Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has been among the leading scorers in European football for several years, but not only the Pole has good sports genes in the family.
The star attracts attention
His wife, Anna Lewandowska, has also delivered in the sports arena. She is a strong karate fighter, and in this regard she recently received a huge offer that would take her on new paths.
Mixed martial arts organization KSW attempted to bring Lewandowska into “their world”.
In this case, the 34-year-old had to be retrained from karate to mixed martial arts, which doesn’t happen overnight. In the last exercise, one must master all martial arts.

On her podcast, Lewandowska confirms that she had coffee with Martin Lewandowski, owner of KSW.
During her career, she won 38 medals, including bronze in the karate tournament.
He asked if I wanted to try something new. He calculated that it would take two years of training before I was ready to go to the games. I told him I would discuss it with my husband, says Lewandowska, according to the Spanish newspaper like.
But before Lewandowska got a chance to hear from Lewandowski about what he thought of the offer, the Barcelona striker had heard about the potential change in his career through the media.

Put your foot down
– Anna, what do I hear? What do you read about these guesses mean? asked Lewandowski, who must have been a little annoyed.
– I replied that if it were not for the fact that I was his wife, I would give a career in mixed martial arts a chance, Levandowska explains.
It is not clear why Lewandowski does not want his wife to try mixed martial arts, but it is not unreasonable that the former Bayern Munich star would prefer to avoid seeing his wife in fierce fights against women who have much more MMA experience than her.
