Did my boyfriend's male friend (martial artist) went softer on me?

[Anonymous]

We're all into martial arts. Though my boyfriend's friend doesn't practice the same martial arts we do but it's similar.

He came to our class for a visit. We were doing several throwing techniques. I felt him softer. It's like he wasn't trying to throw me too hard. Meanwhile it was different when he did it on my boyfriend. He was going harder with more intensity on him. Not too much on me. My boyfriend noticed this too.

Women are generally lighter than men, that man was clearly strong enough to throw you and your boyfriend - seems like he was trying not to actually injure you

Yes I noticed that too. Guys tend to be uncomfortable with girls in sport generally, and I guess it applies even more to martial arts

This is common.

Sounds like it.
