are not forgotten. Unfortunately we can only calculate based on the information we have in our database. When we uncover, or are supplied with new information the score will be recalculated.

The rating system is very complex and allows for all the nuances within the multiple disciplines. Some disciplines don’t have grading systems, others don;t have a W-L-D record. These kinds of differences have been accounted for. The most essential thing is the overall contribution to the female martial arts scene.

Valentina tells Awakening, “I start Martial Arts when I was 5 years old. Martial Arts in my family it’s like tradition. My mother she is 3rd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, and President of Muaythai Federation in Kyrgyzstan. My older sister she is 7 time World Champion. All my life I do Martial Arts. For me this is more than just sport. It’s my philosophy, it’s my life.”
