  • obviously just demonstrating but in a real fight that guy would break both her arms and then some. hes not going to allow her or anyone to just pull his arm while he does nothing. in a real fight he would keep his arms up in a gaurd not have his palms on the floor unless hes a really stupid inexperienced beginer. once again, more female empowerment crap and the guy allows himself to be the dummy. that guy could destroy all those women in a real fight.

  • @bigblondman1

    Why is the concept of one beginning technique in an instructional difficult for some people to grasp? Do you think this is supposed to be the be-all and end-all of the fight, or one of thousands of options to be used in this position? And do you want to train with smaller and weaker people or larger and stronger people? Which gives you more benefit?

  • @soetsme youre missing my point. im tired of explaining this to all of you. but this vid is about female empowerment. its shows her demonstrating on him. it about showing how superior she can be. i know its self defense demo. but the deeper implication is to show her in charge, not him. in reality, she and any girl would have a tough time pulling this off in a street attack or even a real tournament match. because the guy would not offer his arm up so easily.

  • @bigblondman1, I directed this video, I know what the point was and it was not about female empowerment. Female empowerment has nothing to do with making a woman believe she can go out and kick butt and take names any more than personal empowerment has anything to do with convincing an average guy he can knock out NFL superstars. In fact, because of a lot of nonsense out there that puts potentially dangerous notions into women's mindsets. (CONTINUED)

  • @bigblondman1, CONTINUED: I was at a store and a woman, maybe 5'2" was being very rude to the cashier and I let her know what I thought, and she actually pursued me out of the store and confronted me with a bully smirk on her face, told me I didn't know with whom I was dealing and what she could do (and obviously she didn't know with whom she was dealing). If it was someone other than me, or some lowlife she could have been hurt or killed, because someone convinced her she was "bad." (CONTINUED)

  • @bigblondman1, CONTINUED: This is an instructional video, and to be able to do the move correctly, first you need correct form and application. For that you need a certain amount of cooperation from your partner. The actual learning takes place during actual grappling practice, where indeed no one will voluntarily offer his arm.

  • @soetsme unfortunately not all women are ready to fight, the truth is most women don't put up a fight out of fear on retaliation from their attacker, btw i'm a Marine and i can tell you that about only 10% of female Marines would put up a fight if attacked, it's a shame they lack the confidence or maybe it's the way they were raised? who knows, however i have a 14 year old daughter and i'v made her into one tough lil girl, don't get me wrong she's all girly as she should, but TOUGH AS NAILS ;D

  • @bigblondman1

    Okay, but martial arts have nothing to do with this. Women learn their capabilities quickly in good martial arts training, as well as their limitations and how to work around them. This is an image promoted by the male-bashing media. Look at all the so-called action shows. The man is always buffoonish and ego laden, the woman is smarter, quicker to act and ready, willing and able to kick the tail of any defiant male who gets in her way.

  • @bigblondman1 dude, are you saying that bjj will NOT help a smaller weaker person defeat a larger stronger person?? That's pretty much what bjj is all about. I don't think this video is made to show how superior a woman is over a man, i think it's about showing a bjj technique. I know women who tap big tough guys every day. I think you're afraid of women and project your personal "issues" onto videos like this one. Man-up dude.

  • @soetsme  i am a former karate instructor so i know what youre saying. i also know what im talikng about. i also know what most women are capable of doing. most are not that capable. only very few can pull of what you and i can do. but by comparison, im still stronger than all these women and far more capable, still. they wouldnt get away with much of anything on the street.they better be exceptional, only very few are, or theyll get killed. seriously.

  • @soetsme frankly you should have taught her a hard lesson then she seemed to be asking for it. id never strike first but if she tried anything i would respond. and i also know how as well.
