Girls, Why don’t more girls compete in martial arts?

Maybe because it's more of a masculine trait?

[Asker]

Sports in general are but girls still do that a lot more

[Ashley1993]

Yes but in my opinion combat sports are more kind of masculine and less feminine than say Ballet or Tennis

[Asker]

Ballet is kinda a girly sport lol

[Asker]

I do Krav Maga which is pretty macho

[Ashley1993]

That's great!

[Asker]

There’s only a few women and they are much older than me so I feel bad using full strength - they don’t seem to care about striking me full force though lol

[Ashley1993]

Go easy on them lol..
I have a sis who got hurt sparring with men.. she stayed away from then on

[Asker]

That’s the thing! I do but then they are using full focus on me, last class one of them Gave me a black eye after I was going lightly on her

[Ashley1993]

That's cheap of them! Why don't they respect the fact that you are going easy on them?

[Asker]

It’s like they need to prove something
