hi! im new at the forum and this is my first post. <br />
the thing is, ive been training muay thai for 2 months and a week and im usually the only girl in the class. so, after every sparring with guys, they tell me my kicks and punches are strong. i dont know many moves, just boxing hits and a few kicks. <br />
many of them before sparring tell me not to go easy on them and not to be afraid, but then they end up saying im strong. ive received this comment loads of times for the past month and from different trainees!<br />
when they tell me im hard when it comes to kicks and punches, does that mean im taking it a little too far or is it just a compliment?<br />

Hi, is it more problematic for women to get hit in the ab area? With the way women are built, can blows or pressure to the stomach area cause damage to the reproductive system?

Out of 13 students or so I am the only guy, with me and 3 guys and 4 girls  being beginners (one girl and 3 guys dropped out of the class). Usually Martial arts is more of a guy thing, but in my particular class the classes are less diverse than a yoga class. <br />
<br />
Did anybody else see martial arts classes where 2/3 were girls/women?<br />

Hi, what are some signs a woman is taking steroids? Is her being really strong a sign she is taking steroids? 
 
Also a general workout area is lacking, wouldnt be a bad idea since most martial artists lift/run I guess.
