The hell's wrong with you girls?

You DO NOT kick the balls first.

You go for the EYES first. Fingers in the fucking eyes. That's the only goddam chance you've got against someone who's as big as 1.5 or 2 of you.
That's the only chance I've got, ffs, and I'm 6'2" and I grew up on the eastside streets of Long Beach. If you think yr gna win any other way, you are beyond delusional.

Eyes first. If you can temporarily blind yr opponent, THEN, MAYBE, you can incapacitate him.

Whether to go for the balls at all, depends on what the dude is wearing. If he's wearing heavy cotton denim pants that sag, forget it. Forget it. You'll just get yr leg caught in there, and then yr toast. Game over.

I'm not the averages, shorter unskilled Jane so yes that would be easy.

Who I'll probably won't be able to beat up is my male counterpart who is also a great martial artist. He's only 2 years older than and me like (even taller at 6'3 while I'm 5'11), has been training since he was a little kid.

My younger brother is also enrolled in self-defense classes and now that he'll be ending his freshman year in June, he's getting harder to beat in our matches.

As a general rule: while the average Jane can't beat the average Joe, a trained girl can't but the trained girl won't beat the best male fighter.

I train and will tell you that sometimes the average guy just gets lucky, doesn't matter how good you are, how disciplined you are, or anything else anyone who is 100% confident that they will win just hasn't been in enough fights to know that some days the other guy just gets lucky or you pick the wrong guy or a bright light flashes in your eyes... etc. etc.. And as far as winning I will tell you win lose or draw you will still walk away from a fight in pain, so the best thing is to just not fight.

I learned to simply run away from fights unless they talk shit about my family or my SO. I've taken classes and I fought plenty; had broken ribs on more than one occasion, scar in my head from being hit with a pipe and so forth. The point is I can fight and beat more than just an average person, but I'll always choose to walk or run away unless it really matters or a life and death situation.

I mean...

Okay so I work security and it's kind of my job to take down people. And let's be real...99% of people are going to be bigger than me.

So... I'm reasonably confident that I could take them down.

I have my ways.

Possible_Mate · Answer

If I can kick his balls, I win. If I can't, I lose XD I'm 5'2 and not very good with fights so..  I can punch da ladies tho lol around my weight of course XD

Dtegesd123 · Answer

if we both have no martial arts experience. Yeah I'd say I could beat him up. The average guy here in Canada would be 5'9 169lbs and barely any muscle. Also probably hasn't ran or did any cardio besides having sex since their early 20s

ChocoLada · Answer

I'm sure I can, I'm trained in kickboxing and judo ;)

Shiyu · Answer

I wouldn't lose to an average anything I have the best trainer. :p

Aizou · Answer

I could, but I wouldn't.. I love martial arts, but I.. dislike, meaningless violence.

Anonymous · Answer

I have no confidence in my ability to take any guy down, even when a boyfriend was squaring up to beat me up, a kick in the balls did nothing but get me hurt more. It didn't even slow him down

Lonely_Blue_Moon · Answer

Well, I'm significantly, but not massively, bigger than the average male in the US, but I'm also not very muscular, so I'll give it 50/50 odds.

ArtDent · Answer

Why does the fight have to be fair? That's not real life.

ConsultantIsBack · Answer

Totally confident lol  But I wouldn't unless that was the only resort

Anonymous · Answer

7-9 (almost completely confident) IF I get mad then closer to 100%.

Dred1614 · Answer
