Hitting like a girl a myth?

[Drew]

Not since my wife got upset and beat me up...

Fixed that for ya.

[Edbear]

Perhaps you were just suggesting that you like to surround yourself with weak, submissive women.

I don't know any.

Fixed that for ya.

Shhhh! I have a rep to uphold!

[Madness]

Shhhh! I have a rep to uphold!

Rest easy Ed, you're doing that brilliantly.

[Katman]

In my weakened state I am still much stronger than all the women I know.

Edbear - keeping bitches in line since ages ago.

who knows what, or WHO for that matter he has under his house...

It has to be said, you two constantly bickering is like the KB version of the Jeremy Kyle show....

I'm easily amused.

[Edbear]

I'm easily amused.

Easily amused, abused and trolled...

Goodness! Who needs the MMA's catfights when we got you lot around?

Oh that's right, they're way better looking and bitch less.

Hey I was young, skinny and handsome once! Now I'm err... experienced...

A cool vid on whether or not a woman (trained properly) can hit like, or harder as it may be, than a man.

This is not about feminism either by the way, my interest is purely fitness and science related.

Hmmmm, that was very Interesting.

I was an amateur boxer as a youth and was able to extract enormous power from my body into my punches from either hand or direction for my size.

(No intention to skite here, just factually contributing to the post subject, something I have put a lot of training and thought into over time)

I always attributed this to my technique of engaging my whole body from the soles of my feet up and the timing of the deliveries.

I was a skinny kid and the power was quite surprising for my opponents and gave me a real buzz when they succumbed accordingly in response.

It's the same feeling as the perfectly executed golf shot or any other similar type of sporting action.

I was very pleased to see what I have always thought to be true being scientifically demonstrated as on that clip. Nice post 007XX.

But of course my punching power would be immediately nullified by your extreme feminine charm ... I remain etc, putty in your hands!

[sinfull]

I think her final comment is spot on.
'I don't want to say I punch like a man, I was to say I punch like a well co-ordinated athlete'

I think it was more along the lines of "kick your butt" !

Oh that's right, they're way better looking and bitch less.

But they're not breast feeding !!!!

You go feed your own breasts and let me feed mine!

There was never any doubt in my mind that women are physically at a disadvantage in a hand to hand fight with a man. Any woman who tries to argue this is deluded.

The question answered by this post ( and thank goodness some got it) was: can a woman, despite her diminutive physic, punch as hard as a man, given proper training?

I can relate to that to a certain extent. I am not what you would call built, or ripped. In fact, skinny and petite have always been the monotone description throughout my life.

However, I was always capable of lifting heavy things easily. One summer, I went haybaling up North, and matched the boys bales after bales all day. Or carrying a bag of 40kg concrete powder on my shoulder (while wearing high heels) and running a circuit in my in laws' backyard, covering over 200 metres ( don't ask).

No skitting, just facts.

Size is not always what it's about. But little boys don't get that, do they?
