Being a fan of female fighting means you quickly develop a little vocabulary in all sorts of languages. For example: The Italian for "Mud Wrestling" is "Lotta Nel Fango" Try googling it sometime.
This particular clip is from Italian Tv and since i can't speak Italian I have no idea of the context beyond what I can deduce..
1. This seems to be some sort of competition. Year seems to be 1980.
2. The participants are taking it seriously (although it may be a pro-style "Work")
3. There's some definite needle her. Nobody is rolling around and giggling.
4. The participants are hot, in shape and wearing sexy outfits. Nice.
This was a surprising find. Youtube user Victor Garmany uploaded an old home video from 1992 which has a whole load of Mud wrestling on it. Some of the matches are male v female if that's your thing. but the video lasts an hour so there's plenty of FvF action too.
There's a lot of mud wrestling clips on Youtube so it's unlikely I'm ever going to run out. The problem is finding clips that aren't
a. filmed with a potato,
b. putting the girls into a barbie sized paddling pool
c. the same damn clips reposted for the 531st time
d. all of the above
Luckily this clip is quite respectable and both girls are wearing suits that show off their marvellous buttcheeks. The annoying announcer is therefore worth putting up for.
Just a few photos of young women who decided to get their bikinis out and wrestle in mud. This is behaviour that should be encouraged wherever possible. Sources unknown, sadly.
Watching two young women rolling around in Mud is a universal attraction. How else do you explain the worldwide popularity. This clip is from some sort of Estonian summer sports festival and features two blondes in competition swimsuits having quite a competitive match.
Foreign TV seems a lot more interesting than British. Can you imagine something like this appearing on our screens? It's also worth noting that the girls involved are clearly not putting on a slip & giggle show but really going for it!
If you want to discover a whole new realm of female fight clips, here's a very simple tip for you. Go to Google Translate, enter "Mud wrestling" and run through a few different languages. Then search for whatever comes up.
The Russian for Mud Wrestling is " борьба в грязи". Here's a few clips I found.
A clip from a 1960s documentary called Mondo Freudo.
Two young women wrestle in unflattering underwear before a nightclub crowd. Catch this one quick because there's bare breasts on display and Youtube is funny about that kind of thing.
Webshots (RIP) used to be a great place to find pics of young women wrestling in assorted sticky things.
These pics are mostly from there and while watching professionals in action is fun, there's a certain charm in watching a couple of girls grappling in their back garden.
Youtube is a great source of female fight material but there is one drawback. Videos and entire channels can disappear overnight so a lot of great stuff gets lost.
This particular clip is one I saved shortly before it was consigned to oblivion and features mud-wrestling troupe The American Knockers showing off their moves.
A picture I've had sitting on my hard drive for years and I've never been able to identify where it's from.
Some sort of Jungle/Cave Girl movie I suppose.
There is a lot of mud wrestling videos on Youtube. Even if you filter out the ones reposted time and time again, there's still plenty of content to wade through. Some of it is more really good, some of it isn't.
So Lord Mccoy is here to give you budding Mud Wrestling (or oil, or pudding, or tapioca, whatever) film makers a few tips and pointers.
1. Lighting.
Get some. You could have Kate Upton and Abigail Ratchford fighting in your pit but if it's lit by somebody's cellphone, you're wasting my time, your time and their time.
If you're holding your event in a nightclub then there's even less excuse for badly lit action. You have lights.Point some at the damn ring.
2. Keep the crowd back Yes, I know all your frat buddies want to get a good look at the two hotties rolling around in the jello but make them stay out of the way of the camera. You want people to be able to see the fight, not the crowd.
3. Closer is better. There are people out there who will apparently film a mud fight from the other side of the field. I honestly can't see the point.
4. Picture quality.
It's 2015. There's no reason for anybody to be filming in potato quality. Buy a decent camera.
5. Hold your camera the right way up.
Just so you know, if you post a video in vertical mode, like this:
Then I hope ninjas break into your house and steal everything you own.
If you post a video like this:
Then you should not be allowed to film anything ever again. It takes all of ten minutes to find and install cheap editing software and another ten to rotate your video. If you can't be bothered to do this, then I can't be bothered to watch your video.
6. Make the ring a decent size. You want the girls to be free to move. So putting them in a paddling pool designed for 5 year olds is just stupid.
This is good. Plenty of room to move and if you want to have a Battle Royal, you have the room to do so.
This is Ok
Seriously...why did you even bother?
The next few are all personal preferences. You may or may not agree with them.
7. Clothing.
Try and get your girls to wear something suitable. And by suitable I mean "Bikinis"
Swimsuits are acceptable. Underwear is OK, especially if it's thongs and if you somehow managed to talk two girls into wrestling topless then nobody is going to complain. But good luck getting that video to stay on Youtube.
What's not ok. Jeans. Shorts. Jean shorts. Baggy t-shirts. A full skirt and blouse combo.
I can't speak for anybody else but I if see one of the fighters wearing her work clothes into the ring then I click on to the next vid. Let me demonstrate.
8. Make it competitive.
Nobody wants to see anybody get hurt in the ring but at the same time, two girls smearing mud on each others faces while giggling does not constitute "Mud wrestling."
There should be a winner, a loser and some definite effort involved. Something like this:
Now get out there and make some videos. Best of luck
Webshots used to be a great source of wrestling pics. In this collection, a group of bikini clad young ladies have fun grappling in a pit of muddy water.
