A woman is fighting fit and competing as a MMA fighter despite having a stoma

A tough woman has battled back to fitness and is in training to become a top MMA fighter - despite wearing a stoma bag. Kharina Kharran trains in martial arts six times per week and has even entered cage fighting competitions, despite having a colostomy bag permanently attached to her stomach. The 41-year-old became fascinated with martial arts at the tender age of nine after being inspired by Bruce Lee movies, but has struggled ever since with Crohn's disease. Kharina, from Brighton in East Sussex, started training lightly aged 16, and has picked up a variety of martial arts - despite going through 38 bowel surgeries.
