Be mindful of their chest area, and just try to be aware of each persons individual strength and skill- as you would with anyone else.
Just one other thing to maybe keep in mind- be careful not to belittle their place there without realizing it. It's a hobby they're interested in so I'm sure many of them don't want to be treated as weak because of their sex.
It is a class. Absolutely. This is a case where she is trying to learn. Follow the rules, try not to hurt anyone, and have at it, give it your all, don't hold back. Totally different than beating some random girl up on the street, it's a class. You will all learn better, if everyone gives it all they've got. Go for it. If you do accidentally hurt a girl, just say you're terribly sorry, but didn't want to hold back because you knew she could handle it.
Simply treat them exactly the same as the men you train with, most women (myself included) would feel more insulted if you went easy or tried to treat them differently. Women don't want to and don't expect to be treated differently. Women can in fact help to improve you're ability as typically they are faster and more agile so it will help you work on improving yourself in those areas and help you defend better, men will help you know how to defend againsgt strong opponents but women faster and more agile opponents.
Ultimately just treat them the same and as you've said they can get you to the ground quickly learn everything you can from them.
you treat that girl as you would a man. you hit where you will earn points. chest stomach head etc. the point of sparring is to teach you how to apply your skills and techniques as if you were in a real fight. if a woman were to try and kill you barehanded. i hope you wouldnt try to be a gentleman
In the Dojo / Dojang all are equal. Treat a woman exactly as you would a man of the same age and rank.
I hit the opposite sex as hard as i hit everyone else. If they are there to spar then they should be prepared to be hit.
You should be quick as possible but as soft as possible.
you dont want to beat them up but you dont want to go easy on them and do them a disservice
no these two sexes dont mix
best u bail out and dont waste your time there
I am part of a Tang Soo Do class that is 60- 80% female. I was wondering if there a way to spar against a girl and still be a gentleman. Kinda. I hope I communicate this efficiently.
