You'd think actual, practicing martial artists would know damn well how reality works out when you put men up against women.
Which probably suggests to me two things; either they're complete and utter LARPers in the worst way and don't really stress-test, women are so rare in thier hobby that it never gets put to the test, or they're just simping heavily.
It's a coin-flip either way, but I'd probably pick a combo of the last two.
Probably a combo of all three. They're probably mostly a gaggle of ren fair neckbeards who actively repel most women but will happily "m'lady" any who stick around.
They do. That's why there are countless age categories in tournaments and men and women have seperate events.
Edit: Here are the britbong fencing categories for example: https://www.britishfencing.com/gbr-fencing/age-group-definitions/
Yup. I've helped out in a number of tournaments. It's always interesting to see how the age/gender divide works out.
Hint: You really don't see many women participating in tournaments, even when they're allowed in as white-belts, locally. To get any appreciable number requires you to start pulling from all across the country.
I follow some lady sword accounts and they’re pretty much tai-chi type shit with the occasional choreographed “sparring” session or like cutting wood and shit. Martial arts is a real stretch imo… more like dancing
Lefty Lucy college town and less-than-stellar choice of fundamentals, two strikes. Third strike is the prominent link to the Code of Conduct on their home page... said document has scarcely a huwyte man in it, despite most of the website showing huwyte guise fighting.
