    I think it's more important for women to learn self defense for protection, any trained fighter knows on the streets that you're suppose to diffuse any situation and not just straight up kicking ass.

      Usually around $100 a year, most places let you come train every day all day long for that, so the more time you spend, the less money you spend per day.

      And you can become competent in 3 months, you'll be downright proficient by your first year.

      I didn't say anything about competition, I said she'd be competent. Like, in class. Competent at sparring and drilling and rolling and stuff, I didn't say she'd be the next frickin' Karate Kid, Yo.

      I just assumed that she wasn't asking how long until she could tap Buchecha. I thought she was asking, "how long until I can throw two kicks in a row without losing my balance?" more or less.

      If you go up one rank a year to me that's about right but most probably belt about 6-8months

    I'm not saying that some women who are like men but born in a female body can't beat a regular punk male, but when it comes to a real man, no matter how much MMA you learn, don't ever try it unless you wanna fall unconscious or with broken bones.

    Females please train primarily in BJJ. Kickboxing because most females are flexible. In street fights 7 out if 10 fights end up on the ground please learn bjj first before any striking styles. If u take any of these options please make sure they spar and actually make ur opponent fight back to see which move works

    MMA for 1 to 1 combat defence.
    and karate, kung fu etc for group attack defence.
    So that she can protect herself from molesters, dominators etc.

      @Wammu Well, Krav Maga does not have competitive fights because you target zones like the groin the throat or the eyes, which is potentially deadly or at least very dangerous (that's why Krav Maga is not a martial art). However, there is still some sparring with the basic moves you learn (simple punches and kicks, hammers...). MMA is probably a bit better for general "bare hand" fighting but Krav Maga is for self defense, disposing quickly of an attacker (or even multiple), sometimes armed, not for having a nice fight.

      You don't need competitive, and Krav Maga is great, but you have to have full contact sparring with gear. Why?
      There is a difference between training and being in a situation when the OTHER guy wants to stomp your face.
      That shit IS scary AF!!!
      Most people freeze when that happens.
      At least a spar can prepare you (though not enough) for that situation.

      I learned that shit the hard way.

      @GreatnessBack Yes, I definitely agree. Once in a self-defense course (not Krav Maga), we did some sparring with protective gear and the guy I was facing did not have much experience. He was kind of scared and did not dare to strike me unless I stroke first. He was always backing up, tense and a bit shaking. It sure helps a lot.

      It only takes one kick to knock out a man or a woman. A well trained women can generate a ton of force more then enough to knock out a man and visa versa. Yes men generally are bigger stronger faster which is a advantage. Skill rules. It is possible I could catch my boyfriend with a kick and knock him out even though he is bigger and stronger. He dont know much about fighting MMA or have the training.

    It's funny to see women training so hard and actually thinking that they could stand a chance against a man in an actual fight. Ronda Rousey, on her best day, could be taken out by most 40 year old fat guys.

    Im not in MMA but I have taken self defense course and my brother (boxer) taught me how to fight and gives me tips. I hate feeling helpless and I do not want to be an easy target just because I am a girl

    I did mma for four years and it's was really fun. I got a bunch of fucked up ligaments and an ear because of it.

    Even as a guy I think it's a great idea as it has helped me a lot. I just train sparcly with friends and occasionally a professional but just going through the basics in at home training helps tremendously

      That's also why I'm taller and can't multitask I think
