jiggy 3,207 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 My mate trains the local club and says a lot of young fellas are getting disheartened and leaving the clubs from boxing in tournaments without winning medals while the girls pick them up easy enough because lack of numbers and competition if they are commited. It's embarrassing for them going home with nothing when their sister has 5 national titles on the mantle piece. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 6,570 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Made me feel uneasy. The girl was extremely talented ,but girls should not fight boys. Its wrong. My boys were taught you should never hit a woman. Surely by mixing the sexes in the ring you are giving mixed messages to boys about domestic abuse? But my God she wss talented.

Greyman 25,237 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 All my kids went to kickboxing as youngsters, but with my daughters it was a very hard moral decision for me to let them step into the ring for completions, but I always said all the training and belts in the world means nothing until you have someone firing back at you so we travelled and done a few inter club bouts but as the numbers of girl fighters was very limited they would always end up fighting the same opponents due to limited numbers of girls at certain weights and skill levels, the boys on the other hand had different opponents everywhere they went so maybe that's why she needs to fight a boy, ????

marshman 7,756 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Not into girls fighting I’m a bit old fashioned like that . But I’ve started to change my mind these days I’ve seen vids of girls kicking the shit out of other poor girls getting bullied .i think it’s a good thing for young girls to learn to hold their hands up to defend themselves same with the lads .
