MMA, TKD, Judo, Boxing, Karate, Sambo, BJJ, Wrestling, Muay Thai. Just to name a few.
Many martial arts compete, but not all of them, unlike what the last poster claims.
No one would compete, and if they did, there would likely be public outrage. I'm sure many women competitors would like to see this happen, but no man would do it. Even if he was ok with hitting a woman, he would know that he stands to gain nothing from fighting a woman. If he wins, people will...
A black belt in TKD means absolutely nothing. Every parent I know enrolls their kids in TKD and they all have black belts. I saw an eight year old with a black belt yesterday. It means nothing. In all honesty it sounds like your training is absolute sh*t. I'm not trying to be a dick, but it...
