45. There would be NO incentive for any man to fight her.

Everyone knows she's an excellent fighter, but if any man steps into the ring with her he has lost already. If he beats her, he'd be criticized for beating up on a woman and his fellow fighters would just say "oh, you beat a girl". If he lost, he'd never hear the end of it.
Of course, the right sized paycheck might change a mind.
I doubt Rhonda would push for an intergender fight either.

Akira Kurosawa's debut film was about Judo in 1943 called "Sanshiro Sugata" I suggest you watch it. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #31

As I recall Judo was a reaction to safeinOhio Mar 2015 #57

Funny you would bring that up, both movies revolve around the rivialries between our Judo hero and Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #58

I'd say her mom is quite proud... NavyDem Mar 2015 #6

DOCTOR AnnaMarie De Mars, at that! 7962 Mar 2015 #18

Her mother is a national judo champ trumad Mar 2015 #7

Then she should have been aware of the need for a giving the guy a mat and some coaching KittyWampus Mar 2015 #40

Indeed! (eom) CanSocDem Mar 2015 #43

It is on a mat. You can see the way it interlocks indie9197 Mar 2015 #55

Nice catch! Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #65

Yes, her mother is proud of her. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #11

DAMN!! You people are touchy today!!! OldRedneck Mar 2015 #47

Lolol...suffering from the crud sorry, I am very twitchy this morning between racking coughs. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #49

Seems to have been in "good fun" Adrahil Mar 2015 #8

I think he got a little carried away. Are_grits_groceries Mar 2015 #16

She never looked mad at all. She was laughing the whole time. Adrahil Mar 2015 #19

The stupid thing is... yuiyoshida Mar 2015 #9

Agree! Very stupid on his part. He shouldn't be asking for it if he doesn't know how to land. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #12

She is the stupid one & if he actually got hurt it was HER FAULT. KittyWampus Mar 2015 #32

See #35 Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #44

Lol! Totally funny. I've broken lots of things accidentally a number of times. It happens. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #10

I'm curious about the second fight, why does one person have two kendo sticks? Rex Mar 2015 #56

How the hell do they score something moving that fast? Blue_Tires Mar 2015 #60

I just reposted this at my Martial Arts facebook group and he's getting called all sort of names. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #13

Be careful who you insult and Are_grits_groceries Mar 2015 #14

Be careful who you ask to throw you if you don't know how to land. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #15

I think he really thought it wouldn't Are_grits_groceries Mar 2015 #17

Exactly! I broke ribs too. It's sheer hell to breathe afterwards. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #20

Thank you for posting it! I have the crud, it made me laugh over all the coughing Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #22

Wanna bet this ribs are NOT broken? Adrahil Mar 2015 #21

Maybe, still funny though either way. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #23

I agree. :) Adrahil Mar 2015 #25

Gee I wonder why he had a mouthpiece in? I can't believe A Simple Game Mar 2015 #30

Yep, I saw it. It was obvious it was staged and he thought he could take the fall on a hard floor. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #48

I'm sure he was sore but ratings are everything. She seemed to enjoy it though. n/t A Simple Game Mar 2015 #50

She let her arm at his ribs and dropped with him onto him, so the arm works like a sledgehammer... Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #51

Why? She's the idiot who toke someone down with no mat or coaching beforehand. KittyWampus Mar 2015 #34

Lol! He's the host. He planned it, guess he should have planned it better. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #35

He's the host who doesn't know about martial arts. I did Tai Chi back in the day- KittyWampus Mar 2015 #37

Guess he should be more knowledgeable about Martial Arts IF HE IS HOSTING A SHOW ABOUT MARTIAL ARTS Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #41

I would have at least hoped they talked this stunt through beforehand Blue_Tires Mar 2015 #62

He was wearing a mouth protector. So he thought he could take it obviously. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #64

LOL, you are so way off base it is silly! He asked for it. Whine much? nt Logical Mar 2015 #59

I'll be the first to post it shaayecanaan Mar 2015 #24

Very cool! Thank you! Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #26

She's said she thinks her chances are good against the lighter weight men in UFC too 7962 Mar 2015 #27

I am not familiar with UFC rules can she fight men then? I would love to see that. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #28

According To Joe Rogan, No ProfessorGAC Mar 2015 #33

Darn, would have been incredible to see. Thanks for the info Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #42

There would be NO incentive for any man to fight her. 7962 Mar 2015 #45

True, hadn't thought on that. Very good points. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #46

Lol from my MA FB group someone just posted after seeing this: Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #29

They were joking. It was set up. SHE IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. No mat, no coaching. KittyWampus Mar 2015 #36

See #35 Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #38

And as someone else pointed out it was on a mat. Katashi_itto Mar 2015 #66

Sweet malaise Mar 2015 #39
