“There’s a peace that comes over me when I fight,” Carmen Corchado said, calm and collected, searching to put into words the feeling inside the ring.

The Bushwick-native will appear in the ring at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater, competing for a championship belt among some of the highest ranked Muay Thai Kickboxing champions in the world.

Corchado grew up on Knickerbocker Avenue in a Puerto Rican family with older brothers. When they fought, she did too.
