LAURA HOWARTH
“If it was easy, everyone would do it, i want to be that person who achieves the unachievable.”
5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT LAURA HOWARTH
WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY OF TRAINING LIKE?
My training changes up depending on my working hours but generally it’s strength and conditioning in the morning, then technique during the day and wrestling, wall-work and sparring in the evening. I also look after my niece a couple times a week. She is 4 and loves to come with me so I always spend a bit of time training her too! She loves a good takedown.
WHAT GOT YOU INTO MARTIAL ARTS?
I decided I want to start karate at the age of 8, and have grown with the sport ever since transitioning into other martial arts as I grew. Whilst training muay thai one day there was an mma class going on at the same time and I decided I wanted to try it. So the next class I jumped in and struggled my whole way through it. At the end of the session I was mentally broken, and decided I had to keep going and fell in love with the challenge.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
Power mimicry would allow me to copy or absorb another’s powers or skills. So what ever I faced I would be able to absorb and do the same back and I could constantly evolve as a person.
IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE, LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD YOU MEET AND WHY?
I would like to meet some of my ancestors. My grandma recently passed away and when we cleared her house there was so much history shut away in the attic which we didn’t know much about. Now we can’t ask her. Our family has traveled a lot by the looks of it and there are artifacts and things that seem to be sentimental that I would love to know their origins and who gave it to who.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY FICTIONAL CHARACTER, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
You know what they say… always be yourself unless you can be Batman. Then be Batman. I like this… but instead of Batman I would be Wonder Woman! It’s cliche but she’s pretty awesome!
