Girls, How do I challenge a girl to a kickboxing match without seeming scary?

[Anonymous]

I’m 6’4 and close to 200 pounds and I’ve recently took up kickboxing. In my experience, men love to hit hard and don’t focus too much on technique. Women on the other hand are a much tougher match and I often have to focus much harder on blocking and outmatching them tactfully. How do I challenge a woman without coming off as threatening?

By not being scary. There are gentle giants out there, they may be big and strong but they're kind hearted people. If you're not scary, you're not scary.

I would just ask and say what you just said, explaining why you want to.
