Besides my last post of last night it would be nice to know if anyone else here is a woman that appreciates Martial Arts?

I’m not a woman but I am a lesbian 
Hello, nice to meet you. I’m a real woman here. Nice to have some company.
Jas,JennyLiuJKD,and Wu Shu Chik seem to be floeating around as well
don’t listen to stacy though. he’ll try to tell you he’s a woman but he’s really got a pp
I still find it interesting as to how there are so few women in proportion to men in MA. And it seems that when girls show up in class, they never stay past yellow belt or so. I don’t really get it.
You think it’s bad in most martial arts, try ANY grappling art.
REALLY low % of women
yeah i know. we have grappling in my class… and its me and the boys.
Guessing…
That the lack of women in ma is more of a western thing.
I know in CMA there are quite a few female grandmasters.
Where all made out of the same thing on a physical level. There is no reason that a women cant excel in martial arts. I do however think its not a part of western culture and so its harder for western girls to be exposed to ma and to understand its also something they can learn.
It also doesnt help that in western society ma is often just seen as brute force on force hence how big you are determins how well you fight.
Skill is skill it doesnt matter who is on the other end of it. Male female, young or old, skinny or fat. Ive seen masters from all walks of life. Its the skill not the way the person looks or is built.
There is no such thing as a natural athlete in kung fu. It ALL aquired knowledge.
Same go’s for races dont be fooled into thinking just becouse someone is from the right ethnic background they know true martial arts.
I do not have a PP.
I’m glad that there are finally some woman on here. The pesuedo testosterone thing gets to you after a while.
Good for you halfling, I’ve also done lots of grappling, the guard took some time getting used to, but I slowly got into it and I’ve had a great time grappling. It was a little difficulte, thats not exactly the kind of sport I was raised to partake in. I suppose we all have to undo a little social condiitoning to do what we love. Don’t you think?
Hmmmmm, maybe guys can be fooled but don’t try to fool me. Your no woman. I don’t buy it for a second. Anyhow… actually the guard didn’t take any getting used to. I wasn’t uncomfortable at all. Maybe the person you learned it from had some problems teaching a girl properly but my instructor didn’t make me feel uncorfortable at all and everytime i got in the guard i didn’t even have enough time to think of anything immoral… i was busy working on drills and moves and escapes. in fact any of the grappling positions are fine with me… i rather enjoy grappling. its always one of my favorite parts of class. No offense by the way stacey… dont be jealous that you cant really be a girl. you serve as interesting controversy though.
we have been through this. you pretty much said you were a guy on another thread. actually there is a link to that thread in the “isn’t stacy a guy” thread linked above.
i say… until we have some proof… we assume pp for stacey. anyone trying that hard to sound like a woman or make it known they are a woman can’t be a woman.
Yeah, I wouldn’t admit to being a woman either
Just kidding.
Straight Blast: falsetto “Yes, I’m a woman”
The world: “Really? You’re pretty ugly for a woman!”
Straight Blast: resuming his sexy male voice “Ok I 'fess up. I’m not a woman. But I like them lots. Does that count?”
Women in MA kick a$$
"Yeah, I wouldn’t admit to being a woman either "
that was funny.
IF GEORGE IS MALE
HE THE TYPE TO CALL CHATLINES AND WHEN HE SLEEPS HE CHATS TO HIS LONSOME,HE BE ALL HEY BABE–yes darling i love you"Hugging his back and all.???
