Kyokushin Karate and Women/Girls

[TAEKYO]

Hi! I would like some opinions on how dangerous is Kyokushin Karate for girls

[Karate_John]

It's no more or less dangerous then any other Karate or contact sport. What are your concerns?

I'm curious as to why you'd think that Kyokushin is more dangerous than other forms of martial arts, and specifically for girls? We have girls on our fight team for Muay Thai in our gym as well as our karate sparring team and MMA team which is all hard contact. We don't separate by gender either as there's no reason that a (for example) 130lb female can't fight a 130lb male.

First off welcome to the Forum, don't forget to head over to the Introductions area to introduce yourself. I'm glad you're here.

Kyokushin is no more dangerous to girls than any other martial art is. Yes it is a full contact martial art that is considered brutal by many, but physiologically does have a lot of benefits and delays the risks of Osteoporosis or Osteoarthritis as it causes microfractures and then heals causing the bones to heal.

Martial Arts do not discriminate between genders, as such all genders can participate in all Martial Arts and Styles. I have many females friends that are beautiful people (not just on the outside, but on the inside which is more important in my eyes), but you would not want to mess with them.
