Womens Martial Arts - Your Perfect Strategy Against Big Attackers

If you are a woman and want to improve your martial arts, then I have a great tip for you. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't catch on and help improve all women's martial arts. It really is a great strategy against big attackers.

Instead of discussing your strategy for fighting, let's talk about your strategy for ... learning. We can deal with specific tactics in another article, sometime soon.

For now, let's improve your women's martial arts learning strategy. Specifically, whom you model.

Biggest Error for Women in a Mixed Martial Arts Class

By mixed, I mean co-ed -- males and females in the class -- not a class of the style of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

Are you in such a class?

If so, do you do your best to imitate what everyone else, especially your seniors, are doing?

It's customary to watch those more advanced and to try to copy their movements, tactics, and strategies.

I think women should find a better model. They spend a lot of time mastering the same techniques that big, heavy males are practicing.

The Perfect Strategy for Women Martial Artists

So, women shouldn't imitate bruisers -- deducing that everything being equal, the more muscular will overpower using ... power techniques.

Don't try to overpower someone with power. Makes sense, right?

Instead, find a way to finesse your big competitors. And rather than looking to other women, I have a great suggestion....

Observe, study, analyze and imitate ... older martial artists! Look for martial arts who have been practitioners for a long time. FInd men and women who have lost some of their strength, stamina, and maybe some speed because of age.

The reason you are observing them is because, believe it or not, they still have what it takes. I see martial artists in their 60s and 70s who still beat martial artists in their athletic prime.

They aren't succeeding by overpowering their younger opponents.

They have learned efficiency, economy of motion, better timing, and other finesses.

As a woman, your best strategy is to learn the strategy of your golden-age martial artists.

Are you looking for a specific technique that is efficient, short, and to the point. Give your elbow strike a makeover. And learn a great martial-arts counter to those trying to elbow strike you.
