Do you go easy on the female grapplers?

[Rorny Gracie]

I dont. At my Zhoozitsu school I tapped out this 15 yr old girl who was a TKD Grandmaster by a Rectum Crank Move. I did not hold back because she was a female and my instructor and Uncle Ransel Gracie told me that if I did I would not bare the Gracie name any longer. I felt great after my inspiring victory that I was promoted to Team Captain.

Nah, I treat them just like I do the guys. LOL!
There is absolutely no benefit to going easy on us girls.
It's a contact art and we knew (Well, most of us, anyway)
what we were getting into when we chose this lifestyle.
I do however take my partner's experience into consideration
and give them an appropriate challenge based on their skills.

Hi Rorny, welcome to the forum.

I just wondered who you are exactly, cos my Aunt; 'Lacy Gracie' has never heard of you before. As you would be aware if you were a genuine adopted member of the overly extended Gracie family, impersonating a 'Gracie' family member is a capital offence. Death by Capoeira I believe.

My condolences on your impending self bereavement.

Andy

Congratulations, you managed an inspiring victory over a 15 year old girl who's never trained in grappling before.

Easily pleased, aincha.

[Rorny Gracie]

Ladyhawk, Has any of the male grapplers caught a "woody" while grappling with you? and did you get offended by it?

I have this problem sometimes and I was bit{hslapped by one of our females while we were rolling and I felt really bad but I couldnt help it.

[Rorny Gracie]

Thanks for the pat on the back ckdstudent.
Yes she gave me a hell of a battle but I finally got her to tap. She is a second degree whitebelt in zhoozitsu also so she knows alot and was very experienced.

Hi Rorny,

While ladyhawk is too mature and sensible to take offence at your remarks, others might. We have a nice forum here, which hundreds of people enjoy. You could have been a welcomed part of that, but you are burning bridges fast. What do you hope to acheive by this? You'll be banned and your posts deleted in short order if you continue with this.

[Rorny Gracie]

Andy thanks for the welcome!

I am a Gracie. I am the son of Reffer Gracie and brother to Rose Gracie and Retardo Gracie. I am the nephew of the Late Great Brazilian Zhoozitsu Champion, Ronky Gracie who is Indianas Bjj Champion 32 yrs in a row. Never heard of Lacy Gracie but I believe I might be related somehow

[Rorny Gracie]

Im serious and I need some help with this. It was not directed as insult but for a womens feedback.Thanks for your input and caring so much about that post although I dont think I would get banned for asking for some advice would I?
:confused:

[ladyhawk]

Rorny,
Yes and no I'm not offended by it. Contact art, remember.
As a matter of fact if my partner is thinking with the wrong head
so to speak then he is definitely distracted and isn't properly focussed on his challenge and I WILL take advantage of it.

[Rorny Gracie]

Thanks for your reply ladyhawk!

[darlph]

Ladyhawk, you go girl!!!! I have a funny feeling that this must be some sort of joke. In the first couple of his communications, he can't even spell correctly. Then when he finds he's been banned........he can? What's up with that? Ain't worth the time and effort......
You know it's amazing the things that people do for attention, isn't it?

[ladyhawk]

Everyone has a purpose in life and his purpose is to serve
as a "bad example". I chalk up his antics to childishness
and inexperience.

[Melanie]

Thank God everyone is so forgiving on this forum :)

Going easy as in not being as rough yes, but I sure as heck wont let her get the best of me. When I was training in Brazilian jujitsu, we had one female in our training with us. Much older than me of course for I was like 17, and she was like almost 30.

[Jim]

Funny that a little pest like this actually posted a sensible question!

I go easy on everyone when they begin but as they get more experienced I 'up the ante'. This is the only real way to learn with the minimal amount of chance of hurting a beginner.

I don't consider there to be a difference between the sexes on the mat, only body types.

[Freeform]

My Judo 'Guru' (not the Instructor, another old school BB) used to try to fight me 'slightly above my own level', the moment I'd beat him pin/ippon/tap out he'd up his level of play so that I could 'see' the chance of me beating him, but very rarely getting there.

A good way to learn i think!

p.s These days we go at it hammer and tongs, he still beats me standing up but on the deck its a different matter ;)

[TkdWarrior]

Once the dust has settled then I know how hard to go in - I dont like to come in too hard on people I dont know regardless of sex.

Unless its a tournement or match!

As a person I would never hit a female so it is a personal thing for me as us guys are stronger and need to be aware of it. If she asks for an AS HARD AS YOU CAN - technique then she will get it - JUST PLEASED I HAVE NOT BEEN ASKED!

There are a lot of excellent females out there and I am in this to learn and teach not hurt girls - I will work at the pace that suits my opponent regardless of sex!

My answer is simple, "No".....a joint-lock by a guy or a girl hurts just the same, dont make a dogs-arse difference what sex they are. Especially, with style like jujitsu where it's not about size or weight or sex, its about the technique.
