Good point about “getting used to it.” While it is different fighting in the school vs the real thing. I think there is a lot of benefit getting used to fighting.

I’m so glad that women are staking out their ground in MMA as like so many sports – women can be really great at this and it boosts anyone’s self confidence to see others do well.

Kind of funny video of Paris Hilton… I always wonder with her how much is real and how much is for show.

I also understand how odd and strange it is for people (even me) to watch women fight. We just have to get used to it. I know someone who deals with deadly and bloody situations. He has a technical term for “getting used to it”.

It’s a process. We can’t rush people to love the sport or to love the idea of women fighting. People are still getting used to the idea of men cage-fighting.

I’m coming to this post late – I’m sure you’ve seen Paris Hilton doing her MMA training by now. If now, come visit my blog and take a peek

Hi Dewitt, I hope your training goes well!

I was teaching a former girl friend (a brown belt at the time) in a group class… I had just corrected her counter punch and looked away and yelled punch. She punched me while I was distracted and it was the funniest thing you ever saw – me rolling around the mat in pain.

I don’t underestimate women to this day now!

Hey Tiger,

Yep… I agree the more high level fighters – the sooner the women will make it. That is partially why I devote so much of this blog with empowering stories about women fighters – so girls and women will know they can fight too!
