Mahrouz Saei, Iran's top female taekwondo fighter, is successfully promoting the sport among young women, despite the lack of state support.
Saei, 26, has fought in many championships around the world, and has won gold and silver medals at several Asian tournaments.
"Taekwondo gives a girl the opportunity to defend and attack, and I think that each of us should go in for such sports, even for a short period of time, to learn to protect themselves better," Mahrouz Saei explains.
