That's f'ked up, jiu-fu. Did he hit her?

I've always tried to teach my gf's basic self-defense if they seem amiable to it. How to throw a punch (same mechanics as a boxer, but landing with the palm-heel), elbows, stomps, knees and some basic grappling escapes (bear hugs, head locks, mount).

I put the head gear, mouth guard in and gloves and let them land shots to see what it feels like to hit a solid target, so I've been hit on by a lot of ladies .

The most memorable was a 150-lb former powerlifter and softball player.

She hit harder than a lot of guys her size. After 2-rounds of taking some devastating shots, I decided to make her miss more shots in the 3rd round so I wouldn't get KO'd!
