Around 2005- 2009 I did a fair bit of Aikido training, putting in 8 hours of class time a week. Each class was 1 hour partner work and 2nd hour mainly wooden weapon training with a partner. It was a lot of fun and the male to female ratio was about 50-50.

I started doing Choy-Li-Fut once upon a time. I was partnered with a small, frail looking blonde woman to practice blocking. By the end of the session, my arm was hurting really badly but she was totally unphazed. It turned out, she was already a kick-boxing black belt and was training to teach.
