Greetings all! I am a female instructor in Karatedo and Kobudo. I have run my own dojo for the past 25 years. I seem to be one of these older (no I'm not going there) ladies you have been talking about. I started training when it was rare to see a woman in a dojo. In fact I was the only one for a llllloooonnnngggg time. I trained the same as the guys. Went into tournaments with the guys. And learned the weapons with the guys too. Sorry but gender doesn't matter in this "sport" !!! Although ladies do better kata than guys. (It's a hip thing!) Ciao
