My sensei is a man and he is a 10th degree black belt in kaate, 10th degree black belt in jujitsu, and 6th degree black belt in judo, his daughter teaches and she is 6th degree in karate/jujitsu and 2nd in judo I believe, don't quote me on that. Anyways, my point? Nothing really, but I know she kicks some serious butt in jujitsu, and she is tough, and she instructs. So there's one more female instructor to add to the list.
