Female combat, in cinema and print, has been around for ages. Whether it was a short battle interjected into a monochrome Hollywood movie in the 1920’s, a grainy, sepia stag film played after midnights in shady theaters, or a leaflet crammed into a sticky, teenage magazine, there has always been a desire for more female combat.

Female Combat 101

A large majority of the public viewed female combat negatively, feeling women should behave with neat, tidy and proper mannerisms. This mindset involved controlling a perception of how a woman should present themselves, so there wasn't a lot of wiggle room to break the stereotype. Adversaries believed women engaged in various sorts of battle were demeaning and turned them into nameless objects of sexualized desire. It was labeled pornography, created to entertain a mostly male audience.

THE CURRENT ISSUE

  I have been a female wrestling fan for years. It has grown on a variety of platforms and has generated a prodigious fan base that varies in ages and sexes. As social media outlets have grown, female wrestling has become more accessible from startup companies around the world wanting to get in on the rage.

   But that train has derailed quite a bit, so here is where I believe the problem exists and you play a key role in the solution...

Female combat is running aground

on creativity and vision.

 

Wrestling companies (not all) feature women in old, recycled kinds of female battle. Whether the videos are filled with women using over exaggerated expressions and dramatic, drawn-out moves, the audience is growing bored. Often the same old-same old ripping of clothes, hair pulling, head bashing, spanking and throwing objects has already been dredged through the ages. To make the problem worse, the lack of enthusiasm behind and in front of the camera is also lagging. Throughout the growth of cinema, the entertainment business incorporated more female fighting into shows and movies, but again, chose to limit themselves with the same repetitive actions.

  When people hear the female battle, they often think of catfighting, which can be described like this; stomach churning, brutal, destructive, insulting, belittling, degrading, humiliating, and condescending.

  I must mention though there are still highly stimulating female wrestling sites to explore and support. There are sports like the WWE, MMA, the Olympics and various forms of martial arts where female athletes are multi-talented, respected individuals who exhibit exceptional athleticism in professional sports.

  Female wrestling, starting as early as high school now, has emerged as a recognized, competitive sport that’s not only for men. A growing number of enthusiasts are seeking more as forms of female battle continue to build momentum in visible and acceptable ways.

  I invite you to be a part of getting the train back on the tracks and awaken the skills you may not even realize you possess. I welcome you to jump on as together we make female wrestling...

The 50’s, 60’s & 70’s surfaced a real desire for female combat during an incredible growth period that had fans craving more. But again, it was limited to the places you could find it. A valuable and coveted 8mm tape might have surfaced here and there, but it was movie vaults of the rich who could afford a home film camera to create and explore the rare female wrestling sport.

CLASSY!

Let me stress so YOU don’t stress - no prior acting, wrestling or stage combat experience is needed! Being that it is a CLASSY style of battle, there will be no:

Catfighting - Nudity - Vulgar Language - Sexual Acts Like Tribbing or Grinding - Lesbian Activity - Hair Pulling - Biting - Clothes Ripping - Throwing Objects - Choking - Domination - Sadomasochism - Pornographic Insinuations
