No disrespect to you or your wife, but she must have a lame instructor.
I sold BJJ classes for the Machados by having the wrestle girls. Had 3 female ringers that were only purple belts at the time.
Ryan Greg, who is co owner of OTM Fight gear, a current BJJ Black belt with a crap load of trophies and titles will disagree with your statements above. I personally trained him and got him started in BJJ 12 years ago, will tell you himself that i put him and all people who doubted bjj and were interested in the intro classes, to train with a girl and an 12 year old boy.
Both whooped his and all comers asses. Ryan got both arms cracked and he got choked almost unconscious. He did not want to tap out and was in serious disbeilif on what was happening to him by this girl and boy. This guy was 170lbs and a good street fighter (so he said) and wrestled in high school a bit.
The girl that whooped him good was Cathy Brothers and he will admit to it. He is not ashamed of it at all. But it was the true technicality of BJJ the whooped him, not necessarily a girl.
Lastly my close friend Glen Chang, who is a purple belt(135lbs) in BJJ gets tapped out 4 out of 5 times by his wife Jocelyn Chang who is a legit black belt in BJJ (90lbs).
And finally; I may have trained way longer than Anthony in BJJ, but even i have to admit that he knows way more than i do on what is really what when it comes to BJJ and MMA than i do.
He is the true BJJ and MMA Knowledge 3 strip Black belt.
