Girls, Do you think Martial arts is a male sport?

No I know woman who do martial arts but karate probably attracts more women than boxing or judo

[Asker]

Have you done martial arts? Or play any sports?

I took 2 karate lessons when the university offered free sample sessions to newbies who wanted to try it before buying. I took a free break dancing class at the school when some guys offered a free dance class to promote their club and in high school I had a ping pong table I used every month and I went swimming with my best friend every week. Now I don't do sports other than walking.

My college has free self defense classes and my one of teachers is the instructor, and she asked me to volunteer to pretend to be the “attacker” for the class

[jennifer_bloom]

That sounds like a difficult responsibility but it might be something you feel equipped to do.

[Asker]

I’m a little nervous the girls will beat me up

[jennifer_bloom]

They might. It’s why most people don’t want the job she offered you.

[Asker]

She said I’ll be wearing padding but to make sure I bring a cup since groin kicks are very common

You'll see a lot of MMA women fighters acrossing over to wwe, Rousey, Blazlar, Deville.

[Asker]

Have you ever done a class?

[collie22]

I see mostly guys doing self defense but my teacher treats me with respect so it's okay

[Asker]

what type of self defense class is it?

[collie22]

It's a mix of five martial arts

[Asker]

I took a self defense class and it was hard dealing with the groin shots, even when wearing a cup

[collie22]

That sounds awful

[Asker]

Do girls expect guys to handle groin shots if they are wearing cups?
