Ti Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 In my Dojo we have 2 kinds.The really girly ones who can't punch or kick properly or the ones that go crazy insane and try to kill you with no control over their own movements.
Kajukenbopr Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I just fought a girl yesterday(at class), she put up a great fight. <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty
y2_sub Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Any one has ever heard about that French karate instructor who was sparring with his female student ( she was also a black belt ) and he kicked her in the head and accidentally killed her ?? someone told me that the kick wasn’t that powerful , however , it caused her to die Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike

Leopard claw Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Guys against guys, women again women, kids against adults, guys against women. It all goes and I think it's a big ego bui;der. No matter what the age or size. How many nuns could a nunchuk chuck if a nunchuk could chuck nuns?
Jen H Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 That is too bad about the injury. At our Dojo, we are equal, we all fight, any age and any sex against one another. Me, my dd and my ds all spar and we will spar anyone Sensei puts us with, male or female. I actually enjoy sparring with the men. In real life, I will more than likely NEVER have an attacker that is female and 30, plus close to my size and heighth. Unfortunately, getting hurt is part of karate.
kivikala Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 As to do women spar men in my dojo? yes. Everyone pulls their own weight so's to speak. Sparing is for us has never been an exersise in winning but a test and critique of skills. Women in my classes learn to take and give a hit as well as a man. It's a martial art, not feel-good factory.Disclaimer: students are matched according to skill or with senior instructors for education, it's never a "free for all" and there is zero tolerance for even the slightest "loss of control".
Jade Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Any one has ever heard about that French karate instructor who was sparring with his female student ( she was also a black belt ) and he kicked her in the head and accidentally killed her ?? someone told me that the kick wasn’t that powerful , however , it caused her to dieHe probably hit a mortal point...i dont think she died because she was a woman...

angus88 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 One significant difference in our school in regards to women sparring with men is that men can't hit women in the face. They can hit us in face and of course we can hit other men with face contact. That's been a fairly recent change. Also the guys don't kick or punch women as hard as they can. It's good that way though - as a guy, I think it teaches you a lot about control, much like fighting kids. You wouldn't blast some little kid across the floor, even though you could!Apart from that - everybody fights everybody at our school, except married couples.
