We have several high ranking female Sensei at my dojo. They are very good at teaching and very thorough with techniques. Honestly, without them we would not have a dojo. My art incorporates hard and soft style arts and at the risk of sounding sexist, girls seem to be inherently good at soft style. I have noticed something the last few years and that is whenever any of the men spar or grapple with the girls that we try to treat them very gently. The women occasionally conclude sparring with telling us why they had been so dominate and the things we could have done better. Are we giving them a false sense of confidence? I know that it's not likely any of them will ever be attacked but the fact is, that if they do, it will most likely be by a male. Any thoughts?
