Inu... You misunderstand what I mean. I'm not disputing that an experienced fighter would not be dangerous. What I am expressing is that gender shouldn't necessarily be an issue, whether it is in the ring or in a street fight.

“	Originally Posted By: Lugaldamhara MMA is a sport. If you aren't competing in MMA then you aren't "doing MMA". You can do backyard fighting or dojo fighting using MMA rules and you can train in the arts and styles that MMA fighters train in but if you aren't "doing MMA" then you aren't "DOING MMA".	”

So if you go to the gym/dojo and your class consists of BJJ, wrestling, boxing, and muey thai kickboxing this isn't MMA? What do you call this class if its not MMA? Because thats what class I did for about a year and a half.

That not what I was confused about, I was confused about you being afraid to fight anyone in MMA.

What's confusing ? Most MMA fighters train extremely hard, and are generally tough people.

you have too much time on your hands.
Good job though.

I didn't mean that I'd be afraid. I meant that I would most likely knocked out very early, but I mean that I have just as respect for a female opponentas I would for a male opponent.

that's good.
I thought you meant you were afraid of all people who do MMA.

In my experience over the years MMA practitioners have only been out done by Capoeiristas (and not by much) on levels of hospitality and openness when it comes to new people entering the school. Sometimes from other schools (specifically Bujinkan) they will look down on any practice that you've done in the past.

Wait a second, that has nothing to do with this thread. I guess I'm just saying that IRL outside of a fight there is zero reason to be afraid of most MMA people.

“	So if you go to the gym/dojo and your class consists of BJJ, wrestling, boxing, and muey thai kickboxing this isn't MMA? What do you call this class if its not MMA?	”

You call it BJJ, wrestling, boxing, and muay Thai kickboxing.... or, if techniques and principles of those arts are being taught in asynthesized manner in a combined fashion by a single coach (i.e. Greg Jackson's Gaido-jitsu or Pat Miletich's Miletich Fighting Systems) then it is referred to as Gaido-jitsu or Miletich Fighting Systems. It's not called MMA because MMA is a sport. BJJ, boxing, wrestling and muay Thai, Gaido-jitsu and MFS are all styles.

“	Because thats what class I did for about a year and a half.	”

It was misnamed. You can't go to a class and throw a football through a tire for 20 minutes, run sprints for 20 minutes, do wrestling takedowns for 20 minutes and then practice catching frisbees for 20 minutes and say you are "doing football". Yes, every skill you are developing in this class will help you if you ever do play football but you aren't playing football in that class.
