I've sparred with women who fought like beasts, but they were the minority. I'm also not trying to brag about beating that particular one. I'm just pointing out that men are typically stronger than women, which isnwhy the woman MMA fighter got beat by the male pretending to be a woman.
I know there are some women that can. The women I've known in dojos would always do things like stomp their heels into the arch of a foot or fake a knee to the balls to throw off your stance. When called on it they would act like they were trying to be funny.
Most of the dojos I've trained in allowed both of those moves.
:-)
The acting like they didn't mean it aspect is also too damn common.
I remember watching a video of a radio DJ, a somewhat scrawny but close to average build guy, arm wrestling a female body builder. He won and she was very obviously trying as hard as she could.
The strongest women are weaker than average men
