She pairs her top with a pair of black mini shorts, which are the perfect choice for this particular ensemble. And who could ignore her signature voluminous hair in these snaps?

As an ambassador for Alo Yoga, which she reps in these snaps, casual clothes are the norm for this 22-year-old mixed martial artist.

As part of her intense training, Vallandingham works relentlessly alongside her trainer to push her body to the limits. She’s certainly shown her trainer she has what it takes as he labels her a “beast” for being able to perform 720 kicks flawlessly.

Knowing that she’s a 13-time Tae Kwon Do World Champion and possesses a fourth-degree black belt only speaks to how talented Vallandingham truly is. All the more reason why fans loved to see her take her unique skills to Netflix’s Cobra Kai.

In the martial arts series, the California native stars as Zara Malik, an antagonist who serves as the co-captain of the Iron Dragons. It wasn’t difficult for Vallandingham to step into the shoes of the character, though the experience wasn’t all easy. “You’re doing it over and over and over again, different camera angles, different lenses, different intensity,” she told SELF Magazine. “It’s really so much fun, but definitely very intense.”

Fortunately, the similarities she shares with Malik grounded her back to herself when training became more and more intense. “That competitive mindset really took over again, and I got back to who Rayna really is at the core,” she added. “I was really immersed in this world, and I truly became this character. I feel like we all kind of felt like we were truly in this world. It was definitely a cool energy in the air.”

Whether Vallandingham is chilling in athleisure or refining her kicks, martial arts is at the forefront of her mind. Stay tuned for her full SI Swimsuit gallery and feature, in time for the May magazine.
