00:00 So Sheena, what do you say to people when they say that's a crazy sport, you wouldn't

00:07 do it.

00:09 What do you say to people about this?

00:11 Because you've competed in judo.

00:12 Yes.

00:13 You know, you've competed in bodybuilding and fitness competitions.

00:17 What is it about power slap?

00:18 He said, you know what, because you seem to embrace it and you're becoming the face of

00:22 this.

00:23 What is it about this sport that you love so much?

00:26 Because you feel a connection with the fans as well, don't you?

00:29 I think in each sport I try to reach the highlights of my ability.

00:34 And then I moved on.

00:35 I can easily get bored, you know, once I discovered the sport.

00:41 And I still love it.

00:42 I still have my heart for this.

00:43 But power slap was something new, something unique.

00:47 It needs so much courage, you know, which not all the competitors have.

00:53 And that's why not so many women are doing it, you know, and definitely needs so much

00:56 power.

00:57 Because you not only have to hit hard, you also have to take the slap.

01:00 So I was like, I can see myself in this division.

01:06 And as you can see, I'm almost two years and it just keeps growing.

01:10 And I'm getting even more confident and more comfortable with this.

01:16 Let me ask you, that might sound like a novice question, but, you know, fighters train, they're

01:21 wearing headgear, etc.

01:23 Everyone was asking me this.

01:24 How do they train to eat these shots?

01:27 Right, because you don't want to get slapped in the face every day.

01:30 Right.

01:31 So how do you how do you train?

01:34 Is it sort of like boxing?

01:35 You're wearing headgears?

01:36 Are you taking headshots?

01:37 Like, how do you how do you prepare for that?

01:41 I would say my past relationship prepared me for that.

01:45 But currently, I'm just taking slaps only on the competition.

01:49 But I already know that I am able to take it.

01:53 That's enough.

01:54 On another note, is that is it?

01:56 Is it hard?

01:57 Because I can imagine men would be intimidated from you knowing just how tough you are.

02:02 Yes, they are.

02:03 I don't blame them for that.

02:04 You're going to need a tough ass dude.

02:05 You see our KOs?

02:06 Oh, God.

02:07 Yeah.

02:08 Yeah.

02:09 Yeah.

02:10 Yeah.
