AngelaG Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 You should not minimize in your mind the threat that a woman might represent, particularly if she is armed. To those who think they can parry a knife attack all day, try the following simple exercise:-Get a training partner to hold a whiteboard marker (water soluable) as they would a knife.- have training partner who you are not familiar with (that is key) to make all knifey-like with the pen.- count the number of marks on yourself afterwardsIt's important to use a training partner you're not familiar with as you do get used to the tells of a regular sparring partner. After a while they (and you) start performing predictably. I was lucky enough to get to try out some escrima a few times and that was an eye opening exercise. A little girl "sliced" me up good. You're probably "bleeding" after this exercise. You have major arteries in your arms (inside) and your legs. All she's got to do is slice one of them and you are dead very quickly. Heck, even nasty slashes on the forearms can make your hands useless if they get the right tendons, and I make my living with my hands.The problems with exercises like this is that they still have a large amount of limitations when compared to a real attack. You are still not capable of responding how you would like to respond in a real situation, for fear of harming your training partner.

SenseiMike Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I'd brake a knee cap, male or femal. You can become a great fighter without ever becoming a martial artist, but no sir, you can not become a great martial artist with out becoming a great fighter. To fight is most certainly not the aim of any true martial art, but they are fighting arts all the same. As martial artists, we must stand ready to fight, even if hoping that such conflict never comes.-My response to a fellow instructor, in a friendly debate

AngelaG Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 That's nice, i'll visit you in prison.Prison? That's dependent on the situation. Not all women are 4'0'' weaker sex. There are some women out there that would have no difficulty in stamping on a man and later scraping him off their shoe. And a weapon is an extremely successful equaliser.Anyway, maybe a spell in prison is infinitely preferable to an eternity 6' underground.

White Warlock Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Anyway, maybe a spell in prison is infinitely preferable to an eternity 6' underground.My point was, the 'severity' of the assault has not been presented, therefore the severity of response should not default to extremes.

b3n Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 So White Warlock, if a female was attacking you with a baseball bat, would you break her kneecap? My Nidan Grading!
