Ronda Rouse was born in Riverside, California on February 1st, 1987. She has a big family that consists of her two older siblings and her mother. She also has roots in Judo since her mother, Ann Maria De Mars was the first woman from the US to win a World Judo Champion. Her mother obviously had a lot of influence on Ronda, since she decided to make that her profession, although a bit further away from just Judo. As far as her education goes, Ronda didn’t manage to go that far because when she was younger she had trouble speaking clearly and fluently, so she dropped out of high school in order to pursue her Judo career.
