Thread: Girlfriend challenge

From your measurements, I would assume you're quite thin ... there are a lot of women who are taller, stronger, weigh more without being fat, etc.
I could probably take you. If I were still at my physical best (5'9", 170lbs, very strong back then) I would leave out the "probably."
Could your 5'3" girlfriend take you? Maybe, maybe not. What does she weigh, how compact is her muscle structure, these sorts of questions will decide whether or not she could out-wrestle you. Moreover, has she had any wrestling training?
If you were 6'4" and 230 lbs, I would be less absolute. But I'm definitely sure there are women who could knock you down and keep you down.

Like any sport, it is dependent on one's physical giftedness/size, conditioning and technique. I could easily see a person smaller/lighter out-wrestling you if their conditioning and technique is sufficiently better.

Further, you would be amazed at what a person who has developed their "fast twitch" muscles can accomplish. Absolutely tremendous amounts of strength can be summoned quickly and would leave more than enough time to have you pinned to the ground with her holding you in place using a pressure point.

I would say yes definitely.

As a woman who is 5'4 124lbs and an ex-wrestler ... I kick my hubbies butt when we wrestle and he is 5'7 204lbs of pure muscle - he's also got jujitsu training (I've got a bit of karate, and we have both been rough 'n tumble type people). (Of course, he beats me when he starts using that and other techniques that I cannot defend against)

I do win (honest winning - he will not 'let' me win) probably 50% of the time we wrestle.
PLUS!!! Plus, it is a great way to get all hot and sweaty ... mmmmm rawr! Neked wrestling can be quite fun for a couple!

Baja makes an excellent point, and it is one that I use often - if a person knows the technique and they know the pressure points ... you will be amazed at how much a person can accomplish. It sure ticks my hubby off when I've got him pinned with my chin and (we can get downright beastly with each other but never go so far as to actually hurt) and a knee and he can't do a darn thing. Bwahahahahahaha!

You are all probably right. It is just my small mindedness. It would be really weird if a wife or gf could outwrestle a husband.

Also I know what you guys mean about being trained in a certain sport e.g. I know people who would kick my butt at a swimming race but if we ran then I would win easily.

I am glad this is not a combat sport forum, else this thread would have gone wild !!!!
Size does not matter between two people with the same technique and athleticism.
When one of the parameter is off balance then size starting playing in increasing proportion to the difference of combined factors of technique and athleticism

Against somebody taller, heavier, more athletic and with more technique, it would like competing against a child, with all due respect lol
