Would you find it attractive if a man/woman loved fighting?

Question

And no, I do NOT mean debating or intellectual fighting. I mean physical fighting. Martial arts, wrestling, duking it out, throwing hands. My ex-girlfriend was always harassed a lot in middle school, so she got into fights often, winning most of the time. She was willing to use violence to defend herself or others. I really loved that about her.

I made it clear in my previous questions that tomboyishness and masculine traits in women are my Kryptonite. And two of the most important masculine traits are physicality (muscles and athleticism) and being willing to fight. I consider the latter masculine, since guys are more likely to fight, let alone enjoy it.

Would you find it attractive if a man/woman loved fighting?

To be clear, I'm NOT saying I'd date a violent criminal or thug. I just care if the woman is willing to fight at all. If she actively enjoys it, that's just a small plus. Really, I just find it attractive because I see it as masculine and dominating.

And on a related note, one of my friends who plays Yu-Gi-Oh actually found his wife in high school. According to him, his wife was this total tomboy, and she does Chinese Kung Fu. He says that she can still be aggressive and boyish at times, and they do martial arts together. So I'm a bit jealous that he managed to find a wife that is--well, more like WAS--like my ideal woman. Masculine, fierce, strong-willed, athletic, and probably loves a good fight.

Imagine Chi-Chi from Dragon Ball, or Makoto from Street Fighter, but not nearly as overbearing. THAT is/was my friend's wife in a nutshell.

So what about you? Would you find it attractive if someone enjoyed fighting? Why or why not?

(And yes, @Berethor, I am aware that this question is basically about the Blood Knight trope.)

Yes, I love fighting, and I very much like women who are into it too. I'm talking about physical fighting and not verbal as you mentioned. Actually, I think verbal fighting is very uncivilized because it usually just makes problems worse. Physical fighting actually resolves them. People who agree with this mindset, including women, are already so much more favorable to me than these "civilized" types.

I like MMA fighters a lot, like Miesha Tates. They seem to be more right-wing and strong that way. They laugh at feminism, as I do, and that gives us so much more in common.

Also as a boy, I had a kickboxer instructor who was a woman. And she was quite strong and I sort of got a crush on her. This is her (Lisa "Scrappie" Smith) in an exhibition match against Kathy Long:

My wife is also a judo expert. I don't know if she loves fighting so much but she can fight. I tend to be more into the mind over body, but I think a real fighter has to have both... so you meet a girl who can fight, and isn't shy of it, and usually there's something there to her mind and not just her body.

Well as a man its our nature to be active as body, thats why men has more developed muscles and strenght compared to woman. I wish we had chanceto live like in old times when men were supposed to learn sword fighting and horse riding to protect their homeland and family but sadly we're not.

This isn't about that, dude. This is about whether you find it attractive if who you're attracted to loves fighting.

Yes. I like to fight girls. I don’t mean professionally. I mean for fun or sexually. For example for me in a fight with a girl I would like it to be long (a minimum 1 hour, lots of Low blows, rolling on the floor, hair pulling, I would like her to really hurt me down in my balls.

It's fine with me, so long as that isn't all she wants to do or lets that take over her personality.

Girls who can fight and hold their own when push comes to shove is cool.
