Mr Heel Hook Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 OK, I was just wondering because my Fiancee has started to come to Jiu Jitsu with me. Being an Atypical man I get worried for her because she is a women. I know that in part sounds a bit chauvinist, but I can't help it. When you spare in BJJ, it can get very VERY competitive. No one gets seriously hurt or anything like that, but sometimes people get a bit ruffed up and whatnot. I realize there are a ton of great Female Jiu Jitsu practitioners (in particular, Lika) but I just get a bit stupidly worried. Do you guys have a lot of women in your classes (of the grappling ilk) and are you as stupidly worrisome as me? "A deer admires a lion. But all the members of our family are lions.

jiu-jitsu fighter Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 theres one in my class used to be two LOL lets not get into that, and she very good prob in her late 20's , the guys obviously tone it down a little when sparring with her, but she can handle herself and she not a bohemoth, either, shes got a killer clock choke "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dober Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 We have 2. One is the instructors wife she's a 3 stripe blue belt, she's really good and helps everyone out. The other is some little mouse that is about 25-30 and doesn't really do much. White Belt - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle-san Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 In the Ketto Ryu Jujutsu class that I attend there are about 3-6 women depending on the day. Usually about a third to one half of the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonnyBoy Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 None is our dojo. It's a big dojo though, we probably have up to 30 guys on the mats, so it's probably not the envrionment that women are looking to start in. There are always two choices, two paths. One choice is easy and its only reward is it's easy.It takes sacrifice to be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heel Hook Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 As "odd" as it makes me feel, and I think it's just cause I am worried about my fiancee, I think it is wonderful for women to take.
