Jess Roper (officially Jessica Fleischer) is a 2x English kickboxing champion, a 2nd degree blackbelt, and the founder of ‘I am Fighting Fit’.
Jess grew up with both parents addicted to drugs and alcohol, she lost her first 5 fights before getting a win, and, after becoming a champion in the ring, struggled with establishing a business through a global pandemic! She follows the advice that she shares in schools across the country though, of ‘Dream big, start small, and never give up’.
Inspired by her mum, who began kickboxing at the age of 52 and was incapable of kicking above the knee, Jess has created an online community called ‘Fighting Fit Together’, with the mission ‘to make martial arts, and specifically kickboxing, accessible for all’ and focuses on fitness and FUN!
Passionate about personal development, health, wellbeing, and increasing confidence, Jess has a lot more to offer in the future… but first she has her sights set on competing in The World Kickboxing Championships in the summer of 2022, so this is her focus, for now!
