Insanely Jealous

Why, you might ask? Because the operator of Manila Fights has assembled a group of fine looking young Filipino ladies to wrestle for our benefit just wearing the smallest of bikinis, and occassionally topless. I'm sure arranging all of this is harder than it looks, but just for a moment let me dream about how wonderful it would be to have these ladies tussle for my benefit in a tropical paradise. I strongly suggest clicking on the photo to enlarge it.

A Spectacular Trailer

This trailer, for "The Lightweights Ordeal" by the sadly defunct Video Sports Limited, stands the test of time. The women are attractive, shapely and wrestle skillfully in minuscule g-strings. The trailer includes not only solid snippets of action, but also some behind the scenes footage of the ladies in the gym and smiling for the camera, as well as great before and after shots in the ring. An added bonus -- and a big one in my book -- is that the room was kept hot so the wrestlers develop a nice sheen of sweat as the matches continue.

From a technical perspective, I can't say enough good things about the way the matches were filmed. I'm a big fan of having ladies wrestle in a ring, even if they're not doing pro-style, because it allows the camera to shoot at "mat level" and also to look up at the ladies. To me, this is critical because simply looking down at the women on a mat is somewhat tiresome. Another smart element is that the background is all black, which allows the viewer to concentrate on the action and not wonder where all the empty chairs came from (as compared to some Japanese pro-style videos). Plus, having a female narrator -- GENIUS!!!

Terrence Young's "Amazons"

Although this blog refers to photos, I thought I would step into the 21st century and also post some favorite videos from DailyMotion (which doesn't seem to have the same hang-up with nudity as YouTube). The merits of this clip don't require analysis: beautiful, lightly oiled women wrestling nude on a rug with full scale B-movie effects. After all, when was the last time you saw someone go to the trouble to simulate flashes of lightning outside of the curtained windows?

ACC Illustrated -- The Unofficial Journal of the Asian Catfight Circuit

Tenri Rookie Invitational

Kirin Cup

The following posts are basically a flight of fancy in answer to the age old question of what would life be like if there was a competitive wrestling league in Asia. For convenience sake, it's referred to as the ACC (for Asian Catfight Circuit, of course, and you can check out the link to the related Yahoo group at your leisure). These posts suggest what the marketing materials for the various events, principally posters, would look like.

Differing Views on German Mat Club

In a recent thoughtful post on Female Fight Theater, the author shared his view on German Mat Club (GMC) videos:

"But the first picture I saw of a match in the raw has been from a fight from Beka, the producer from Germany, and that some time before the naked video. And I liked the pictures. So, I was anxious when I had the opportunity to watch for the first time a full video from Beka. I have to confess that I got disappointed. The fighters were nude, they were attractive if not stunning, they wanted victory, the fight was not scripted, but... it was boring! Maybe they lacked some viciousness, maybe it was the... boots! That caused me a strange impression: why those fully unclothed girls had to use shoes? To avoid a cold in the harsh German winter?

[video clip omitted]

Along the time, I had the opportunity of watching other Beka videos, like the ones below, shot in a gym, with no boots at all! But unfortunately the boredom was the same. [video clip omitted]"

I have no quarrel with the author's view and his posting inspired me to share a few of my thoughts as to the now defunct GMC. First off, I think it's interesting that we have both focused on the GMC having its nude lady wrestlers wear wrestling shoes. My previously posted thoughts on the subject show that there's a real diversity of views within our community:

"I discovered the German Mat Club early in my fascination with women's wrestling, and perhaps that's why I'm particularly partial to ladies wrestling nude or topless while wearing calf-high wrestling boots. The shoes not only protect the ladies' feet and toes, but their attire lends a seriousness of purpose to their efforts."

I will venture a guess that, for many of us, GMC was one of our earliest exposure to competitive and erotic female wrestling. The women were certainly not Southern California beautiful. But it was that they looked like the "girl next door" (so long as you lived in Bavaria, but that's just a quibble) while wrestling naked with an obvious desire to win is what captivated me. Here's a short clip of one of my favorites, Alexandra, going up against a heavier and more experienced Sandra. I didn't find the action boring (and still don't), and in particular I found Alexandra's intensity particularly enthralling.

A Recommendation

Recently, I've been checking out the blog Female Fight Theater and have been very impressed. The author is extremely knowledgeable and shares exerpts from his substantial video collection to illustrate interesting thoughts on our favorite shared topic. The blog is updated daily and includes a large library of clips that are rotated on a regular basis. It's well worth your time to check it out.

Rosemary Lorenz versus Annie Owens

Ok, the use of the term "versus" is a little much, given that the action in this Curtis Dupont film is far from real. But Rosemary versus Annie was featured in a magazine I bought a long time ago and was probably the first titfight that I saw. As my loyal readers may have deduced, I'm a big Rosemary fan and it's great to see her giving it to Annie's boobs in this set of photos. What is particularly delectable is Rose's technique as she focuses her attack on Annie's nipples, forcing Annie's boobs to stretch under the strain.
Rosemary shows Ms. Owens no mercy, continuing to attack Ms. Owens' nipples with a straightforward -- but obviously powerful -- lift and pull grip.
Ms. Lorenz keeps Annie off balance, switching to a nipple squeeze and pulling down on Annie's left boob.

Manila Fights -- Rhoan v. Kixx

It's great to see my favorite Filipino wrestler, Rhoan, on the mats once again. Although this photo is not as flattering as her previous one -- which made me think that she was a star in the making -- it's good to see that she's still willing to wrestle topless.
Rhoan's opponent, Kixx, looks to be in fighting form and, bless her soul, is willing to wrestle topless.
A lovely pre-match photo, with Kixx challenging the viewer and Rhoan letting us see her brilliant smile. Instead of getting the traditional posed "stare down," we seem to have interrupted a quiet moment between the two lady combatants. And once the action begins, Rhoan gets her less experienced opponent in a body scissors and puts on the pressure.

After the Match

The following video clip is a stunning example of how seriously the loser takes the loss and the graciousness of the winner. As an added benefit, the topless boxing match was held in a public venue and the victress plays to the vocal crowd. I know that this match was promoted by the forerunner of LGIS and any further information would be appreciated.

Uniform Prototype for World Cup Catfighting Championship, Part 3

The series of testing possible outfits for the World Cup Catfighting Championship continues. Previous reports as to this important endeavor can be found here and here.
I'm not a big fan of the "sparkly" briefs that Emma is wearing as Maia crushes her with a standard body scissors. Perhaps Emma's outfit would be more fitting for a match held at night, where the glitterly letters would shine under the lights.
As long-time readers of this blog know, Maia's principal strategy is to wrap her legs around her opponent and squeeze the bejeezus out of her opponent. As was the case in her match against Gaia, it seems to work against Emma as well.
In this second match, Artemis appears to be wearing the same outfit she wore previously in her match against Maia, although here she is wearing the top as well.
Sila, who is taking the brunt of the action, wears a neutral colored two-piece so that the test can solely focus on the Brazilian color combination against the blue mat on a bright day. The tests are not only to judge the outfits (here, we can see the bikini top won't work where the ladies will be required to cover their breasts), but to also determine technical issues, such as the best mat color and how to light and film the action.

Ingrid, Ingrid, Ingrid!!!

Meet Ingrid, one of the best catfighters on the European scene for the past decade. I'm completely smitted with her, and have written before about this wonderful photo from Ingrid's early days as she strikes a classic victory pose.
How could anyone resist such a champion, posing over her defeated foe with that lovely little half smile? Her foot planted firmly on her opponent's belly, Ingrid proudly raises her arm after emerging as the victrix of this hard fought nude woman versus woman battle. That she's not a natural blonde and her full breasts have a natural doop -- and this match took place when she was 19 years old -- only adds to her allure.
I

Ingrid took a few years off from the catfighting and wrestling scene, returning in her late twenties. She had obviously put on a few pounds but still had that competitive fire (not to mention the very obvious dye job). Her younger colleagues watch a true catfighter show how to humiliate an opponent with a schoolgirl pin. Ingrid's breasts certainly aren't as firm as they once were, but her opponent's anguished expression certainly show that she hadn't forgotten how to use her ass against her opponent's breasts.
Ingrid subsequently moved on to work for Foxycombat.com, and serves as their photographer as well.
And then, all of sudden, a totally new Ingrid appears. Firmer, fitter and (hard not to notice) very firm and uplifted breasts.
And we can see that Ingrid has had some help from the surgeon. If you click on the picture, you can really see the scars on the undersides of her breasts that then lead up to her nipples. I'm willing to bet she's also had some work done on her tummy and perhaps a bit of lipo on her neck and chin. If you look at her nose, it looks like the surgeon made some "improvements" there as well.
A big match was against Marlies, a wrestler/catfighter in Ingrid's mold. Younger, to be sure, with a nice, full figure and not a natural blonde. Was Ingrid ready to pass on the torch, or could she hold her own against a larger and younger opponent?
Ingrid is one the best at hairpulling, and Marlies finds out that being on top isn't necessarily an advantage against such an experienced catfighter.
Armed with years' of catfighting experience, Ingrid presses her bare foot against Marlies' face.

Grapevining her opponent's legs, Ingrid tries to wear her out.
And when Marlies proves too resilient, Ingrid resorts to the one of the best catfighting moves around -- the double breast squeeze.
But too can play at that game, and Marlies presses down hard on Ingrid's left breast. It looks like Ingrid is trying for a slap against Marlies' big right nipple.
Ingrid looks to be in trouble as that simple breast press is really getting to her.

But our darling is never out of it, and shows Marlies how to issue a catfightin bow and arrow -- pulling up on the hair instead of the arm.
Showing no mercy, Ingrid tortures her younger opponent with a double nipple pull.
But Marlies is made of out sterner stuff and somehow avoids getting submitted.
Finally Marlies wears Ingrid out, and gets the submission when Ingrid is just too tired to continue. No doubt that Ingrid still had the will to go on, but her fitness just can't be at the level of a woman eight years younger than her.
A tender moment as the torch is passed.
