Answer 1

Favorite Answer

As a female martial art instructor of over 40 years, I can advise you to disregard such a foolish person. Nobody who knows anything about martial art thinks it is about fighting. You carry on, I am a highly regraded and sought after instructor, and nobody disrespects my feminine figure, or my petite size. Keep your own council, and do what drives you. You can help many the way you are headed. Keep up the good work.

  John, I have an 8th -dan jujutsu friend. Didn't I mention leverage?
  

Answer 2

Try jiu jitsu. I'm cold at it and it only took me 6 months to get good enough to best black belts. If you study hard you'll be raw

Answer 3

I actually highly recommend married women with menopause take martial arts.

  They should at least do exercise, and martial arts are very mindful exercise.
  

Answer 4

It's not like ladylike to fight. Get yourself a husband who will look after you, my dear.

You should also consider getting a dog trained in BJJ & Krav Maga.

Edit to your comment: No, thank you but maybe you should consider that trolling is for teens.

Edit 2: Yes you are d-lips.

Answer 5

Martial arts are fine, but "fighting" in general is rarely necessary and rarely is a good solution. Live your life the way it makes you happy and don't pay attention to social expectations.

  You clearly don’t live in a city full of morons who get drunk and start fights, a lot of stabbings around too.
  

Answer 6

And here's what I say. Your first line of defense is always yourself.

Answer 7

I've never been told that. Do you live in Alabama or Afghanistan or something?

  Well then it was probably a troll just trying to upset you.
  

Answer 8

I don't know who you are, but you have one of my accounts blocked, so I am approximately 90% sure this is a trolling attempt.

Answer 9

I absolutely agree with you a lady should be able to defend themselves because there a lot of sick people out in the world.
