Come on over *HERE* and ask that!how much was that?? 19.95 + tax?

Nah, it cost a lot more than that... monthly class fee, gi's, a *lot* of time and effort. I've sustained rib injuries three times since April- twice pretty bad, the third time not quite so severe but still ouchie. I am the tiniest person in the school. There are only two other female students above white belt here (one of them was promoted from white to blue the same night I was). I've been working really hard, though- sometimes putting in two classes a day.
Not that I care so much about belts and stripes, but it's really nice to have the positive feedback and validation that my grappling has improved a lot. The promotion was a total surprise, and I'm really excited about it.

No, NO, silly.... if you have the OFFICIAL white belt with the black bar on the end, you get white medical tape stripes. If you have a cheapie generic white belt with no bar on it, you get black electrical tape stripes. Don't you know ANYTHING?!?

women usually advance quicker at bjj because they are more relaxed they are supposed to be good to work with as well if your a guy because it teaches you not to use too much strength
however when your 6 foot two and 230 pounds and so are many of the other males at the gym its hard convincing the five three 110 pound woman to roll with you lol

As I said, I'm the tiniest person in the whole school, and the average sizing here tends to run toward "linebacker" so I have no choice.
If the female grappler is primarily sport-oriented, and there are enough people near her own weight class to work with, she may not see the point of working with the larger guys. The defense-oriented grapplers want a variety of opponents of different sizes.

Way to go Taryn!!! I'm closer to the 200 than the 110 and I always look for the bigger guys to go against...

Thanks!
I always feel like a chihuahua standing at the end of a row of pit bulls... it must look positively ridiculous. And now I'm a chihuahua standing in the MIDDLE of a row of pitbulls.

-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
