Excellent. Until you get a lick of the whip that is. I often wonder if they really use horse whips though. Cause those things (I ride) from what I have seen can cause great damge to the flesh.

I think ancient Chinese women warriors were able to compete more with Chinese men because martial arts give a physically weaker person a higher chance of success, and Chinese men were not much bigger than them.

There were Muslim women warriors even in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) some of them went into battle with him, and one even saved his life once.

She's not exactly a warrior, but I think she's well suited to the topic of this thread.

Thank you Xshayathiya - she's a modern Woman Warrior! Although she looks more like a racecar driver! I guess that still makes her some sort of woman warrior!

well you dont have to look very far to find woman warriors in these days.

many modern armys include woman in combat roles. here in israel we have many woman in combat. be it in fighter planes. the navy or the infantry. the law that says that every 18 year old is to be drafted into the army includes woman too.

though for some reason woman in the infantry are mostly positioned in light infantry units.
heck my ex girlfriend was a combat soldier.

Nichola Goddard served in Afghanistan where she was killed in action while scouting enemy positions for an artillery unit.
She fought bravely during the firefight & made it back to base alive but too wounded to live long & died a few hours later.

She was a Canadian soldier. I admire her dedication, strength, and honor in fighting for her country and I feel deeply indebted to her for her services, which, ultimately, resulted in the loss of her life. May she rest in peace!
