thanks for answer

Can a woman, trained in martial arts, defeat a man?
Yes, but they must train really hard in realistic, self-defense, meaning that they have to do serious sparring against resistant partners, combined that with training, and a woman can potentially defeat a man.
Reply:NEVER
Reply:Yes. If they are trained properlley and they have enough focus and will to win they can defeat anything.
Reply:The average man defeats 99% of women in a fight, if they are really fighting. Unless the woman has SERIOUSLY trained for years, Technique, Strength, etc. It will make little difference. Most Martial Arts schools/Self Defense for women schools just give false confidence.





My ex wife had been taking kickboxing Aerobics for 6 months, and all of a sudden she thought she was bad ***. Case in point.
Reply:Short answer: Yes.





Longer answer: She will not win by fighting like a man, and she will not win if she relies on her strength and size. That being said... While size and strength are very important factors, they aren't the ONLY factors. Other factors such as speed, timing, weapons, environment, etc., come into play. If the woman recognizes how to use these other elements to her advantage, she has a far better chance.





Also, everyone (the woman included) has five main weak points that just cannot be protected by muscle mass. These areas, if struck hard, will hurt, no matter how tough you think you are. These are the eyes/nose, the throat, the solar plexus, the groin, and the knees.





Take the military, for instance. Obviously they cannot use tactics that rely on strength and size. There is always the chance that a soldier will have to take out someone bigger and stronger. So the military has to use tactics that *will* work, regardless of your gender, size, or strength.





And let's not forget that the majority of traditional martial arts were formed for smaller opponents to overcome bigger opponents, such as wing chun.





So yes, it's possible. But it's not as hard as the other users made it sound.
Reply:Depends.





If she's better trained, more experienced, more level-headed.








Sure. Hell, a little 10 year old could kick your butt if he was well enough trained.
Reply:Don't believe in all these macho headed guys. Martial arts teaches how to over come a stronger person. If you do know martial arts it is easy to beat someone who relies on brute strength and uses their fist as a club.





NOTE: The "self defence" arobic classes DO NOT TEACH YOU TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND GIVE ONLY FALSE CONFIDENCE
Reply:If she is well trained, of course. I know several women in my dojo who could take down most men.





One of them is a godan, amateur boxer, and a cop. Any of those three is pretty good, but the combination is deadly.
Reply:I teach my female students to attack forget the defend against this or that after it's happened .Dont let it happen.In just about every male /female situation there is some indication an attack is likely to occur .Attack before he does take him by surprise .





Other than dealing with sneak or ambush attacks this is a womans best advantage SURPRISE.
Reply:hell ya I'm a 13 teen yr old female black belt that can kick ur a**
Reply:When equally weighted I have beat men in sparring competitions. However, in a real life situation of defence a woman squaring off against a man does not have much of a chance. The one thing that she has going for her is that if you are well trained in martial arts, hopefully your reaction time would be improved. An attacker expects panic from someone they attack. A well trained martial artist female has a good chance at getting away because she will have fine tooned not only her reaction time, but also her type of attack (knowing where to strike and what strikes to you use).
Reply:The element of surprise might help a female defeat a male.


Ex.: I worked at a bar where a guy and a girl got into a verbal spat. Girl tells guy to back off, guy laughs and reaches into his pocket to get something(don't know what?)as he does this the girl immediately knees the guy in the groin, as he reacts she slaps him a couple times then takes a beer bottle and whacks him over the head. End-o-story! And a true one too! I'm sure it's on file with Santa Monica(Ca.)Police.
