ive been asked this question 100 times. If the skills are equal the guy wins...if the difference is two belts or more and weight is within 20 lbs...the higher belt usually wins regardless of gender...case closed.
Perfect Example of a match i had when i was 13 with a 6'2 205 lb women. I weighed in at 105 for this tourny.

Womens fights are awesome if they are the serious kind, not the flaky kind. Women are hard as fuck. They have high pain thresholds and they fight to the death!
Iv said it before, but the hardcore girls (the Gabbys) are much rarer than the guys, but in terms of how hardcore they are, the best of the girls put the best of the guys to shame. Everyone knows that girls are not as strong as guys. If its judged on work ethic and bone hardness I believe the best of the girls come out on top.
If you really want to see a tiny little girl knock a solid dude the fuck out, the recipe is take equal parts ex ballerina and competent Muay Thai trainer, simmer for six months, stand back and enjoy.
Iv been teaching my girlfriend Jiu Jitsu so I have a portable pint sized training partner and shes a beast. Shes 120lbs and Im 220lbs and I dont get anything for free. Definitely the most talented beginner I have rolled with regardless of gender. Im looking forward to getting her some girls to roll with so she realises how good she is (she thinks I just go easy on her).
I think they have done studies on the strength difference between men and women which showed that all things being equal men are 10% stronger then women. Which works out similar to what gabby was saying about there being less than 20lbs difference technique prevails. If you look at all the world records for athletics the margin between the men and women's records is also about 10%.
Hey Sly nice video but I wish I had it years ago. I remember a conversation I had with my mates girlfriend and her buddies. They actually thought that when these women beat up men in movies that it's actually possible to do that in real life! I said no.1 those punches and kicks wouldn't hurt most guys and no.2 even if you did knock him to the ground he would just get straight back up again and be angry as fuck! Then what are you gonna do? Of course they didn't buy it and what made it worse was that none of them even did any martial arts! This video would have been helpfull at the time!
I'm assuming your talking about Jiu-jitsu only? That of course relys on leverage not strength and athletisism like a real fight. Kudos to your victory over a much larger opponent. That was impressive!
Wow Tim thats a pretty big statement to make? How can you possibly make such a sweeping generalisation based on your own personal experiences? Have you been in the camps of all the worlds best male and female fighters and compared them all to each other? I'm not sure how can really say how you the best of the girls put the best of the guys to shame?
