Girl takes dude down and makes him tap out!

That is one of the hottest things I've ever seen. Yeah she can't beat someone say my size at 6 foot 240, but a girl that can handle herself and isn't afraid of getting physical. That's way hotter than any dainty little girl who doesn't want to break a nail.

I'm not shocked that a woman can do things better than a man. I am impressed when anyone can take down someone with 20-30kg on them.

Gender issues/politics aside, men are generally stronger than women. This is a biological fact.

Acting shocked when women do things better than men is the last bastion of misogyny.

They tied up and fell over together, it's not even like she shot a power double on him. If she had, being heavier only goes so far, especially when he has no idea how to defend. As for the RNC and the tap, size is irrelevant.

What we really have here is someone with some jiujitsu fundamentals submitting someone with no idea how to defend themselves.

I think it's awesome when women train in martial arts, but I also think it's ignorant to act surprised when they are good at it.

I agree that saying things like "wow, that's pretty good for a girl" is the height of ignorance.

OTOH, size is never irrelevant. Sorry, but between two evenly skilled fighters, the bigger one wins. Why do you think they have weight classes in UFC?

While someone with good technique can absolutely defeat someone bigger/stronger than them, you're fooling yourself if you think it's irrelevant.

And for the record, I train with women in martial arts pretty much daily. I know plenty that are half my size, but with excellent technique. Gender doesn't and shouldn't matter on the mat.

"Wow, that's pretty good for a girl" is the reason this video is in the top 10, hence my protest. Ask yourself this: If the woman in this video were a guy, would anyone care about it? IMO, the answer is a resounding "no". It's especially sad to see this in a progressive community like Videosift.

I agree that when everything else is equal, stronger wins. Of course, everything else is not equal in this video. The woman knows a bit about what she's doing, and the guy has no clue. While being stronger may help you escape from a RNC, you still have to do it. Your brain still needs blood to function no matter how strong you are.

I'm sure that's true for at least some sifters, but I voted for it because I enjoyed seeing a guy learn a lesson I had to learn when I was younger: Never assume you're better at something physical just because you're a guy and she's a woman.
