I probably should clarify or go back and better write that post. I was talking in terms of average generalizations. Though I'm not familiar with the female fighter that you cite, there are some rare exceptions. However, at the end of the day (and much like myself at 170), a smaller person is usually at a disadvantage. Especially if all other things are equal (skill level, etc). Thanks for linking to me.

As you stated we probably have different experiences with martial arts schools. About the head kick article. I'm surprised you didn't agree with me more on that as it's my understanding that Muay Thai kicking techniques are mostly to the shins/legs and torso, and considered to be the most brutal and fight effective. Look forward to reading your comments on grappleing vs standup martial arts. Thanks for linking to my posts. As you stated we probably have different experiences with martial arts schools.
