I want to know how common this is. I was told by the 19 year old girl who did this on me that a lot of girls today know it. I know I was being sexist, but it's what I really thought. I went into the gym and saw this one girl doing some stretches and I asked her what for. She said martial arts and I was like HAHAHAHA! But you're a girl! And second, I never really believed in that stuff. She challeneged me to put my money where my mouth is, but in a sparring type session. I couldn't believe it. She was serious, so I said ok. She kept telling me to not go easy, to really go and take her down. We put on the protective gear they have there. So the first thing she does is spins on one foot and says "haaa!" and her foot came way up and karate kicked my face! THAT pissed me off. So I go to get at her and she goes "haaa!" and her right foot went straight forward and karate kicked my stomach. That hurt so I tried to do that same straight forward karate kick crap back at her stomach to give her a dose of that crap. But she knocked my foot down with her hand and smiled at me. While I thought of what to do next she spins on one foot "haaa!", then on her other foot "haaa!" more of those really high fancy karate kicks with both legs, karate kicks my face. I tried one last time, to rush her to get her down, but she turned on her foot and her other leg shot out and karate kicked me dead center in my chest. That was enough for me. I can't do sh** against her karate! Her flexibility on all those kicks was too much for me. I guess I was wrong about it. I did the best I could, but her karate kicks are too good. You do any of this stuff too? Can't do anything on girls if they know this stuff! I won't need muscle guys for bodyguards though. Just 2 girls that know karate. Her karate works on me!
