S3 Ep5: The Extraordinary Ordinary with Hasina Rahman

The Extraordinary Ordinary, the podcast from Women of the Year

Our guest today is Hasina Rahman, a young woman whose unwavering determination and courage led her to embark on a transformative martial arts journey starting when she was a teenager. Her story is a testament to the power of self-belief, resilience, and passion.
Hasina founded Pink Diamond Martial Arts in 2015 in Luton. The idea had come to her while she was at home looking after her four-month-old baby and toddler. Being a fully certified personal trainer with expertise in three different martial arts disciplines, including karate, kick-boxing, and Muay Thai, she aspired to create a business that merged her passion for martial arts whilst also empowering women and girls to rediscover themselves physically and mentally. This led to her brainchild of establishing an exclusive women's combat club, and Pink Diamond Martial Arts opened its doors offering instruction in Muay Thai, mixed martial arts, and self-defense.
Hasina serves as the head instructor at Pink Diamond Martial Arts, where she conducts classes and manages day-to-day operations. Pink Diamond Martial Arts also runs self-defence workshops around the UK, teaching women life-saving techniques. Remarkably, she has also authored a children's book titled "Heroes: A Guide to Anti-Bullying."
