BJJ as self defense for women

[Ric]

After watching my 10,000th street fight video on World Star Hip Hop this morning, I had a realization. Women never get knocked out or even significantly hurt by the punches and kicks of another woman. Think about that. BJJ as self defense for women makes a lot of sense. Much more sense than it makes for a man. A woman can pursue pretty much any takedown on another woman with no fear of being knocked out. If anyone has seen a single street fight where a woman knocks out another from punches or kicks, please post the link. Like I said, I've never seen it happen. That also explains why female fights tend to be so long. They can't do any real damage to each other so the fights just drag on and on.

I know there are issues with BJJ when it comes to multiple attackers, but if you don't have to worry about being knocked out while you are in pursuit of a takedown, that makes BJJ training even more valuable in a street fight if you ask me.

And on another note, isn't it funny that virtually every female fight involves one girl controlling another by pulling her hair but you never see this addressed in any self defense for women instructional. No one offers any strategy for breaking that grip. No one offers strategies for using that grip on your hair to help you take down your opponent. Instead its multiple strategies for dealing with a 2 handed choke when your opponent has you up against a wall -something I've never seen happen in a female street fight video.

And while we are on the subject of females...

BJJ is the ultimate form of self defense for women imo, afa martial arts go.

I always thought Rosie O'Donnell looked like she has an iron chin, I swear that bitch can probably take harder punches than Cabbage Corriera

I totally know what you mean. Ever single fight ends up with the one girl on top in mount and the other underneath. If only they had some technique they'd be alright. I did however see a girl hit a Janky-Ass Butterfly sweep once. It was a thing of beauty.

dude i've been talking about the same shit for a while. I don't think woman can be knocked out cold like dudes. out of all the chicks fights street & MMA i've seen. a girl has never been knocked out cold. even that video of a chick on a bus getting uppercutted by the dude bus driver and she didn't get knocked out either. there must be a mechanism in a womans chin that makes it impossible for them to get knocked out. " crazy "

It's like God built them to be able to take a slap in the head. In the kitchen.

But shouldn't women's self defence be all about defending against men?
