Should there be a martial art where girls fight against guys competitively?

[Anonymous]

For a long time I’ve thought how great it would be to see a martial art where girls and guys compete against one another fairly. I believe there would be great interest in such a competition. If this were to ever happen, how would this work? And what rules would go into such a competition? 🤔 Allowing girls to be a higher rank to compensate for a guy’s natural physical advantages? Allowing ‘low blows?’ I know some, albeit very few martial arts already allow these things, because that’s how my club manages mixed fights, but how could this work for a recognised, top-level competition? And would any girls be especially interested in seeing a girl take on a guy in such a competition? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you in advance for any answers 🙂

Girls would target the crotch as primary target.

They do in my class 🙄 it is a great leveller, but whether it would work often enough at a top level to make it competitive I’m not sure.

No, which is why it's ludicrous that they let trans women compete against women in some combat sports. It's not a level playing field.

It would not end well. People would get hurt badly.

Of course not. That's not fair at all. A man has business hitting a woman.

That would last about a day and then the only competition left would be males.

Yes, there should be equality, women can be excellent fighters, like Xena.
