Offensive? I'd be interested to hear others' views on that one. One of us needs to get out more.

You make a lot of sense, but no real help I'm afraid. We've not had a babysitter in years, and it's hard enough to justify going training instead of staying in, but it's impossible to justify training in a mixed class. (I trained in a mixed class for the last month, and my request not to grapple with a female partner earnt me a bloody lip as a punishment. I guess I need an understanding sensei) Thanks again for the replies, if anyone remembers any ancient oriental art which is unspeakably sexist (without being frighteningly macho) please let me know. Alternatively a men only training night would be good too. Thanks again

Am I the only married man to be under pressure to find a 'men only' martial art? I can see the logic of course, spending time grappling with members of the opposite sex isn't something which should be done when you're 34 and married with kids. But which martial art is sexist enough to say 'men only training nights'? Any ideas? So far all I've found are 'extreme fitness' kickboxing ('kickrobatics?') which just scare off most people ( me included). Any ideas? Anyone?
