Overview

• Marie Mouroum built her profile on RTL’s “Let’s Dance” and has served as a stunt double for actresses such as Halle Berry, Queen Latifah and Lashana Lynch.
• Her film work has come at a physical cost, with a past broken ankle and a current ACL tear underscoring the risks of her profession.
• On June 28 she will report backstage for RTL+ at Oktagon73 in Hamburg, offering viewers an insider’s look ahead of Germany’s top MMA fighter returning after eight months out.
• Mouroum advocates for martial arts to become part of Germany’s school curriculum, arguing that self-defense training boosts confidence and discipline, especially among girls.
• Mixed martial arts events in Germany are drawing sellout crowds despite lingering prejudice, and Mouroum notes that U.S. audiences have embraced the sport more widely across all demographics.
