Martial Arts: Women can beat a Man?

Is it possible for a girl and a boy get trained by the same teacher and the girl can beat the boy? I think Martial Arts girls are not that strong (I'm a girl and I'm not trying to be sexist) but it seems the martial art girls are too soft (like when they try kicking and they seem so soft, etc..). Can someone answer my question?

Martial Arts: Women can beat a Man?
With the same or similar skill set and training a lady could sometimes beat a man. In a self defense situation where a lady goes for vital target areas quickly and ruthlessly then absolutely.


I am not trying to offend anyone but the differences in male vs female are very apparent, especially in combat sports. If technique was everything, as so many martial philosophers seem to think, then we would have at least as many women as men competeing against one another in mma (to use one venue as an example). And probably quite a few female champions if skill and technique was all that wins the fights. But there isn't.
Reply:depends on the girl and it depends on the boy.





There are tough broads and wimpy guys.





There are also tough guys who wouldnt hit a woman on principle.
Reply:You need to watch fight girls, and elitexc. They've had some bouts with women, and they're pretty good. The weight classes are much lighter, but women are starting to move up.





It's possible, because the magic element here is skill. Any two people can take the same art for the same amount of time, but can be at drastically different ability levels based on a number of factors. There's always going to be someone better than you, worse than you, at your level, and so forth.
Reply:your stupid. Yes, my sis did.
Reply:generally speaking men are stronger than women physically so if say in 10 matches chances are more than 5 of the times the man would have won. That is if men and women recieved similar training. Im speaking from what i see in taekwondo class...so dont lash back at me.
Reply:Sure,a lady could beat a man if she new what she was doing and the man wasn't traind and as agiliant as the lady.
Reply:Most martial arts are not focused on pure strength, but more proper technique.


almost any girl would be cable of producing the force neccessary to overpower a man, with the right technique.


Certain arts, such as judo, hapkido, and others..use the attackers force against them by directing their engery in the direction that they want them to go, so it doesnt take alot of strength to do so.


When both are equally trained, it is usually the male that wins because of the power involved, as men are typically stronger then man.
Reply:Yes there are some female martial artists in South Korean and China who can tear a man apart, even a male with a black belt. Some of the women I have met from Asia coul wreck a guy bar none
Reply:They can and they have on many occasions. Martial arts isn't focused on size or brute force, but rather the manipulation and proper exerted force as dictated by situation in order to defeat your opponent by USING their strength against them. Make no mistake - bulk and muscle can seem intimidating, however the bones beneath them snap and break just like any other bone. The fight is won with the resolve, skill, and determination of the fighter, not the size of their muscles or their gender.
Reply:a person can beat anyone else if they are determined to do so. if it means a girl beating a guy in martial arts sure if she really wants to she can.
Reply:If everything being equal, the boy will beat the girl but you can always train harder...
Reply:no
Reply:muhammed ali's daughter.Some girls use dojo like a "find a date " service.They also beleive they can't be effective and they have that "it's not nice to hit" thing going.


If the sensei can overcome the preconditioning and stereotype garbage society loads them with they can and do make strong opponents.
Reply:Sadly yes.


Girls body are naturally made to not easily get muscles and hard bones. Scientists explains that this is so that the baby wouldn't be crushed once it grows to certain size. So basically, women's bones, especially rib cages are more flexible. This is the whole reason why most men are stronger than women. If you start at the same rate, it is most likely that the guy would become stronger in the end because they gain muscles more quickly.





But in China, I heard of a woman who used weapons(sword) and not one person, even a man was able to defeat her. So when it comes to using weapons, it could go either ways.
Reply:Yes, but it depends on how good and well trained the girl is vs the guy. If she has much better technique and is better trained - she can easily win.
