Hi halfling:) as you can see there are a few girls here but some of us probably aren’t as vocal as the guys tend to be with all their arguing over whether kung fu sux or sanshou sux or brazilian jiujitsu sux:rolleyes: i hardly ever post anymore because i don’t have a lot of time to even surf the net these days. but you’re not alone in this sea of testosterone, hehe.
I do like to get in touch with my inner female though.
i like to touch the insides of females too.
I’m still here. My handle changed back to my original one, I can’t get the one that’s just Robin without the f.
It’s good to see the female population on this board growing a bit.
How about in your kung fu classes? I tend to be the only woman there. We have a couple of others signed up, but they hardly come in anymore. Do you all have that problem?
Robin
Well, I’m married, so that makes me half a woman, and at the same time, all man baby.
Anyway, two quotes from impressive women come to mind here.
First, from the Iron B!tch herself, Margaret Thatcher:
Being a lady is like being in power. If you have to tell someone you are, you aren’t.
I thought George might appreciate that one.
And from my wife, an explanation as to why women don’t need the martial arts:
“Women are shemers.”
JWT
what’s a shemer?
i’m a lesbian in a man’s body!!
I wouldn’t claim to be a lesbian in a man’s body.
Without bragging, though, I can honestly say that on a large number of occassions I have been a man in a lesbian’s body. No, I’m not a rapist, and yes they seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.
Where I train it is about a third women in total, but they tend to train less often. I have a feeling some of them get a lot more out of an hour than some of the guys do out of a week.
I forgot to mention that our most senior member under our head sensei is a 60 (approx) year old woman. Her aikido is beyond physical…sometimes she can play with your head so much she can topple you with one finger.
Woman here. Nice to see there are others participating.

mmmmmmmmm betty!
“sometimes she can play with your head so much
she can topple you with one finger.”
You let a 60 year old women play with your head?
Are you from Alabama?
:eek: :o
schemer.

Hello again, in my kung fu classes i was the only girl for a very long time. When i started there were a few girls, they are all gone now. I’m away from the town where my classes are held, so since ive been gone i hear that there are two girls coming now… i will be interested to see if they really get involved i hope so. it could be fun. I never minded being the only girl though. All the guys have been great and i never feel like they dumb stuff down for me or ease it up. i still come away with bruises and sore muscles and sore joints. I LOVE IT!!! but its good to hear more women on here… i only have time to type on here now because my classes are over and im just here working this week before im gone for christmas to COLORADO!!!. --so excited
Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult.
BTW, only women show up for my Saturday morning class. I had one, maybe two conditioning days that MIGHT, might have gone a little over the top almost everyone quit.
Sissies.
But 4 women came back and stayed. I get a guy in here and there on Saturday, but the regulars are all women.
Then again, I am a d@mn good looking man.

we used to do tons of conditioning… i really liked that part of class… if we just had a conditioning class regularly i would be there all the time. i like all aspects of class actually. jwt where do you train here in austin?
Brain Duffy’s Kenpo Karate
William Cannon and South Lamar.
I teach Saturday mornings. The adult class is 11:00am to 12:30pm. Sparring from 12:30pm to 1pm+ whenever.
I get there around 9 to 9:30, since the kids class starts then. I have’nt have a kid show up since last May, so I just train myself and sometimes some other people show up at that time.
You are welcome to come by and watch or try out a class anytime.
