Even though I am not a martial artist, I would like to express interest in things like m vs f and f vs f bouts in realistic situations. Unfortunately, i have some problems understanding human nature, and thus I think I express some extreme views over the subject, but then, some people have told me that I am rational. I will leave it at that.

Male vs. Female, and female vs. female? Well I would run from Lucia Rijker for whatever it's worth. I also know a female brazillian jiu jitsu brown belt that can kick my * on the ground.

Hi,

I do understand many men, especially veteran martial artists, have some interest in the development of women in the martial arts. As for competitors like LR, one wonders what could happen if it was rutine or considered "acceptable" for mainstream martial arts competitors and kickboxers to face off men vs women in major venues to increase the options of fights for individuals who have concerns the "solid wall" creates inpediments for interested people and competitors.

However, I do have some personal views which I will explain if someone is interested. I just wonder how people would feel about me here. I am more into TKD, karate, and upright styles rather than being a jiu jitsu fan.

Thank you,

Martin

So,what are some of these views that your talking about?

[mtheiss]

Sin,

I have a broader view of the world than you would expect from a non-complicit American such as myself. I see the martial arts as more than simply the soft school training and semi-serious contact "sparring" matches one finds out about if they are involved enough with gyms to be invited to one. I am also a law abiding individual. Still, I am not too "comfortable" with the nature of what I would say if I would come out explaining my views about what I would assume to be a "proper" match condition, pointing out the nature of anthropology deems it not proper for an outside individual to judge what is right and what is wrong to do in a culture without first being completely aware and judgemental about what are the general views of people inside the given community.
