Exactly, that’s why training in a realistic way like MMA, boxing, wrestling where you go full out with the same techniques you use for a real fight gives an advantage, it’s been true throughout history, Roman legionaries we’re successful cause they trained hard using the same techniques as they did in battle because in a real fight, adrenaline messes your thought process and training is what kicks in
This statement is incorrect. Allow me to fix it for you.
I think your friend is a foolish man. Gender is irrelevant.
Which part of she start swinging at you that you don't understand? Circumstances is she is SWINGING at you.
Is your world really that simplistic? Not all swings are the same. Some pose a major threat. Some do not. In some cases I would strike. In some I would grapple. In some I would walk away. In some I would draw my weapon and fire. This is by no means a complete list of my options.
The original question is simplistic also, you just take it as face value. If a woman swing at you, what would you do. The way you look at it, everything has too many options. What is the point of covering everything?
Part of the problem is that men are socialised in a certain way, we have to treat women in a certain way and part of this is that it is taboo to hit a woman, generally this is a good thing but it all to often results in men being shocked into inaction and confused when attacked by a woman, this is because women traditionally also believed and behaved as people who would not use violence, problem is that times have changed and many not all women have a different attitude, because it’s only a minority of women who do this it’s still always a surprise when it happens
There is a difference between not think, verse allowing your body to respond, with a conscious awareness that you can stop what you are doing at any moment.
hmmm. The question is. Why wouldn't I hit someone who was attacking me? I'm a mobile 200lbs. I figure that if anyone attacks me, then it's because they think they can win or harm me. If they think that, then I better take that person as a serious danger and risk to my safety
I should have read this first before I posted. Then I could have just made a short post, stating that it's not who is attacking but the danger that person presents.
ha ha ha.. someone woke up the tiger
No! I'll play defense and I won't hit back.
ha ha ha.. you just haven't met the right woman. There are some women who will break your defenses and make you take a nap.
That just mean my defense skill is not good enough. I'll need more defense skill training.
yep. No one asks if an attacking tiger is male or female. A threat is a treat.
Certainly every TV show that has been produced in the last 5 years would lead you to believe this is true.
Nope, it has nothing to do with TV shows. A threat is a treat. If a female attacker was wearing all black with a black mask and sucker punched you, then your first thought is going to be "Is my attacker male, female, or transgender." because that's always the first thing that goes through your mind when you get attacked.Certainly every TV show that has been produced in the last 5 years would lead you to believe this is true.
First of all I'm not ticklish.
And if she is wearing a mask, it's probably Halloween and I will be handing out candy, not getting punched by her. But if somehow I'm in another riot or something and a woman conceals her identity, and I'm not sure if it's a female, then I guess that is on her and not me. But for most situations, shame on me for letting a masked person get close enough to strike me in the first place.
If Gabi Garcia ever comes after me, I’m just going to be trying to survive by whatever means necessary. She’s bigger than I am, stronger than I am, and is also a BJJ black belt.
Brother it’s not only women’s attitudes that have changed, my kids judo coach is a woman my daughter can beat any boy in her tkd class who’s same age as her, their are hundreds of thousands of women in all types of martial arts classes all over the world learning how to kick ***, the games changed. Change with it or get a nasty surprise.
Unmasked people get close to you all the time. They just choose not to attack you which is good considering that there's nothing to stop them from attacking you other than their personality and moral values.
