Katherine Connor, better known by her fight name “Kunoichi,”is a seasoned martial artist whose deep devotion to her craft has made her a force to be reckoned with. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and now fighting out ofStockton, California, the 5'9" orthodox fighter brings a blend of elegance and violence into the ring—cutting her teeth in Atlanta's "DirtySouth" and now unleashing West Coast. She boasts an impressive résumé in Muay Thai and kickboxing, boasting a 29-3 record and multiple world and national amateur titles, including three TBA World Championships and accolades from WAKO, IKF, and WKA. Her journey began not out of aggression, but as a way to confront personal fears—and in doing so, she found a lifelong passion for the martial way.
An aggressive counter-striker known for methodical pressure and lightning speed, Katherine fights with the precision of a dancer and the heart of a gladiator. Her love for the art elevates every bout—reflected in her proud declaration: "35 fights, still pretty." She thrives on speed, timing, and an unmatched ability to read her opponents. Influenced by fighters like Erin Toughill and Roy Jones Jr., Katherine blends fierce femininity with unorthodox, joyful movement, always seeking to entertain, inspire, and leave a mark that resonates beyond the ring.
Outside of combat, Katherine’s life is as colorful and bold as her fight gear. A neo-pagan-inspired costume crafter, hula hoop fire dancer ,and underground music enthusiast, she thrives in creative chaos as much as in combat precision. With her wife of five years by her side and dreams of continuing her globe-trotting martial arts journey like Ryu from StreetFighter, she fights not just for victory but for legacy. Through BKB, she aims to claim her place in the lineage of warrior-women—an artist of movement and violence whose performances fans won’t just remember, but will study. As she puts it: “My art will speak for itself... and I have no doubt it will leave you wanting to hear more.”
