Last night there was a karate class at my gym (weight gym) and the instructor was telling 14 year old girls that they were currently able to defend themselves against capably-fighting grown men. It seems dangerous to mislead them like this and could have pretty serious consequences if they ever test this prediction. My friend's 14 year old sister was in the class and, knowing that I trian, she told me with a straight face that she would embarrass me in a fight. Dangerous.
You should have suplexed her there and then. It's for the best.
Maybe your friend's sister COULD kick your ass.
yer.. maybe she knows something we dont
Offer to have a friendly light sparring match with them. If you take them down and they complain how "you can't do that", let them know that "you can't do that" doesn't exist against a real opponent. Show them how useless their strikes are against someone with superior movement and footwork.
Some people just have to learn hard way.
She put you in your rightful place.
No offense, but that has nothing to do with "TMA." The instructor on the other hand is an idiot.
"Show them how useless their strikes are against someone with superior movement and footwork. "
And then the TMA 14 year old starts gouging the MMA enthusiast in the eyes, elbowing to the back of the head and spine and grabbing the fence and he yells "hey you can't do that"
I also thought they were about defending themselves and getting away rather than trying to win a fistfight against a grown man.
TF? Pics!
