    We tend to just put it down to sexual tension between the two of them. :)

    Anyway, now we have a few 'chicks' posting in the thread why not start talking about your experiences with TKD? Do you feel you get treated differently in the dojang because you're female? Are there more males than females in your dojang, and why do you think this is? Do you prefer to train with other women, or uh, "chicks"?

    I'm treated the same, my teachers don't hold back. I have recived many brusies and cuts form the boys, they want girls to learn the same and not feel left out they feel its important to give girls self defence and a chance to enjoy the competions.
    Also its fun fighting dudes they don't suddenly stop and go "Oh I'm sorry...didn't mean to" they just stop and go "You ok?...lets carry on!"

    LOL, ok well how about you answer the same questions then? I believe you're a fairly high ranking belt, do you feel being female changes the way others view/train with you?

    You're absolutely right.

    I learned that lesson as a young lad in the dojang. Stare too hard, and pay for it come sparring practice.

    Quick question for the TKD "chicks"...

    The female hips are different to male hips - being "child bearing" they are a subtly different shape. This will affect the basic movement of the hip joint and possibly have a knock on effect to the knee joint movement.

    My question is - do you approach kicking, specifically the coaching/teaching/instruction of kicking in a different manner with males and females?

    If so, what to you have to bear in mind when performing a kick? Do you point out and differences with students, or do you leave it out because you don't think it relevant?




    And also to the tkd "blokes/dudes/homeys"...

    As above ;)

    personally i dont think females need to learn kicks differently nor that they look that different. the only difference i've noticed with having wider hips is that women find it easier to piggy back!! hehe.

    there aren't many women in our club, and it's never bothered me. in fact i like it, as i've never been comfortable with girls who like to compete for looks and things like that. i hate girls who come to train with sexy tops and make up!

    thats another reason why i like tkd is that i never do myself up, so men don't really see me in that light and i can relax in front of guys without worrying about what i look like ect..and when a guy notices you for who you are rather than what u look like it's always a plus.

    i teach a class of mainly girls, but i think it's quite a good thing, because the girls i teach are young teenage girls. i think they would feel uncomfortable with men around and they would feel weaker ect..as they already have quite a complex about themselves!!

    we have one guy who trains but he is like the father figure! he's a BB which also helps because he's more like a teacher to them than a partner.

    The only difference I've noticed in my dojang between the sexes is that the females (and males under 16) are not expected to do knuckle press-up's. Although, as I've mentioned and discussed in another thread, there's no physical reason why women shouldn't do them. :)

    Hi Just another TKD lady checking in!!

    Looking at these posts Its encouraging to see the growing trend where women are starting to be treated as equals. When I first started training I must admit that a couple of gents did treat me differently, either they were afraid to hurt me or they were overly relaxed when sparring me . This is no reflection on my instructor as he has always treated me as an equal ! Its just the perception some gents still have. I have changed during the time I have trained and still even now newbies will come in and assume im just a small girl posing in a dobok , but the point is I don't care what there perception is , it is my training that matters and as long as I have the respect of my instructor then that is of paramount importance to me !
