Brazilian Muay Thai: Jaqueline v Jessica

If you want some good scrapping then women's Muay Thai nearly always delivers. Personally I love it when the girls get into a clinch on the ropes because there's something downright vicious about it.

 This Brazilian fight between Jaqueline and Jessica Diaz is quite a brawl.

I made a poster

I was just toying around with Fotomix - a little gizmo that removes backgrounds - and managed to come up with a Foxy Boxing poster starring two all-time British Glamour legends.

 Admit it, you'd have paid good money to see this back in the day.

Old time catfight art

Watching two women battle it out is a pleasure that the Victorians seem to have been keen on too. This is a pair of illustrations from back in the day.

Female Wrestling From Vietnam

  Most places in the world have some sort of traditional wrestling and in nearly all of them you get at least some female participation. Even so, I was quite surprised to discover a delightful Youtube rabbit hole recently.
  As part of an annual festival some towns in Vietnam lay out a big mat and have a wrestling tourney.    Contestants seem to favour one-piece singlets and the bouts are fast paced, with some quite spectacular throws and reversals.  It doesn't hurt that many of the contestants are easy on the eyes.
