i was at a party the other night with my friend, a bunch of the guys there were talking about fighting (me and my friend are both girls in case you didn't get that, and we both know how to fight). anyway 3 of the guys (i don't even know who they were) got kinda cocky like they didn't think we could really fight, and we could tell that nothing we said was guna make them change their minds. so we both looked at each other and kinda half nodded. we fight each other so much just for the hell of it that we know each other's styles and we know how to go with it to make it look good, or go against it to win the fight. so i let her use her signature move first, which is a certain armbar. i didnt resist cuz i know how cool it looks to people watching to see this move. the got me on the ground with the armbar then let go and i got up and threw her. we both looked at the guys with huge grins on our faces and they were so shocked it was priceless. i love doing that to people. don't judge a book by it's cover you never know who can fight and who can't.

That is so true. Hehee I've done it to. In my experience its the people you least expect. I know some women who are just flat out vicous and because of that men twice their size wont screw with them. I think it has a lot to do with thier attitude to. When your confident That dissolves alot of hostility."sigh" Women really shouldnt be underestimated. You seem to have put them in their place. LOL

How old are you? It works real well when you go out to dinner with your friends too!?
Sorry I was 15 once too.

escape-OK, so you look like little WWF divas, so what? That's athletics and showmanship, but it's NOT fighting. There's a difference.

Escape...At least try to talk your way out..dont try to use your martial arts as a Way of getting out of situations first..you Said "dont judge its book by its cover" you dont know whether the people you try to intimidate have knowledge of Martial arts too...but you at least try to Get out by talking first...Fight = Last resort...as you cannot really 100% asure the other person will end up alive..

Three guys wanted to fight you and your friend and you're girls???

Is it normal in your country for guys to pick fights with girls?? Or were these guys exceptionaly brave?

WOW.....I gotta try that with man friend when somebody is trying to jump us in a street fight! I can picture it now. 10 hard core girls surrounding us with the intention of causing us physical harm (I'm a guy if you haven't notice). I suddenly roundhouse my friend and he see's it coming and acts like it hit him in the face and spinds his body around in mid air. The girls see that I now some kind of deadly martial arts and run for their lives...muhahaha muahahaha

lol!!

i'm sorry, but I think i missed something here. Why is everyone saying that the guys wanted to fight Escape, pr making fun of her story, when all she did was to play a little with her friend? (i wouldn't even call it "sparring")
It doens't seem too far-fectched for me. i think it's because everyone here is so used to hear about those incredible figthing stories (including a bunch of fake delusional ones) that we're taking Escape's story as another of those stories. Calm down guys!

No kidding, everyone is completely misunderstanding the post, and the original purpose of the thread.

At a party, some ppl were kind of doubting her and her friends fighting ability, because they were girls...hence "don't judge a book by its cover"

They demonstrated a couple simple moves and changed the guys minds with relative ease [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif[/IMG]

I've done that before, but never on a friend. Sometimes I have friends or ppl I know at parties that hear I do martial arts somehow at the party. Then they'll make a scene (half drunk) about how I probably can't fight. It's all done in a way that he doesn't want to fight me, its not that serious, just saying in a half-joking way like "yeah right, your training probably won't help if I punch you in the face" . If he really wants to know, and everyone's interested, I usually just put on a quick wrist of arm lock on him, hard enough so that he feels it, and they tend to give my training some credit.

Perhaps I should perform a routine with a friend incase I need to do some serious demos :P
