“My own daughter was 5’4”, and could take down of man of 200+ pounds with her boot at his throat in a matter of seconds. “

You are dreaming.

My daughter is 5’2”. For a time, she was convinced being a Marine was proof she could take on any guy. Then one night in a party, she got upset with a 6’ Army soldier and challenged him to a fight. He picked her up and tossed her across the room with one arm, then laughed and said she was cute. She picked herself up, and decided it was a good thing he thought she was cute.

I’ve seen girls win wrestling matches against guys the same size. But you won’t see women in MMA fights against guys twice their size - or MEN in MMA fights against men twice their size.

As a 5’7” male, I’m smart enough not to go around boasting I could take out a 6’4” male. Not unless I knew something he didn’t, or caught him by surprise. And my 5’2” daughter is now married to a 6’ ex-Marine...and she wouldn’t pretend she could beat him up. I wouldn’t either...

Too many movies, and too many folks believing those movies.

I was not dreaming...saw it myself! It is not a matter of size, but of technique and surprise. She was protecting a friend. I could not believe what I was seeing. She was also a sharp shooter. By the way, most of what she learned was not while in the Navy, but before she ever went in.

I would NOT lie or even embellish the truth. She was quite a lady back then, Military Police, stationed for four years at Andrews Air Force Base during the Clinton years. She is now married to a gentleman that is blind, still carries a Glock, still quite fit, and very protective of her family. She is the son I always wanted.
