   One of my sons has been training jiu jitsu since he was six, and started   
   competing from when he was 8 - at that age, there's no difference between   
   boys and girls and there'd often be mixed groups competing. As puberty   
   kicks in, that does of course start to change but I've been at   
   competitions and seen teenage girls absolutely beat the living daylights   
   out of teenage boys on the mats, and seen some of these teenage girls   
   compete in absolutes that include adults and they've beaten the hell out   
   of fully-grown men.... And from my own experience sparring casually at the   
   gym - I have had my arse handed to me by plenty of women. It comes down to   
   training - if a female has put the work in and is skilled, she's going to   
   be able to physically hold her own against many men and neutralise much of   
   any natural raw strength disadvantage she may be at.   
      
   So, going back to the comment upthread - there is nothing wrong with boys   
   and girls wrestling in school tournaments, imo.
