    that's what so annonyed me - it was fine to get kicked, take a knee or elbow to the face but god forbid a woman should get punched

    I think it will take another 20 years before it's seen as more acceptable but it really needs some strong female role models. When I was training I studied fight tapes of guys because the women I watched were game but technically poor. I owe my killer left hook to the body to watching MAB, shadow boxing it, working it on the bag and then going looking for it in sparring. No one ever taught it me, I taught myself that one. Dropped one man and made another smart arse street fighter back peddle and stop messing about from that one punch. Gained plenty of respect from that one hand not punched any watermelons though I think that's what was holding me back.

    Which amateur club were you with if you don't mind me asking?

    All the girls at our club are very skillful, but one of our trainers is a woman so maybe we have quite a forward attitude to it.

    You can't help it though. We can't all be naturally heavy-handed

    never officially carded, came close but there was no one to fight so I quit! I trained in a couple of gyms in Stoke - couple are complete shit but most of my training I did in Sheffield.
    I spent a while training in a pro-am gym and watching the amatuers my style was far from that - the run at each other and flail for 2mins -nah not me, dumb.

    If men and women fought seriously and competitive, I can already see people suing, marching against it, pointing fingers at the guy for not playing a bit softer and lowering his game, etc. Put the best man vs the best woman and it will end ugly with the woman probably leaving the ring in a stretcher.

    I don’t have anything against women practicing martial arts or any sport for that matter. I am not interested, that’s all. If the best in women’s sports were at the same level as the best in men’s sports, then ok, different story but we haven’t seen yet and I don’t think we will ever see it.

    Sounds like a Goodfellas movie.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Women shouldn't be fighting men or fighting period. THeir asses belong in the kitchen making their men supper. The only time I want to see women engaging in any sort of combat sports is when they are mud wrestling in their bras and panties.
