I grew up prim and proper, Barbara. Do most women who wrestle come from a tough background?
Actually, most combative women I know have never been in a street fight in their lives. Now, there are some who have. Some who grew up tough. And maybe the ones I know aren’t representative but I know some very very well known combative women. Most of them grew up without much violence in their lives. The fact is that street fighting is not necessarily preparation for wrestling or even rules catfighting. A street fight is an adventure in frenzied viciousness and there’s very little strategy involved. This is completely different. Just get the rules straight and agree to them. If you want to do it, you are going to do it NOW so the past has very little relevance. You’ll learn as you do it.
