Her influence is felt in the competitive female submission wrestling industry as well when the resourceful Russian Karina Gotika meets the formidable Czech Princess Diana in battle at Fight Pulse.

The Czech Republic has greatly felt the Russian influence as well.

In a fascinating read, writer Ryan Scott speaks to her influence in the Czech Republic at the informative site expats.cz. He enlightens, “The Russian community in Prague is in some ways subject to over-generalization. For a start, there is a tendency to group all people from the former Soviet Union as Russians – something which upsets both Russians and other nationalities. Speaking Russian doesn’t necessarily mean that a person is Russian. They could be Tajikistani, Kazakhstani or Moldavian.

Even if a person identifies as a Russian national, it is a simplification to think that they are one uniform group of people. Instead, they are cut across by many interests, ambitions, dreams, and concerns.

The community which has settled here in the last two decades demonstrates this diversity. Broadly speaking, Russian people have come to the Czech Republic for two reasons – they have been forced from their homeland because of the political situation, or they have come of their own volition to pursue business, find a job, travel, or study.”

In our dinner and a female grappling movie series we gently grab our napkin and peer into the windows of a fine Russian restaurant in Prague.

Thanks Fight Pulse. Let’s meet Karina. Fight Pulse is our host.

“Karina Gotika, session wrestler from Moscow, took the world of female wrestling by storm in the last couple of years. And two days ago we had the pleasure to work with her. We’ve heard the rumors about her toughness, but finally had an opportunity to see the Russian force up close. Karina visited Fight Pulse on 18th of October and left a remarkable impression on everyone involved. She is fierce on the mats and her wrestling talent is indisputable. Just as impressive, if not more, are her professionalism, enthusiasm and devotion to her job. We highly recommend our fellow producers to invite Karina to their shoots / events.”
