Paloma Fabrykant (born December 7, 1981) is an Argentine mixed martial artist and journalist, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. [3]
Fabrykant is from Buenos Aires she is the daughter of famous Argentine author Ana María Shua and Photographer Silvio Fabrykant. [2] Whilst attending Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires Paloma Fabrykant began martial arts training at 13 practising judo and aikido, she began her career as a professional writer, publishing her first two books before her teens (Things I hate, Ed. Abundant spring, 1998 and as mother of a teenage daughter, written by a teenage daughter, Ed. Planeta, 2001). [4]
Her early talent for writing soon came to journalism, and while she was studying at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Buenos Aires, chronic wrote for the supplement of Clarin. At twenty years old she had her own regular column in Live, Sunday magazine of the same newspaper, and discovered the Karate, art was her greatest love ever since. [2] But she failed to unite these two passions: journalism and martial arts. It was then that she met the kickboxer Jorge Acero Cali and started working as his press chief. As her client was gaining fame Fabrykant wrote for various media publications such as (Clarin, Pagina 12, Télam), a new form of struggle was growing at a rapid pace, threatening the reign of Kickboxing between combat sports. It was the mixed martial arts sport Fabrykant sponsored from the outset, advocating clean your -negative image in a principle-both in writing and on television (surcharge Radar, Live Journal, Telefe Noticias, Canal 26). [5] [6]
In an interview with Red Marcial stated..
in early 2000 I started doing Taebo and at the same gym doing kickboxing. Then I tried karate, martial art was the thing I needed, and I was fascinated. Because I realized that you can learn beyond linguistic experience. In karate you learn through bodily sensations, postures, through fatigue itself and overcoming fears. It was the antithesis of education she had. In fact, I left college, I felt that life was passing me and I was instructing from the academic intellectual life, which is already dominated. My parents cared so much I went to college, they are from another generation. But they accepted it, they are very liberal.

The "Vale Todo" program segment Chronicles Extreme, America 2 channel, devised, produced and starred Paloma was the first time the MMA appeared on broadcast TV in Argentina. The rating accompanied the news and came away. While she was in Thailand started training Muay Thai, The Department of Productions in Spanish UFC was alerted about her work, and when she returned to Buenos Aires, Paloma found a surprise: an invitation to Las Vegas to attend a UFC event and talk about possible collaborations.

At the same time she started working as a manager for, leading Argentine athletes, Uruguayans, Paraguayans, Peruvians and Costa Rica to compete in international events. Also in that year the practice of Jujitsu, studying art since at Gracie school found indispensable.
