Ruqsana Begum

Ruqsana Begum from east London is a Muay Thai kickboxing world champion, but for five years she kept her sport from her family. As a young woman from a Bangladeshi, Muslim family, Ruqsana struggled for years to balance her faith and culture with the fast, furious and brutal sport she fell in love with - even hiding her trophies.
