Could my girlfriend really beat me (she says so)? She has a black belt in aikido and has done some taikwondo – but I’m much bigger and stronger? She's 100% feminine - could martial arts really work that well for a girl/woman?

it's possible. in a full-on brawl that lasts several minutes, her chances of coming out on top diminish, simply because you can probably do a lot of damage if you manage to land a punch. but she probably knows several ways to end the fight quickly (like attacking your knees, groin, and eyes), so if she is well-versed in these methods, and you don't know how to defend against them, your strength and size might not do too much good.
-
IF you are somewhat agile yourself, most likely not. If ou have no clue as to how to fight, yeah, you're toast.

It depends on how good both of you are. Technically, women are better at Aikido because their balance is lower and Aikido uses that. I know I wouldn't mess with a black belt in any martial arts. Theres a lot of motor memory there, even if she is small and doesn't have a man's strength. But, hey, try it! Its fun to playfight with your s/o. You'll end up rubbing up against each other, so you both win. ;)

Grow a pair and climb in the ring.

My question to you is "why do you care"? You're supposed to protect her,not beat her up! As to the topic: UGH!
-
Seems like you are a little worried she might
-
Yep, she will tear you a new one. Aikido is a horrible martial arts to fight against. Being bigger & stronger actually puts you at a disadvantage as it uses your own momentum & involves breaking bones, frequently.
-
Yeah, she's gonna kick your ass, pussy.
-
well yeah, good martial arts coaches teach you how to focus and channel your energy. It works for some and not for others, it all depends on how disciplined you are. Obviously it would be more difficult for someone of a small build to fight someone much larger then them, but it can be done. My friend hasnt done that much taikwando (probably bad spelling) and shes pretty small, but she managed to take down my male friend who is huge! and im not exhaggerating it, youve never seen a 17 year old like it. Hes a great rugby player and some of my other male friends cant take him down.

Aikido is basically a street-fighting version of jujitsu. If she knows enough to have a black belt, I'd say...yeah, she'd lay you out. Your strength and size would actually probably be a disadvantage as Aikido uses those things against you. Ask her to give you a demonstration; just try to lay a hand on her and watch how fast she puts you into the ground. Then get up and try it again. My money is on her.

if she knows enough to have a black belt i would say yes. It doesn’t matter the size of a person if you know martial arts you can take down anyone regardless of their size! , as they say the bigger they are the harder they fall!!!! You can hurt someone so bad with most martial arts that if you use it on someone in a public fight (not in the ring as such) you can get arrested for assault with a deadly weapon!
-
It is best not to test to see if she could really beat you or not. Let her keep assuming that she could beat you while you remain assured that she can't. Cater to each other's egos. If you were to agree to test and find out both of you might end up as loosers - no matter who wins the fight. Some things in life are best left unproven.

She will beat your ass....akidio is one of the most aggresive arts aswell. I am a blackbelt in taekwondo and I know I can take you down.. my boyfriend is a foot taller then I am and 2x my weight...the bigger they are the harder the fall my friend hahaha..test her out and see (safely)

She is your girl friend!! She won't beat you.

Who wins always has many deciding factors, so it depends ... Size and strength has very little significance against a superior skill, so one of the main deciding factors will be your skill compared to hers ... large and strong with no skill will absolutely guarantee her win, while large and strong with more skill than her will guarantee her loss ... Two of the five grand masters that I have had the honour of training with have been very small women. My current grande master is a tiny Japanese woman, only 4' 10" and 85 lbs., yet she is the fastest, most accurate, & deadliest person I have ever met ... although she can not even pick up a large sack of rice, she has no difficulty at all in tossing around 10 large attacking men at a time because she is able to use their forces against them ... .

Fights are too chaotic to make hard predictions. Assuming a "friendly match", size and strength matter A LOT, since you're not breaking fingers, gouging eyes, and what not. When it comes to lethal combat, skill and agression are more important. Most of important of all is fighting spirit. All of the skill and strength in the world won't help you if you are too afraid to use it. As a general rule, the best fighters are the ones who have no compulsion against hurting people. They can reach that agressive state and dehumanize their opponent enough to do what's really necessary to win the fight. Fighters win fights, not styles. If she's well-trained, experienced, agressive and willing to hurt you, then you're at a severe disadvantage. If she's timid by nature, then the advantage swings to you.

The problem with real life fight situations are that they end up realy close or on the ground. A man will overpower most women even a martial artist. Martial arts justs gives a women a chance, but can give them a false confidence, that can cost them there lives. A women that carries a gun is the best protected, she wont even have to use it most of the time, and it will scare the shit out of any man.

If she is really a black belt of course you don’t stand a chance against her. It doesn’t matter that you are bigger and stronger than her because it’s the technique and agility that matters. Basically: if you’d try to wrestle her, she’ll just throw you around. If you’d try to hit her you would never be able to land a punch, while she probably knows exactly where to strike to cause as much pain as possible with minimal force. Ask her to show you some moves and give you a little demonstration – but make sure she goes easy on you so you don’t get hurt (but if she is your girlfriend I’m sure she will be nice to you)!

In the softer styles of martial arts,( such as aikido, hapkido, and several styles of Japanese jujutsu) technique, timing, movement, and position are far more important than strength and size. If she's always in your 'dead spot' you are toast. Muscle memory is a major component in all martial arts. Determination also weighs heavily on the outcome of a fight. If you both face off for real? My money is on her.
-
She wont beat you because she will not do the things that will hurt you. If you're asking this question my concern is that you are the sort of person that lets their ego outweigh their consideration of others.
-
Honestly in a all out brawl, I don't think she can win but at the same time don't expect not to get and damage to yourself at all. If you can get her on the ground your safe theres nothing she could do unless she also did jit-justu lol, but why do you care? Male dominance?
