Kwahm vs. Jahn -- Asian Catfight Circuit

These matches between the reigning diva Jahn and her protege Kwahm were certainly among the highlights of my time in Bangkok. They were only supposed to have one match in panties, but it soon escalated into a second nude match during which many hard feelings were revealed.

Here Kwahm has managed to get on top of Jahn. Note how both ladies are wearing panties with full backs.

Jahn manages to bend Kwahm's legs and feet back, and all of a sudden Kwahm yells out her submission. It didn't look to me like it would hurt that much, but Kwahm was obviously furious with Jahn as soon as Jahn released the hold. Jahn looked like she couldn't have cared less, and this just pissed Kwahm off even more.

As I don't speak Thai, I didn't know what going on, but a couple of sponsors immediately offered a bonus for a nude match, one fall, right there. I later learned that Kwahm had been in a motorbike accident a few months ago (with Bangkok's horrific traffic, there are an army of motorbike taxis) and had hurt her left ankle. You can see a dark mark on her ankle in the picture, but I don't know if its just a shadow or a scar.

After a few moments to catch their breath, but not to calm down entirely, the girls removed their panties and got on their knees on the bed. This was quite different from the other nude matches I saw, which were preceeded by the girls warming up in the nude and taking advice from their sponsors. Kwahm is alot stronger than Jahn, while Jahn has the greatest desire to win amongst all of the girls I saw, plus some real wrestling skill to boot. Here Kwahm gets Jahn in a quick bearhug, but Jahn's balance is such that Kwahm can't get her down.

Although there wasn't much action, as the ladies struggled against one another on their knees, I could hear from their hard breathing that they were really going at. Then, all of a sudden, Jahn let out a yell. Just from the sound of it, I could tell that Kwahm was yanking on Jahn's nipples. There was no referee for this match, and Kwahm's dirty grip was a real departure for this usually demure young lady.

But Jahn, after escaping from Kwahm's nipple grip, turned around and planted her right fist into Kwahm's belly. Kwahm pitched forward and, as we see here, almost fell onto Jahn. That quick, short shot from Jahn must have really hurt, because Kwahm let herself get pinned right after this photo was taken. A great, albeit short, match that further cemented my admiration for Kwahm (even though she lost, I thought she looked great tussling in the nude).

Asian Catfight Circuit Photos

These photos are from my Yahoo! Group, Asian Catfight Circuit (the link is on the right hand column), and feature lovely young Thai ladies wrestling in a Bangkok hotel room. For those of you who are familiar with that group, you know that I can't show the ladies' faces in the interest of keeping their wrestling lives somewhat of a secret. So while I concede that this limitation really detracts from the potential power of the photos, I still think that there is enough for us to consider and enjoy.

In the above photo, we see Nam pulling on Peung's right hand, trying to throw the younger and slimmer lady off balance. I love the contrast between Peung's hand coming directly at the viewer and Nam's full panties being a bit wrinkled and not fitting tightly. The other contrasting elements in this photo are Nam's upright and solid form against Peung's twisted and slighter body.

One aspect of the Bangkok Hotel Room matches that surprised me was that the veteran ladies didn't wear g-strings for their topless matches -- only the ladies newer to the scene wore them. Over the course of watching a few matches, I began to understand that the veterans had a very good sense of how to make the most money from their efforts. If their sponsors wanted to see them in a g-string, or in a nude match, they would have to provide the appropriate incentive -- a bonus payment, of course. The new girls, like Peung, just wanted to get in as many matches as they could in order to earn the "match fee" and start to build their own little stable of sponsors. So they would always wear tiny g-strings and would get set up in matches against much more experienced girls whose sponsors wanted their favorites to have a few easy matches each session.

In terms of the above two photos, I just like to look at Peung's ass. Sometimes that's all a picture has to feature to make it a good lady wrestling photo.

A Favorite (one of many)

Another in the "BOW" series, and from one of my all-time favorite videos. The match, as I remember it, was very short and one-sided. The thin girl in the white panties totally overpowered her opponent, who I will call "Pla" (a common nickname for a Thai girl) for purposes of this discussion. Pla simply had an outrageous body, curves all over that were highlighted by the liberal application of oil and a deliciously skimpy g-string. Pla apparently had several supporters among her fellow wrestlers, and they loudly urged her not to submit. But, as you can see for yourself, she ultimately did give in. What I love is how her left hand is raised palm up towards the referee, just as many of the losers in the classic Theo Ehret photos. The referee is not helping the winner here, but is making sure that she isn't choking Pla (which perhaps explains why the other wrestlers were rooting for Pla -- perhaps they had suffered chokes in earlier matches). And there is no denying that Pla's face shows the pain of losing to this chin-grip submission hold.

Thai Ladies Wrestling

Like many red-blooded American guys (to distinguish ourselves from those with green blood, I suppose), I find Thai women attractive. So the combination of Thai girls and wrestling is right up my alley. Unfortunately, there are only a few matches available on video. These photos are from oil matches organized by a Japanese outfit and are part of the "BOW" series, which I presume stands for Bangkok Oil Wrestling. There is no mistaking the intensity on the faces of the ladies going at it above, and I particularly like how the lady on the bottom is not giving in so easily.
For reasons that are only partially self-explanatory, many Japanese producers favor matches decided not by pin or submission, but by the first to remove her opponent's panties. The buxom lady to the right demonstrates good defensive technique as she is simultaneously pulling her own panties up while maintaining a hold on her opponent's. With her opponent smartly pulling her right leg in to prevent her panties from being pulled off, she had better move quickly to get her opponent's panties off first. But most of all, I'm captured by the way that the ladies' stray hairs stick to their necks.
