Surely the 100lb woman should turn and run away very fast? I mean, even if she does defeat him does she really want to be slapped with assault or greivous bodily harm? Best to run to a populated area and start raving gibberish about rape and fire.

Perhaps instead of going to all these silly ( "grab his wrist and simply give a slight twist and he will magically fly over your back due to his greater body mass" ) classes she should have just been running laps.

It's too bad that the vast majority of women are slow as well.

Many martial arts places are big into handguns and firearm training - this is definitely a good thing, because a 250 lb guy whose ass you might not be able to kick is no match for your Desert Eagle
