Ben Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Ummm...if it's the only reason, how can there be other related topics?! I'm not trying to trip you up, or poke fun at your writing. I just not clear what you are saying here. yeah, i wasnt clear there and my language wasnt too good. i meant women being scared of men hurting them, and not being able to sucseed against men. there a a fair amount of women who think this that would prefer to go to a female only dojang. It is also unfounded, unless you believe brute force in itself makes you a good martial artist. that is actually my point... they dont believe or cant focus beyond a certain point to realise they are just as good as men. this comes to a lack of beliefe or focus. because they think they are not good enough, does that mean they should not be allowed a dojang for just women? I know you said nothing about women only classes, that was a counter-comment to what you said about male dojangs.I've noticed many people on these boards saying similar things. Personally, I think it's a pity to exclude someone who might be compatible because it might interfere with your training. Seems a bit ascetic to me! But obviously that's your right. It seems extreme to want a men-only class on this basis, though i'd prefer to not run the risk of anything going wrong is all. i believe if something is meant to happen - if i'm meant to be in a relationship with someone in my dojang, then so be it. but if i can help it, i'll steer clear. gaaaah... sorry if i've ruffled feathers. very hard week what with personal issues and all. if it seems like i've taken it out on you here, i didnt mean to. just... a funny time i'm going through atm. and additional reasons for a male only dojang: |men with no confidence with women (in the being near them sense) |men not wanting to hurt women |religion |and also, variations of what this thread is about IE people not agreeing
