I think this person said a woman can't kick a man without train. Which makes no sense, since she did have training.

I agree. I think in the movie she only had a month. Irl she would definitely need more than a month. But I think the training in the movie was meant to be more psycological. Like, I think Jupiter asked her if the dude taught her how to think.
shareFor a woman to whoop a douche like that guy, she'd need 5 months training in Krav Maga and at least earn a Yellow Belt in Karate.
If you don't eat this dead animal, I'll eat five!!
What the hell are you guys talking about? I don't remember any trains in this movie.
shareyou guys clearly have no idea about self defence..
you have no idea how long she trained in the movie.. or how many hours a day..
after ONE class, just 2 hours.. a woman i helped teach (5'2") broke the arm of the man who attacked her.. the police where shocked.. i wasnt.. she did what i showed her.. with CLEAR CALM MIND.. panic is what stops people from fighting back.
It doesn't seem unlikely to me that Slim could kick his ass on the training she had. I believe she was already smart and determined enough to take what she learned and use it to her full advantage in just a short time. Also, since she caught Mitch mostly off guard, probably the element of surprise on her side was enough to give her an edge over him. He was so sure she couldn't overpower him, he expended so much more of his own energy trying to beat her than actually protecting himself. I say, you go girl!
shareI don't think it is implausible at all. They don't really clarify how much time she spent training, but I think we can assume it was a few months. Also, at the end, she was very calm and cool with her planning and her moves, whereas Mitch was, at first, amused and then enraged. Oh, yes, OP, a woman can kick the HELL out of a man with the proper training.
shareYeah...that was the attitude that got Mitch killed.
Thing is, Mitch's only advantage was his strength. And raw untrained strength only gets you so far. As far as we know, his only experience with physical fighting was punching his wife. But Slim on the other hand had training, both physical and mental (anger and fear doesn't make you a good fighter) and the equivalent of brass knuckles on her hands. She also spent the day familiarizing herself with his environment, adjusting it so he couldn't get the drop on her. AND she also got rid of potential weapons that could be against her (knives, hammers, and the guns of course). Plus she had the element surprise. It's certainly plausible that she could whip his ass...especially if she was careful.
Mitch was probably a wimp. He is a bully who only fights people weaker than him. Notice he sends his goons after the men in Slim's life rather than face them himself.

Yeah...that was the attitude that got Mitch killed.Enough said!
Its possible for a woman to kick a man's ass! She just has to train and be careful and smart.
Slim trained for a short time, but likely she trained for hours a day. And like others mentioned, she also 'psyched' him out a bit which helped give her an advantage.

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
I agree that she should not have been able to beat him with such little training but I have been doing Krav Maga for years and I know of some women who would kick my ass in a couple minutes of a fight. Strength is important but technique and knowledge of fighting is so much more valuable. But the reality is that one strong punch is all he needed to win the fight and no matter how many hours you train 1-3 months or whatever is not enough. There is so much to learn, even black belts who trained 5+ years are still learning everyday.
And for the record half of krav maga is getting the intensity and bursting into strikes and techniques that she showed no understanding of.
