karatekid1975 Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 For me, yes I'd strike back ..... then again, I am a woman. But for me, no matter what gender the attacker is, I would match force with force. If it's some loud mouth "cat fighting" chic, I'd just restrain her, and hold her there still she gets tired of trying to get out of the hold. Then I'd sit her down LOL. If it's a woman with a weapon, I would definitely fight for my life, and/or run. Laurie F
niel0092 Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 same response as to a guy: Avoid if you can Block if you need Restrain if you must Beat down if you have no other choice LOL seriously, alot of women are tough as nails. dont do them any discredit or you'll end up with missing teeth.

Treebranch Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I would match force to get this "Person" to stop their attack. I don't care if they are children, women, old men, etc, they shouldn't be attacking anyone.

Fenris-wolf Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 I liked Martial_Artist's post very much. I will point out that as a female I'm looking at it from a different perspective, obviously. I must take exception to the comment somebody made about letting her hit you... If I was going to hit somebody out of the blue (and they'd have to deserve it), I would want to smash them to the ground. I know I am capable, and I wouldn't underestimate somebody by gender if I was you. Not getting sh*tty, just something I felt I had to say.

Valithor Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 but if a woman attacks you, then clearly she does not deserve such a nicety and you should treat her like any other attacker. ditto Keep Smiling!
Gino Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 I liked Martial Artists post. Do not hesitate ever in a self defense situation.It could cost you a serious injury or worse.React fast.Not without thought.But fast.Male or female. Never give in
GrrrArg Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 I sued to be of the attitude that a man should never ever hit a woman and as Martial Artist says, chivalry is a good character aspect. Then I started sparring a girl called Vicky in lessons she told me that I was stupid if I didn't hit back if I was actually attacked, she made a good point. Ignoring gender you would always respond to being attacked - whats the difference defending against a 5'9 women as opposed to defending against a 5'9 man of the same weight/build? The difference is in your mind. So whilst chivalry dictates that I should hold a door open for women it doesn't mean that I should accept said women then proceeding to knee where it hurts etc:
