Steven Seagal’s daughter, Ayako Fujitani, is not a professional wrestler. However, she does have an extensive background in martial arts and has studied a variety of disciplines since the age of five.
Ayako began her martial arts training at the early age of five under the direction of her father, action movie star Steven Seagal. She trained with him for several years before branching out to explore other styles and disciplines including judo, karate and jujitsu. By the time she was 12-years-old she had earned black belts in both judo and karate. Her father also taught her some Aikido techniques as well as some basic self-defense moves which have proved useful throughout her life.
While Ayako never became a professional wrestler, she did become involved in mixed martial arts (MMA) during college when she competed at amateur level events around Japan. While competing in these fights it quickly became clear that while Ayako possessed excellent technique, she lacked strength and size compared to many of her opponents who were much larger than herself; this ultimately lead to her retiring from MMA competition after only two bouts as an amateur fighter.
