Thursday 23rd December 2004 at 10:22 I think a major problem with training with girls is that guys are often taught NOT to hit girls etc. Mind you, when I was doing Backhold wrestling in Scotland, I had the duel problem of having to wrestle kids who were younger and smaller than me, as well as some of them being female. My coach put me against one girl and she almost threw me within ten seconds. He laughed, "Better know what you're doing, cos she does!" One time he pitted a Ju-Jitsu Black Belt against her... she wiped the floor with him and he went off in a sulk, never to return. My view? If they are on the mat then they are there to take it! Besides, it isn't fair on a female training partner if you don't go in hard (so to speak). It robs her of the experience. See how well I block all your |

Wednesday 29th December 2004 at 09:12 Please note that in my earlier post it should say "dual" problem (as in double), not 'duel' as in fight (hate to think I was picking fights with kids... although some deserved it!) See how well I block all your |

Thursday 17th March 2005 at 00:13 Just be aware of rank. A female JJ blackbelt has been thrown around for 8 years, she can take it (as well as dish it out) Her experience also says that she has been accidentally grabbed inappropriately many times and thinks nothing of it in a match. Blue Belt - Gracie JJ |

Thursday 17th March 2005 at 01:04 Good point Ninja, but 8 years sounds a bit over the top - I could've had my Black Belt in under 3 years - it all depends on where ya train. The Admin Guy |

Friday 18th March 2005 at 18:14 just remember a female ninja has been training for over 1000 yrs and enjoys being grabbed in the most inappropriate areas on a regular basis. She will use this as a cunning ploy to distract her opponents. "no weapon formed against me shall prosper" |

Sunday 27th March 2005 at 13:52 Main problem about training with girls is that their big boyfriend /brother/father is usaully sitting at the side of the mat in case you hurt them! See how well I block all your |

Wednesday 30th March 2005 at 20:52 Of course, the hardest thing is trying to pretend you didn't let them get the dominant position and that you are really struggling to escape (unsuccessfully of course) AND that you aint enjoying it.:-)) See how well I block all your |

Saturday 12th April 2008 at 17:30 I think a lot of guys have an ego problem about getting tapped by a lady if they do they will say a well i let you get that.In judo i train with some great fighters and yes they are female and can dish out as well as take it. the darkside is more fun |

Saturday 12th April 2008 at 23:03 I was tapped in seconds by a girl, and see no difference, she was far superior in technique, I don't think I treated (grammer?) her any different to grappling with a guy (perhaps I did, but that was my mistake), so good on her I say, as I would with anyone who taps me!

Monday 14th April 2008 at 13:31 I know it makes me sound like an evil person but I've never had any big problems training with girls and I've never held back unless they've just started. The most likely people to attack girls on the strets are blokes so as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't hold back. I'm sure every girl in MA knows they're going to be training with people who might have a physhical advantage and should be prepared for it. know your limits |
