any one calling themselves master deserves to get beat. You're always learning.
ral. What is the point of martial arts?
To defend yourself. Not competition. Competition is something we've set up so it's play fighting. Even the stuff classed as NHB has rules. How many fights do you think would end by a kick in the balls or an eye gouge or how about allowing biting? Fact is for me-I've usually been the only woman in the class/gym so most people were/are bigger stronger than me so I'm used to it and the same would be said about men, in training you will face people of different sizes do you treat them the same? No you'd be foolish to not recognise the differences. I don't know why people make this a male/female issue. Would you ask the same question of a featherweight boxer against a heavyweight boxer. So I see it as a moot question.
The gym is not the street and I would have no qualms about kicking you in the balls and legging it or glassing or anything else than equals me being safe when it comes down to it.
Hope this helps
