I am Ingrid Verhij, 28 years old and living in The Hague. I watched the UFC at Yorin on television and thought: "That's cool ! That's what I want to join in ..."

My personal device is: "One should experience it all". And I try to realise this whenever possible.

I love sport and pushing out my frontiers. I am in the ideal position to make my hobby my work. Shortly I will be fulltime employed in the gym where I currently teach, among other things, karate and aerobics. This means that I will give up, after 7 years, my work as a group leader of deaf children, which in fact was a very pleasant job. My other hobbies are travelling and photography. And who knows I can benefit from them also during the UFC. Hopefully I get that far ! I look very much forward to enter this challenge. Probably it will be a hard time, but hopefully also combined with a lot of fun ...
