Then Came the Accident
When Rousey was eight years old, she was the victim of a horrific tragedy. Ronda and her family went sledding during that winter, and it was the moment when their lives were permanently altered. In a skiing accident, her father fractured his back. He was a sledding enthusiast. Ron was rendered immobile from the waist down as a result of a blood issue that had not been identified before. This condition was preventing him from mending correctly. The fact that the doctors only gave him a few more years to live caused him to spiral out of control, which ultimately led to him killing his own life off.

Learning from Mom
It was when Ronda was 11 years old that she began her training with her mother. After putting in a lot of effort and learning everything she could about judo, she eventually became powerful enough to accidently break her mother’s wrist. This moment occurred a couple of years later. When Ronda was just 15 years old, she entered the Olympic squad, demonstrating that she was a natural fighter to begin with. She made history by becoming the youngest American to ever reach the position of number one in her weight category the following year, when she was ranked number one in her weight category.
