Re: Lady Aikido

I am only 5 ft tall? and when I first walked into my class, freaked out mainly because, was the only female, but all the males are so tall around the 6ft mark. First couple of lessons, was lucky to get away with a lot. But after that was just one of the boys.
I prefer doing aikido with really tall people mainly because, I find I can get them onto the ground a lot smoother. Unfortunately in a real fight, I will not have the luxury of choosing a persons height, therefore I feel more confident, because I have trained with men.
The boob thing, yeah, I do worry a bit, but if I get hurt, its my own fault, for not defending myself properly. And it does really hurt.
