Just out of curiosity how do you (men) feel
about girls training in Jiu-Jitsu. I've been
doing it for a couple weeks and there's
only three other girls in my academy.
Also will I be able to compete aganist
men or only woman?

1Ok here's reality! Most of the posts above are silly!
The reality is a lot of people think just because they learn martial arts some how they can beat everyone up! The reality is martial arts only take you so far! Don't expect to grapple with a man who is bigger and stronger then you and expect to win! Especially if he trains in grappling too!
I remember when I first started BJJ. They matched me up with a women who was a purple belt and I was JUST a white belt! They thought somehow she would teach me a lesson on how effective BJJ is! I ended up destroying her! I dislocated her shoulder and knocked the wind out of her from when I slammed her into the mat then I applied a choke which injuried her trachea. They didn't know I wrestled SOME in high school.
My point is don't expect to much! Be humble and realistic! BJJ is not the movies! Also DON'T expect all men to take it easy on you. I only hurt her because she tried to act tough otherwise I would of took it easy!
I think EVERYONE should train in Jiu-Jitsu! It doesn't bother me if both sexes train in it! It only bothers me when people become unrealistic and cocky!

i came from a wrestling family when i did wrestle in high school there was some stigma, i also did jiu-jitsu on my off time my intent was to become in shape be able to defend myself, i have never once became cocky with it against a man because they are stronger peorid. but that does not mean with the correct technique ground grappling can be a females best friend. i feel also it is good to train with men for the fact when you step onto the mat with a female it could give you an advantage. like i said by the end of my senior year my teammates became real good buddies and they have always stuck of for me it becomes a bond not hate.

that is the most rediculous answer i have ever read!! do you feel proud that you dislocated her shoulder and winded her? do you feel bigger? tougher? stronger? ohhh what a real man you must be!! just because she's a purple belt and you were a white belt - big deal. where's your respect? when you're training, you're on the same team, it's not a comp. if she was going hard, relax and stay focussed, don't lose yourself inside your emotions. you've already lost if you start doing that. you're they're to assist each other, sure we get hurt sometimes, that's the nature of the game, but your attitude just highlights how 'unrealistic and cocky' you really are!

i second the comments made by black box. what kind of fool intentionally injures a training partner... let alone a female? you are lucky you did not get the shit beat out of you by the rest of the guys there. what a tough guy you must be... and how proud for beating up and hurting her.
From: NOAH THE BOA
did you say be humble? then why are you bragging about beating up a girl?
From: it's about the technique!
i figured somebody should probably actually answer the question:
a bjj tournament has men's and women's divisions. men and women don't fight each other in competition. competitions are also divided down by wieght classes and experience levels.
i have been training in bjj for four and a half years and i have to say that nobody likes a "stud" who comes into a class and tries to prove something. the guy who posted the first comment seems to be one of these guys. these guys have a little wrestling experience and way too much energy usually and are usually able to beat up on a lot of the less experiened students. they soon find that nobody will roll with them expect larger and much more advanced students. i have seen several of these guys come and go and they all have two things in common: they don't last long and they never actually learn any jiu-jitsu. they walk into the school with a little bit of wrestling experience and they leave the school still with a little bit of wrestling experience.
a good jiu-jitsu school is a training family. the worst thing you can do when you join is act in a way that shows you are not going to be a valuable member to the family. also, in any good jiu-jitsu school, women are just as welcome as men to join the family.
