Guys, what do you think of girls who want to try/already do kickboxing, krav maga or martial arts, just for fun?

Question

I've always wanted to give it a try but everytime I found some type of an excuse. Lately, I've been watching more of the sports channel with my dad and he told me he used to do box when he was still in his teens, stopped only because of his friends did. He regrets it now, says it was/is a good stress reliever, makes you think of other things.

Apparently it'd be perfect for me because I could meet new people, especially guys, and move my ass a little bit and learrn useful self-defense tricks if ever needed (hopefully not).

I am no longer as fit as I used to be, but my dad said it'd be okay to give it a try just for fun and that I'd actually get more into shape and get some endurance. Also, my job is a sedentary one : so that's another reason.

So yeah, what do you think about this?

I train in traditional Thai boxing, and it’s a good mix of guys and girls. Yes, it has many health benefits both physically and mentally I would say. Girls do train and spar with guys in my class (maybe your class would be different), but allowing full contact groin strikes really balances up mixed gender sparring and competing. I would say give it a go, even just for a few classes, and you can always decide it’s not for you and maybe try another class, or a different sport completely.

I KNOW it will absolutely improve your life. Half the nurses in my territory regularly train Kickboxing. For me, it gave me back my confidence at a really hard point in my life and has for so many other, of all walks of life. You will get healthy, live healthy and make healthy decisions with such an jnvestment. I 100% recommend you give this a try. What are you considering for a martial art?

I took at least one kick boxing class with my cousin at the gym she visited in Philadelphia when I was a teenager who would visit her home for 3 months out of every summer. It was a good experience but I don’t remember what happened.

Good ideal you have, I've done self defence for three years I like it

You will certainly learn the obvious lesson if you pick krav maga that you won't have much of a chance against a mans size and strength. So most women drop out after the tough training, still doesn't give much of a result.

What are you waiting for? Do it! I recently joined a fight club, we learn kickboxing Maui Thai. I'm loving it , learning new moves, getting better at it, gaining more stamina. I also hoped to meet some single women. But not that many people in our classes. I seem to get unlucky like that. But I do have a little crush in the teacher. She's a 5 foot something power house!

Men might consider you too masculine for doing that, but it also pretty cool if you do that.

NathanDavis · Answer

plenty of benefits to it... when you do it with the right people, and the right mindset as well  would really recommend to start with some kick boxing classes though...

I've always loved girls who were into it. It's kinda like a kink or something lol. I'm into kickboxing too and I fell for a girl who did it.

I think they're awesome. Go forth and enjoy.

TallAnon · Answer

Sounds great, I've done martial arts for years and you come across all kinds of girls, but just in general it's fun if a girl has something to talk about; Even more when you have something in common.

PepePatriot · Answer

the-mad-german · Answer

its amusing how they think that now they can challenge a man after 2 years of taking class in that.
