I've worked as a bouncer at a bar now for over a year, I've broken up my own fare share of fights both men and women, so I can handle just about any situation myself even if the odds are stacked against me. Knowing what I know, and how strong I am any women I get in a fight with is gonna be broken...pure and simple...thats why avoid any and all confrontation
I hold the same principles. However - saying unequivocally that you would *never* hit a woman under any circumstances *ever* I think is an un-true statement, which you would be making out of some sense of chivalry.
@Firefly
Also, some people have been saying, how they'd only hit them if they had a knife. If they have a knife, run away
That's what we train to do.. you can't run forever though, and if they chase you - the first thing we look for is an.. 'equalizer' or some kind of weapon. Something to make them wonder how good they are with the knife.
@Xavier
That's stupid to say, The cold hard facts are that the average woman is weaker and less violently aggressive than men. It's just how people are. Respect has nothing to do with denying logic and facts. Fairly foolish statement if you ask me.
Well, if you actually had any ability in reading comprehension you would note that I didn't say 'average woman' I said women - which includes those that are *not* average. I study Kung Fu with some seriously dangerous ladies, and I've also met women that are like friggin' amazons - they're around 6'4" and weigh like 240 lbs. of pure muscle & could overpower a lot of guys without breaking a sweat. Perhaps the next time you attempt to insult someone you should pay more attention.
In self defense? I would pin them down with judo/jujitsu, or disarm them, depending on the situation. Although if I was a hired assassin I would most definitely fire at anyone, but that if a "what if" situation, since I am not a hired assassin, I'm just an assassin, I only kill those I dislike (I just made over 1,000 friends by saying this).

In my experience, most people who carry knives aren't physically fit or trained and so running would probably do you a lot of good. I remember when I was 13 I got mugged with a knife held to my throat. Didn't do any physical damage, but I sure was shook, which is why, if the option is there, I'd much rather run than stay and fight. My boxing wouldn't really help in that case either, not when they have a weapon. It's all about generating as much power in as little distance as possible. Not very handy when they have a knife.
Like I said previously, I would go Golden Sun on a woman if she drew a weapon. Lol. ----- Lie graham said, equal rights equal punishment. If a girl attacks me, then self-defense is my right. It's an antiquated view to favor -either- side.
As a woman, I would have no problem hitting another woman as long as she attacked me first. And no pulling hair either, I prefer a punch to the face. Girls take hits quite as well as guys.
Just think of somebody like Venus Williams. I think she's as muscular as I am, plus tops me by 3 inches.

Wouldn't be so quick to say that if I were you. You need to check the updated stats of violence assaults. In Australia, among the younger age groups, girls and women are now more frequently instigating violent incidents than guys and men. As to why nobody has a real reason but it's a reality. I've seen at least half a dozen news reports of girl gangs maiming taxi drivers over the past few months.
Ultimately I feel that you guys should really think more about the socio-legal aspects of any physical action against females. The law will still heavily favor females particularly if the female is injured and the male is not.
And that's ultimately why I wouldn't hit somebody. Damage is a liability.

If Venus Williams was going to fight you... I'd GTFO, because she could knock you out. Seriously. You can't even hope to 1 punch 1 KO, more like a fake left and star running.
Jesus, Venus Williams is a monster indeed! but I am a Black Belt in Taekwondo so I dunno...
belts don't really matter as I am a 3 dan taekwondo black belt, I was easily thrown by a child smaller than me well versed in the arts of Brazilian jujitsu. So, it doesn't matter what kind of belt you have, in a street environment you can't really tell what will happen.
doesnt take an idiot to kick a guys ass in taekwando...if you no what your doing. Theres actually a special way to do it, which they have no self defense experience in. ive got into a few fights with some dorks who think their badass just cuz they wear a belt

To be fair to Xavier it's the opposite in the UK. Although female crime rates have been rising, not in proportion to males on male violence, which has skyrocketed. Maybye it's just the terrible state of society that we discount females because males are so much worse. Still, I know who'd I'd rather fight on the street, out of male or female.
Physically males develop more natural muscle and females develop more fat. Of course they can train, but I'd agree average women are weaker than average males, and the average person doesn't have training.
