    Dominique Bosshart competes in the Heavyweight category. She is a very aggressive and relatively fast fighter who likes the excitement of competing. According to her she is more successful attacking rather than counter-attacking.
    Dominique Bosshart is a nationally carded Sr-1 Athlete. Her next challenge will be the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, on August 13-29, 2004. Dominique Bosshart, already  classified for the 2004 Olympic Games and it will be her second time she will represent Canada at the Olympic Games.
