17-year-old Zamzam Al Hammadi is becoming more than just a rising star in the world of mixed martial arts, but is becoming a symbol of female empowerment across Abu Dhabi and across the region. Al Hammadi’s journey from young girls in training in Jiu Jitsu to international champions has a new signature with PFL Mena.

Zamzam al Hammadi proves that “all doors are open” for women in combat sports

The path of Zamzam al-Hamadi is deeply rooted in the family martial arts legacy. Her mother, Nada al Nuaymi, is a judo and jiu-jitsu practitioner, and her younger sister Ghala is also an decorated grappler and MMA fighter. “My mother is my role model, so I always want to be like her,” Zamzam shared, speaking to Tim Wheaton of Lowkibear in an interview, highlighting the powerful influence of women’s mentorship within her own home.

Her achievements speak for itself: gold medals at the 2023 Immaf Youth World Championships and JJIF World Youth Championships, and an undefeated 2-0 Amateur MMA record. But for Zamzam al-Hamadi, victory is more than a personal glory. “I am delighted to represent my country on a global stage like PFL and Inshallah. God will help me achieve all my dreams,” she said after signing the PFL. “What I can do to make them happy is to get some money for them and some titles for them.”

The surge in women’s participation in sports, especially in traditionally male-dominated fields such as martial arts, is reshaping social perceptions and inspires the next generation. The visibility of athletes like Zamzam Al Hammadi helps normalize women’s participation in combat sports and encourage others to follow suit.

Al Hamadi’s advice for young girls is simple but powerful. “Never give up. Follow your dreams. There’s nothing to stop you unless you’re yourself. If you want to do it, you’re going to do it.” She acknowledges that stepping into the gym for the first time, especially for women, can be intimidating, but urges them to take the first step.

“If you want to train now, it’s better than before. Now there’s a gym offering women-only classes. Start from there and when you’re ready, go to advanced classes.
