OK, Ilike where you're going with this story for the most part, but don't
think it's a good idea to make Ranma helpless in girl form.  I would think

Yeah right, a five-year old matrial artist that can beat anyone.  
Maybe a normal person, yes, but not a trained martial artist. (The 
broken bone part and also the helplessness are somewhat crutial to 
the plot of the story, sorry.)

that Ranma although a great deal weaker and though not used to the balance
of the female form would still know how to use leverage and momentum to
throw an opponent.  Also I think it might be intresting to see Ranma without
his fear of cat's after all the fall in the mystic spring would have been
traumatic and possibly cause partial amnesia.  This could give Ranma access
to the cat-fist Aka the NEKO-KEN.  Other Techniques That don't rely on

I'll think about it, but don't expect too much.  I may have a lot of 
material, but not that much.

strength would also work and after all the years Ranma has spent on the road
he should have learned a few of these.  Such as the pressure point
techniques some of which are the nerve clusters just above the eyebrows

Okay, a five-year-old reaching up to the eyebrows of another person, 
when she can barely clear her own height.  Yeah right.

striking this location causes excruciating pain,disorientaion and can cause
tempoary blindness, the solar plexus which can knock the wind out of even
the hardiest person, and many many others after all the form his father
teachs say to use any advantage.

And how, pray tell, would she be able to get past the other person's 
defence?  It would take enormous luck, as well as a cheap-shot to 
pull that off in her current form.  While your criticisms have merit, 
they kind-of get in the way of plot advancement. (which was what I 
was looking for at the time, you find a better solution, and I'll try 
to incorporate it.)

      Stress Relief
   All stressed out?  Sometimes it helps to think
of happy scenes.  Maybe a pastoral field, a field
with a babbling brook.  You're there on a lovely
summer's day...holding someone's head under the 
water.  Now you're letting them up for a second.
Then blam!  Back into the freezing water!  Over
and over again!  There.  Feel better?
