Are you surprised a 5'7 woman can actually suffocate a 6ft man?

[Anonymous]

She's 5'7 and 140 Ibs (some Ibs are added muscle fat from martial arts) and her boyfriend is 6ft and around 175 Ibs.

During ground sparring, she was reaching for the neck but he ended up tapping. It turns out the position of her weight was suffocating/crushing his jaw, making him unable to break free. She was concerned afterwards but he's ok.

Needless to say this left her astonished, dumbfounded. Are you surprised a woman can suffocate a man?

Yes

No

of course not!

Bruce Lee himself was 5' 8"and weighted 135 lbs yet he was the best fighter in history. I wish more women could understand that in the world of martial arts SIZE DOES NOT EQUAL STRENGTH

He's an underweight soy boy. They generally aren't known for being tough.

This is what 6' male at 175 looks like.

It's all about technique and experience. And sometimes luck.

That's not surprising. It's why some do a lot of neck work.

Saying a woman can suffocate a 6ft man is like saying a person can get hit by lightning. Is it possible? Sure. Has it happened? Yup. Is it likely, nope.

Why would I be surprised?

Yeah that's the beauty of ji-jitsu.

Nah, that's what martial arts are for.
