Female combat has been around probably ever since humanity came to existence. The first historical evidence of females being involved in wrestling comes from about  330 BC, in the shape of Etruscan bronze statues depicting such feminine combat. Women have been mentioned taking part in different forms of combat by various sources throughout history, however, our website will focus purely on wrestling and its variants for reasons detailed below.   If you are like the authors of this site, and you hate to see women bleed, their faces exhibiting signs of abuse or females being hurt in any shape or form, you will probably understand why we chose to feature the combat genres depicted on the pages of this website. We firmly believe that the majority of people – being genetically programmed this way - hate to see women exhibiting obvious signs of combat damage, and therefore fist fights and even boxing will be banished from the pages of this website. We generally hate blood and bruising, and we loathe it when violence resulting in such byproducts involves women.

  We do not condone any type of female fighting in which blows are allowed. An exception to this is professional wrestling in which open handed slaps are allowed by the rules, but – as we all know – all the blows, throws and slams taking place in a professional women’s wrestling match are orchestrated, with the combatants working as a team much rather than as opponents, towards the visual entertainment of the spectator.

  As far as we’re concerned, wrestling is the perfect form of combat for females. It is not aimed at causing lasting and visible damage, yet it conveys everything combat is about excellently. In wrestling, victory is a result of either a previously determined body-position (pin) or a verbal declaration of surrender (submission), neither of which is about destroying an opponent, but rather about defeating her within the framework of a civilized set of rules.

 With the above said in mind, here's a breakdown of the women's wresting genres we find exciting and entertaining:

   Professional ladies wrestling (or pro wrestling) – is the queen of all wrestling genres as far as we’re concerned. This highly visual form of sports entertainment is about image as much as it is about the in-ring acrobatics. It is always nice to see two females dressed to show that “I will beat you and look good doing it” engaging in a highly spectacular form of combat.

   Amateur or freestyle womens’ wrestling – is a fully competitive form of female wrestling which has recently found its way into the Olympics. Freestyle female wrestling is about scoring points on an opponent through the achievement of certain body positions and throws, and it generally lacks the visual appeal (achieved through costumes and combat styles) characteristic of professional ladies wrestling. It is nonetheless highly entertaining through the prism of realism it brings to the mat.

   Ladies’ Competitive mat wrestling  - matches are generally pin/submission style, fully competitive bouts. The attires that the ladies wear are not determined by the rules, which means such bouts will see a wide variety of outfits as well as nudity. Again – it’s a fully competitive purely wrestling genre we’re talking about.

more...

   Oil wrestling – often features skimpy attires and/or nudity. Oil wrestling matches can be fully competitive or semi competitive. The set of rules are generally the same as in the case of competitive mat wrestling.

   Mud, Shaving foam etc wrestling – these bouts take place in mud, shaving foam, soapy water, jello, and other such messy substances. Also known as messy wrestling, these matches often feature nudity and a pronounced fetish element. They’re often considered degrading by serious female competitors.

more...

   Pantyhose wrestling – is a genre where a fetish element dominates. In pantyhose wrestling matches, the competitors are usually clad in pantyhose only (possibly with panties over or under it), and wrestle according to pin-submission type rules. Pantyhose wrestling bouts are often semi competitive, spiced up with an erotic twist.

more...

   Catfighting – is a raw female combat genre, which doesn't quite require any kind of skills from the combatants. Catfight participants are usually attired in lingerie or in street-clothes.

more...

   Women's Catch Wrestling – also referred to as ladies' catch-as-catch-can, is a highly flexible wrestling style, which mostly works by pin/submission rules. As its name suggests, wresters enjoy a great deal of freedom in securing their holds (basically catching their opponents where they can), which means there's tons of room for creativity in this sport.

 All of the above named wrestling variants can be found in their naked forms (including pro wrestling – see Carmen Electra's NWWL), with the combatants wearing nothing or footwear only.
