Odd question for females

[Shogun]

Ok this is gonna be an odd question but please bear with me.I know when females are struck in the chest there is a larger degree of pain than if a male is hit there......so my question is when you are sparring (in bogu) and you are struck in the chest area does it still hurt even though you are in protective gear?.......this question stems from being struck in the groin (while wearing a cup) and still having lots o' pain possibly from the vibration or impact....

I just want to know so the next time im sparring a female i wont have to hold back! OSU!!

P.S. im a male

Erm, in general I would say that for me, it doesn't overally hurt. I have fenced people who have tried to cut Do and have failed... and it can hurt then...

Personally, I have *ahem* a rather large chest *ahem* and I find that if people cut properly then it doesnt even come close. But sometimes people manage to get that area... and yeah it hurts then.

What about tsuki to the top of the do? I can't imagine why I"m getting involved w/ this thread

Learn to hit correctly instead. :P
And if I was a girl, I'd be disappointed if anyone went soft on me because of my gender. Going soft on someone because of level of skill, age or size is of course another matter.

I generaly tell females (before i spar them) im gonna go easy on em' becuase they are females,this usually makes the very angry thus clouding their focus......and so i have allready won on the mental battlefield.

I try to piss people off and anger them before matches.nothing is easyer than sparring a non-focused ball of anger.

Maybe this is why i am so hated by so many......usually a handshake after a match clears things up

P.S. Sorry bout the double post.

put it this way, if you do hit the chest area, and especially if they are tender because of the time of the month, your groin protector wont end up where you left it

i got tsuki'd in the collarbone t'other day, that was a bit owy-no bruise though, very disapointing

Thats just wrong. U dont have to say that. I train kendo for about 2 years and no one has sad something like this to me. I think if someone would, I would be really confused.

I had jigeiko with senseis, skilled kendokas, newbies, kids, boys and girls - they just adjusted to me. If u think so must go ease one some girls, just do it, dont tell them, but some girls just wanna be seen as equal.

To your original question - it hurts (very much), but missing the do or any other target is a part of kendo too.

That's a bit sad really...

This thread does seem to be in the '16 year old wants to talk about tits' catgory, but that's maybe just me being cynical...

Exactly my point.You would be confused and thus you concentration would be clouded.Must i remind you all of the saying "30 Ken,70 Kan"
