Is she really stronger?

[iamtheman]

First apologize sincerely then fight her to see what happens. You were an asshole so its only fair. Please report back

I dont want to fight her!!! I made a mistake! I mentioned once I rather clean her shoes than apologize to her. Now she thinks it a funny idea to show that I am really sorry. I will never do that.

This is a lose/lose situation for you. Either SHE wins and you look like a wimp, or YOU win and you just beat up a girl.

Stupid.

Exactly right.

I'm pretty sure you're gonna get your ass kicked, BTW.

Take your lumps, bigmouth. lol.

No, seriously, you should simply apologize to her for making fun of her art. If she takes it with any seriousness, she won't pursue it. Violence in MA (which I don't think thai KB is, tho) is supposed to be a last resort. You could tell her this.

Otherwise, I suggest an open sparring round with a time limit. She will probably get a few good licks in, sounds like, and then everyone is happy.

Muay Thai is very much a martial art, and a damned good percussive art. Some arts discourage violence, some don't. My Sifu told me "Only use this if your life is in danger. Then I want you to leave maimed and dead bodies."

What makes you think so?

Interesting. My sensei distinguishes between sport and 'do', which is more like philosophy. Same comment about not fighting unless you have to, in which case you kill them. Ichi go, ichi e.

So, "man" (definitely not 'ip man', lol), try that argument. If you fail, well, she's just looking for a fight, so give her one. Good luck.

I tried a similar argument when I tried to get out of this situation. She told me for people like me its ok to get a beating :-(
I dont want to fight her. I dont want to get beaten up by a smaller girl :-(

Boxing (western) is also considered a martial art - a purely percussive one with legs being only used for defense (movement), but all the same, a trained boxer will kick the crap out of a brawler pretty predictably.

Martial Art merely means systematized combat training. How it's used is another matter. Sifu Lale refused to train anybody for tournament fighting. None of his students ever won a medal or a trophy. On the other hand, he would randomly attack with various weapons including naked blades, wait for and evaluate your defense, then step back, smile and say "see, it works." He also encouraged us to use objects that we commonly had in our hands as weapons. Taught me to use a coffee cup, pencil, lit cigarette, keys, etc. as weaponry, in addition to the spear/staff training I was doing.

BTW, I'm getting a distinct whiff of troll.
