What do you think of women grappling with men in karate or jiu jitsu class?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I think it's generally a bad idea due to potential legal issues. The man is asking to be sued by the woman for inappropriate touching or sexual harassment or some such.

See my video where I explain more about this problem.

There's one video I saw that was quite funny. The guy looked like he was struggling not to get a boner throughout the whole thing.

I guess it's not an issue so long as you're respectful.

Why are Men and Women taking the same karate or jiu jitsu class together?

What a complete and utter load of fucking Bollox. smh

I hope you're not suggesting that we (women) shouldn't go to such classes.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I didn't say that at all. I'm just saying it's a legal risk, and as a man who has been falsely accused before, I know legal risks exist. I was just minding my business at college one day and got a letter from the Dean explaining that I was expelled because a woman, with no evidence whatsoever, falsely accused me of "stalking" her. I tried to get a lawyer, and the lawyer said I would have no case, because it would just be my word vs hers.

This stuff happens, and a man shouldn't put himself in a compromising situation to increase the likelihood of being sued about it.

[EmmaMary]

So what do you suggest as a solution then?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I don't exactly know, but women should grapple women and men should grapple men.

[EmmaMary]

And what should happen if a real life situation arose?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

The woman should probably rip the male attacker's eyes out.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

It is a martial arts class, as long as you are all professional then there is no legal issues or suing.

I see nothing wrong with men & women interacting with one another, whether work environment or leisure activity or martial arts. Some people are so ‘snowflakey’.

It sounds like equality to me.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

It's not equal. The only time I've ever been beaten by a woman at martial arts was when I was 16 years old and she was 6 entire belt ranks above me at the time, and I was "rusty" and hadn't practiced in 3 years. In that case, she caught my front roundhouse kick and put me in the Reverse Figure Four Ankle lock and transitioned to the Calf Crusher from there, at which point I was forced to tap out. I was 6th kyu at the time (light green belt) and she was a first degree black belt.

I haven't made that mistake since then, and I tap out 2nd degree black belts of both genders pretty easily these days.
