men and women

[Kurzy]

Was that really a shudder, or more of a quiver?

I will roll. With anybody girl or guy but I never leave the gym without showing you what moved I used to tap you out .

thats how ive gotten people in my gym into tpjj. i tap them out over and over with things from the rubberguard and then they ask me how i did something and show them at the end of the class.

Really, Jonathan, is about time you contribute to the forum.

I don't see it as a binign sort of bigotry at all. If anything I think it is a natural tendancy towards chivalry.
I think it is ingrained in men that they should protect women, and rolling with them goes against our natural tendency to protect them from that sort of thing.

There's a fine line between bigotry and chivalry, and many a law discriminating against women in the past were made with the intent to "protect" them.

Keep it simple, menfolk: Just like you would gauge the intensity and energy level of any other new guy you're rolling with, check with your lady partner to see how hard she wants to go. It's pretty obvious that if you outweigh her by 50 lbs you shouldn't be smashing. That has nothing to do with "chivalry" and everything to do with common sense. We're more flexible and yes, because of our weight disadvantage 75% of the time, we tend to be more technical. Take advantage of the differences to work different angles of your game. And be fair. If I ever catch a guy letting me win "because I'm a girl" I'll call him out for the pansy boy he is.

Letting you win, or letting you work? I purposely leave common mistakes open as a test to lower belts regardless of gender. If you capitalize, you past the test. The test will be harder next time. Props and don't take it personal.

Depends who it is. The higher ranking do the same. They want to make sure I see shit... I get that and am great with that. I have asked my blue belts partners not to spare me anymore, even if they out weigh me. These are the guys that keep me on my toes in a different way because they will tap my ass out if I fuck up.

What I don't like/want is "pity". It happens, guys rolling like they are going to break us or we would cry if we got tapped.

[bobby rivers]

sound perspective. Just capitalize on their pity. Relentlessly. It wil stop.

I always tell people in class when I see them being "careful" not to put weight on girls that they wouldnt be here if they were easily broken.
