jesse the karate girl

They learn quickly that the girls hit back, and aren't afraid, at least the higher kyus and dans. Personally, I think karate is a lot of fun. Haven’t met any '’macho-men’’ in karate yet, but I’ve met plenty in other settings. My regular training partner is a 67 year old lady (yon-dan) who isn't even 5 feet tall and has no depth perception. We are all treated the same by our teacher, and in turn for the most part we treat each other the same. I never really had a feeling I was treated different by my sensei. You are doing a marvellous job, and with being a Mother, you should be damn proud for taking the bull by the horns and working on YOU !

Due to a unique situation I am in a position where at the dojo I help the instructors in the youngest class (and sometimes in the next age group) while participating in another class which is closer to my age group (however this class is mostly for upper belts).Great post! Made the National Team as Lightweight Kumite Alternate and continue to push myself to improve. I have met maybe one guy who had a 'problem' with women training. I love my friend and do indeed admire her, but the '’problem’’ with it being mostly people like her who practise martial arts is that the rest of us often feel like we have to be like that to be '’allowed’’ to do martial arts. Being the only female in class in conservative and male-dominated spaces limited my learning process in many ways. I really am bummed about it because I fight the same ladies all the time! I still appreciate her way of teaching and training. Guys who are macho asshats outside of training tend to be the same in class. Martial arts was never on the radar. In my class, I'm the only girl with 8 boys and in the kid's class, there are 4 girls out of almost 20 kids in total. Try again!" The instructors never treated me differently, but some of the men have. I am told about 80% of the younger female quit about the age of 15 - 17 because of other interests. In our dojo (I'm a student:) there is no male female, as a philosophy. Then the feminist the next rank up set him straight. I also compete regularly, and the women I fight are definitely "hard enough. I was the only girl ( I trained from 10 years old to 17) and the only kid. A female student who I knew who became a sensei in her own right was ostracized, put down by my own past sensei, excluded from instructor meetings and generally treated like a second class citizen. My dojo is big on tourniments but my sensei is good at knocking the macho boys, as i like to call them, down a few pegs.


That is why I am glad UFC and MMA exists, where the environment is kept real. I've met the odd teenage boy with a testosterone overdose, but nothing I couldn't handle. I'll be right over! Yet another problem is that we don’t want to hurt anyone. strike his vulnerable testicles, but a groin attack on her wont hurt as much. Hi Jessse, Jesse-san, I would never have thought I would take up karate (yes, I'm a girl). I'm one of those girls who have what many people refer to as ''birthing-hips'' and me and my mom were joking and saying that they should just call it warrior-hips instead seeing as how hip rotation in crusial for throwing a good punch and wider hips can certainly be an adtvantage. Looking for a Lady Who love or practice Karate 3) They don't think the bruises I usually sport on my forearms and shins are attractive (could say the same about gis and short fingernails) She recently moved to Richmond, but that's not too bad, since she never has to teach anymore because of her large instructor team. Now - I have always been one of the few women training at whatever dojo I've been in.

I'm not afraid for contact, though I must admit my hands look like crap. I have been to my sensei's dojo, again, same story. One should be attending a Dojo because their reasons are anything but the aforementioned. Nothing wrong with the competition side of karate either if that is your thing. One of them actually became my girlfriend and we've been together for 5 years now.

I'm often the only female for black belt class.

Last year I also went to an official get-together of all Shito-ryu karatekas in Madrid, and again... Women were represented by less then a 20%. My adult class is predominantly teen boys. Dose that have a plausible reason? The sign measures 22 in height by x 10 in width. possibly because the boys want to prove themselves while the girls are relieved that they don't have to. I offer it for discussion and not to suggest a stereotype. Kids and homes and families and jobs often pull them away. Well, that's part of it, I believe. Unlike boys, who will roughhouse while just hanging around with their friends, most girls don't grow up getting shoved around.

We train just as hard as the men do and are all serious about perfecting our technique by practicing and teaching the new students. In my opinion, karate women rock! I think it's safe to say she succeeded.

There are 4 women in the adult class at my dojo and our ages are 51, 54 (me), 18, and 15. Take me for example, I would probably have started some martial art a lot earlier if I didn’t just assume it was a man-thing. Among my current adult female students, there are none who can't take a punch. This great gift for a martial artist is a handmade Wood Burned Martial Arts Wall Sign made from 1-1/8 thick Brown Maple Hardwood. Like many have pointed out, the dojo I used to train at did indeed have a 50/50 male to female split in the student ranks. I see know that I should't be so worried about my aptitude, but my attitude. It's hard to practice fighting effectively on your own, so you must be in relationship and have trust with your fellow karate-ka.
In the world of Karate I have trained with man who show real respect, sensei that teach me the same way as everybody else but I've, also, trained with man who avoided me because "Karate is not for women", constantly testing my knowledge and skills. I started because I wanted to be a good example to my kids who were also becoming involved.
