She has lived with fellow British taekwondo fighter, and double Olympic champion, Jade Jones, in Manchester, since 2010.

The trio train almost every day at GB Taekwondo's National Taekwondo Centre.

In 2017 she became the first practitioner ever to win all 4 Grand Prix events in her division in a single season (having also won the one-off Grand Prix Final in London of the truncated 2016 season).

2019

In May 2019, at the 2019 World Taekwondo Championships, Walkden won the women's heavyweight title after Zheng Shuyin was disqualified after attaining a 20–10 lead.

Faced with Zheng's subsequent inactivity, Walkden adopted the tactic of repeatedly forcing her opponent out of the ring to raise her penalty points from seven to ten, an automatic disqualification.

This resulted in boos during the result announcement and medal presentation, when Zheng fell to her knees.

Great Britain performance director Gary Hall took issue with her "disrespectful manner" at the presentation.

Walkden defended her tactics, saying: "I went out there needing to find a different way to win and a win is a win if you disqualify someone - it's not my fault."

In September 2019, at Chiba, four months after winning the controversial gold medal in Manchester, Walkden was defeated 7-5 by Zheng Shuyin.

In October 2019 at Sofia, Zheng Shuyin again defeated Walkden by 3–2.

In 2021, she won the gold medal in the women's +73 kg event at the 2021 European Taekwondo Championships held in Sofia, Bulgaria.
