Redacted text was in a MMA club until she started puberty and became aware of her femaleness, with growing breasts etc and because there was no female only club, decided to leave her club as she was wrestling intimately with boys who were touching her parts and she felt very very uncomfortable.
This was also very difficult for her as her teachers at the dojo said she was competition ready and would do very well. She self selected out of working towards belts and gaining medals.
This makes me very sad and angry as she also has SEN and her academic abilities are lower than her age group, but in MMA she excelled.
