Anastasia was born in Moscow, Russia and her family migrated to New Zealand when she was a teenager. Having always been a fiercely independent woman, she finds fight training a natural progression of her continued desire to find personal strength in all her activities. She found the joys of fight training when she started training at Auckland MMA in 2010. At first, she was just looking for a way to keep up her fitness, but has since fallen in love with the daily grind of learning the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.
In her debut novice fight in kickboxing just 7 months after she started training at AMMA, she showed heart and resilience in a very exciting back-and-forth bout with a more experienced kickboxer. Having been the first female fighter to represent AMMA in a fight, Anastasia has opened the door for other women to follow in her footsteps.
Anastasia is a business consultant who helps New Zealand small business start up and maintain operation. Hard press to find a hobby other than fight training, she often lists “eating ice cream” as another interest.
