Wrong again my friends:

All the want is SUBLIMO who walks with that cocky, rhythmic sway and who enters the dojo like he owns it. You will be attracted to his coolness, aggresiveness, and of course that damn sexy body. You know SUBLIMO is bad news, but you can't stop those butterflies from fluttering in your stomach every lesson you see him and maybe with a superwoman like you in his life, he'll give up his bad ways. So if you're looking for love, you'll probably find him in Sutani dojo in Belgium somewhere, looking fine and breaking hearts.

I still have a dillema about whether to punch on the higher part of the chest, or into the abdomen when sparring women. I am extreemly carefull with this, as I don't want to faux pas and recieve a kin geri. Can some one tell me more about accepted protocol when punching at female karateka in sparring?
One other point: The time I was most convincingly pwned in karate sparing was against Senpai Erin (Christchurch Seido Juku). The male-strength factor seemed irrelevant, as her speed and reflexes were enough to control me. I felt a hint of the her power, and I'm glad it wasn't a competition match.
I feel hesitant posting my opinions, cause the members of this forum are much more clued up than me, but I can't help but think that women have a natural strength in the most fundamental aspect of Karate: The hips. I was once told that "If you are punching, and your belt is not swinging, then you are not using your hips. May sound basic, but I see many accomplished karateka neglecting the hips.
I have seen female security guards control larger men with perfection. I have also been told by my female friends that women are more well prepared for physical pain, to cope with child-birth. Perhaps I've gotten off-topic, but I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

Dear RJC,
I think the general practise is to never punch the breasts. But if you do not even punch the abdomen then you have gone too far (unless they otherwise specify there is a period pain or something). Communication is key.

OSU!

If she has a chest-protector on, no problem... you're gonna hurt yourself more than her (that clonk-noise is your hand hurting ) otherwise like kakatootoshi, communication is the key

id say just try to stay in your comfort zone. if you dont want to punch her in vital areas then dont do it. everyone is saying communication is key but if its an older sempai you dont know outside the dojo you may not be comfortable bringing this subject up with them. no matter how angry it makes some women, just remember its a good thing for you to not want to hurt them.

absolutely true. womens hips do work differently than mens. some people might call this an unfounded myth but do Judo for a few years and you will see for sure. there are certain leg-reap type moves that will get guys almost every time but women will just stand there virtually uneffected.

i havent noticed this effect in karate yet but karate is much more individually oriented. kihon, kata, bag work, etc etc.

I have to go with helenosh on this one and say that if she has a chest protector - you can punch her anywhere chudan. If she doesn't - then she should put one on or not fight. She should take of herself more than she expects others to take care of her!

My 2 pence ...

True.... I find men always get in a panic when they hit the old 'knocker-box' i find it amusing 'clonk', oh sorry, 'clonk' sorry sorry' ha ha.

Osu! Lucy,

You really have a way with words. Romance novels are only a step away.

Osu!

While on the semi-subject...

Ladies, could I please have your recommendation for best chest protectors for women with assets?

Osu!

Tough one! Anything that protects your assets while resting on your sternum and ribs. You need to try before you buy really.

ow ow ow I have a new vision what women wants! Not a badboy but a gentlemen:

You like a fighter who knows how to treat a lady. Your karate man will be suave, sophisticated, and dashingly handsome. He remembers the little things that matter: holding doors open, offering his gi to you when you're cold, and giving you Japanese flowers when you're down. Your Mr. Perfect will respect you, love you, and make you feel beautiful, because you are! So even though you may find yourself attracted to bad guys sometimes, save your heart for your very own Mr. Sublimo.


Am I right or am I right?

Osu! DKKC,

Thanks, but a bit weird in either the local Karate store or Victoria's Secret. Best to let her try it on herself.

Osu!
