As a smaller woman who has spared with a Marine, my advice?
RUN!!!!!
I'm a decent fighter (low belt), my husband has trained my (teacher) in pressure points and stuff like that.
Men hit HARD, it's not the same as being hit by a woman. Yeah, yeah....... in general. There are exceptions.
And it IS hard to remember that stuff when your in danger.
Training and experience certainly alter the outcome. In a bar fight with some 200 lb., out of shape boozer, I'll put my money on Ronda Rousey all day. But if it some housewife and mother who just took a 4 session self defense class, she is in trouble.
Hopefully they've all realized this in the last 3.5 years since the thread was posted in.
But seriously though, you think he should drop his girlfriend because she can fight better than him and that means she's too good for him?
Ummm, okay.
I am not being a troll, I know it may be less likely for OP to return but my suggestion for him is to leave that woman if he has such doubts. Clearly; she is too much for him. It is too late for him to be a man worthy of her, he should just leave her. Who knows if they are married now, hope not.

Such fetishization of something like this indicates something is wrong. To quote Dr. Chris A. Moreno:
Quote:
My take on female martial artists/bodybuilders/athletes is that they do not want male partners who are like them; as they desire to be the center of attention and prefer to search for weak men as partners so they do not stand above them or are simply straight out lesbians in denial. I have had many cases where these female athletes find male athletes "narcissistic," when them theysleves are. They want to be the ones to stand out for their martial arts or muscles above weaker males, something they cannot do with males with similar profiles as them. Heck, they can´t even stand other female martial artists/bodybuilders for envy and whatnot. It's the attitudes mostly.

The quote - whether real or invented - if clearly utter guff however. Presuming to invent motivations for people for a start - and then presuming to declare that if one gender does something they have one set of motivations - and if the other gender does _the same thing_ they must have a different set of motivations.
People pursue things as an ends in themselves - there is no need to invent narcissistic or homosexual motivations for it. Let alone to explain it in one gender - and not the other.
