Can Women Really Handle Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

On an interesting note, I have found that when I role with Women and Adolescents I try and not go "easy" or be particularly genital with them.
They in turn tend to really enjoy rolling with me. As though they actually feel like they are being treated like just another person in the gym.

If I errantly place my hand on your boob if I am doing say something like a spinning armbar I will apologize for it in the same way if I nick my partners nuts. Truth is most sane women can tell the difference between someone doing something to sexual or not.

I think the fact I don't go to great pains to treat them different on the mat helps a lot.

**** whats the point of them even being there if they don't want to deal with a bigger stronger attacker?

Just to be clear, I was mostly trying to poke fun at how he points out what a great environment for females his gym is in every other sentence.

It is important that some of these women get pregnant but it is from their husbands or boyfriends. Obviously we are talking about respectable women and his pointing out that they were impregnated by their husband or boyfriend confirms he has no bias.

I think he was trying to make it clear that the women didn't get pregnant from Jiu-Jitsu. Pregnancy is certainly a risk one takes when stepping onto the mat, but most responsible men wear condoms when they do BJJ.
