Summary:With the awakening of female consciousness, women's participation in sports has gradually gained autonomy and agency. However, Chinese women still face numerous restrictions in combat sports, hindering the development of this industry.

These issues need attention and consideration in the pursuit of gender equality in sports in the future.
