Glad you countered his bullshit, good for shutting him down. Anyone with a brain will see it.
This attitude that men take to completely dismiss women by telling us our fears are invalid, especially when shown evidence of true reason for our fears, makes me sick. My stomach is tight from reading his responses, literally.
I was just thinking of this when I was brushing my teeth this morning, the valid fear we have of deranged men. Going somewhere and having to keep in the back of your mind to watch out.
The other night in my karate class (live online so it’s been teens and I’ve been the only adult student), the instructor had everyone place their hands on their diaphragms and make the kiai, to feel the yell etc. I’ve never liked the kiai, it doesn’t make sense to me in an actual fight.
The instructor went on to say that yelling at the opponent is a scare tactic. I disagree. With men, it makes them either more aggressive (with men) and especially with women, they never take us seriously in words. So, if they are attacking a woman, does one really think a battle yell is going to scare him?
Hahahahahah No.
This is why I’ve been bringing up they need to have women put in feedback. Just you know, life experience of encountering men that think because they go for you, you MUST accept. I’ve been called a bitch, a lesbian, you name it for rejecting some strange man’s advances.

Strangers like targeting meek people that won't put up a fight, so the loud yelling could help in theory in attracting attention if there are people around, but I agree this makes no sense if you intend to fight off an attacker.

Oh, I’ve seen that test and that was an awesome capoeira kick, and that roundhouse wasn’t too shabby. Haha
Love MMA and the yells there yeah, submission or to pump themselves up, and in the case of Barber-Modafferi, Barber’s knee getting torn up.
I agree about karate, I find kickboxing way more effective and the lady instructor the sharpest and toughest one. She teaches some real self defense alongside that, including ground work and traps. But for the young girls, they don’t take the kickboxing class so those real life scenarios self defense tactics could be added. I actually emailed about it, after my post, and the Senior Master assured me they would add it starting next week. I know as a young girl, I would have appreciated knowing that stuff.
I was also taking MMA classes, love the ground work and more intense sparring, but for now the pandemic ruined that!
I will check out that fight scene, capoeira has looked interesting to me and I find the history behind it fascinating.
Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy chatting about martial arts, combat sports. 🤜
