Private matches

Ok guys--some help here please. I am trying to find an opponent for a private (BF/HUSB in attendence only) submission wrestling match--this will be my first so I need to find someone who doesn't have 15 years of training on me. lol Why is it so hard to find another female(pro's excluded hahahaha) who wants a serious, aggressive, athletic competition? BTW, I am also open to strikes/kicks to the body. Rules negotiable. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks Very Happy

Interesting...

You'd have to find a location where the owner of the location is accepting of it. You'd probably both have to sign a waiver. You'd probably have to get a third person to make sure the rules are enforced and the match gets stopped appropriately (aka, referee). You might want a 4th person to record the match.

If it's someone you haven't met before, it'll probably be tough getting them to trust the situation [that the ref stops the match at the right time and enforces rules, etc..and trusting that you don't have a 15 fight record].

It'd be easier to get someone to go for a competative grappling match, I think.

Um, excuse me...BETH... this isn't a fetish wrestling hook up place, nor is it for apartment wrestling. I think you are in the wrong place. Someone please show this chic the door.

Well Tara--I am not looking for apartment wrestling nor fetish wrestling. I am looking for some people who want to wrestle hard. Many males look for private fights and no one ever accuses them of 'fetish fighting'! I am much older than you and your contemporaries so of course I cannot be realistically competitive with people such as yourself. I see nothing wrong with trying to find someone who is similar to myself who would like to get together for a hard match. I know you will fee free to correct me if I am wrong--but at least where I live there are not too many 40 something year old women who are into this type of activity. Thanks

I chatted with her on yahoo. She seems to legitimately want to have a competitive match with a female around her age. You can see on her yahoo profile that she is a she.

Tara made an oops.

Tara's just sick of all the chicks in this sport who try and be "respected" as a fighter yet go out and do "sexy" stuff to grab the guys attention. That's all. Tara had been working hard on trying to be respected as a female fighter and with all the other chicks that "flont" it makes it hard for her to get that respect. That's all. IM the same way actually.

So are you looking for someone to train hard with or jsut do one match and be done with it? If that's the case then enter in some tournaments.

Oh, I understand. There was a post on the fightergirls.com forum that had a link to some wannabe "female fight" event in Cali where the women were clueless on how to fight, and used "stage" names like bunny and cherry. I read what Erin Toughill and Tara LaRosa had to say in response to that website.

Still...Tara made an assumption. That is what I was pointing to.

I both can and can't understand why women choose to do those smile matches. I mean, I understand the money is probably good, but there are so many other ways to make money that don't diminish the respect of female fighters, and women in general. I don't get it. Is that really what they trained for? To roll around with some perverted man in an apartment?

Then again, I don't like strip clubs...so what do I know?

You are wrong. I know a lot of 40 something women that are into the sport of grappling and bjj. A lot of them compete on the tournament circuits. DC Maxwell is mid 50's and she is a black belt, who regularly goes to Brazil to train. Go join a martial arts class or academy. There are a lot of them in Texas. The way you worded things on the forum is characteristic of apartment wrestling. AND if you know anything about this forum, you will know that the people here are serious competitors, and fighters. You claim to not have very good or developed skills, well then, the people here would embarass you. This forum and website is not the place to solicit this type of match. If you want a hard match go train, there are plenty of women that do... even in their 40's.

Bullshit to the yahoo account. There is some chic floating around on yahoo useing Debi's pictures and part of her bio and claiming to be her. Yahoo, MSN, AOL, give me a break. I don't want to hear oh there's no one in my divisions, WOMENS MASTERS DIVISION. Go do a tournament.

I am so sick to DEATH of hearing all these womens excuses for everything! No one to train with, no one my weight, no one in my division, no fights, no shows... now ....no one my age? C'mon, give me a break! Sorry people, but I've had it!

Tanya Vlahac is 40 something, she grapples and fights MMA. Andrea Grishman is 40 something and she grapples, fights MMA, and does Muay Thai matches. There are plenty of 30 something's in it too. You're lazy! Go train, you'll get some damn good matches in just training. Take a friend with you, learn together. Then you can have little matches in front of your boyfriends and husbands all the time.

I'm telling you though, this is fetish shit your talking about. Private matches have no place on this forum IMO. Maybe I'm wrong, this is Debi Purcell's website, not mine, and I am not trying to speak for her. I think this thread needs to be taken down.

And to half of you guys on here... whatever, you're fetish people too.

Beth, I see from your profile that you are in Houston. If you are looking to grapple with other women, I know that Solis Martial Arts in Humble has women grapplers at different levels and sizes. Also, April 17th there is supposed to be a tournament down there; Smackdown in H-town. I would expect to see some of them competing there.

It DID initially look like you were soliciting a partner to make a fetish wrestling tape or something. But if that's not the case, then please consider looking into Alvis Solis' school (He's a great guy) or attending the tournament.

I don't see much of the point in a private match. You seem to want to compete, so why not do a tournament? Are you upset at the prospect of a crowd watching you?

Gee thanks Kit. I will check into that school for some possible practice partners--and Mr Solis for maybe some adjunct training. It is not feasible for me to go to that school for instruction due to where I live. I do train in both MMA and BJJ at a school here in Houston. I am the only female in my classes at this time. Believe it or not when I first started checking out schools here there were several who were very discouraging and seemed to try to steer females towards the 'fitness' and 'cardio' activities. I do plan on entering some tournaments--alot of travel is not too much of an option for me so of course I would like to find people to roll with who are at my level and a bit above my level in adddition to that. Rolling with classmates is all fine and dandy but you do learn their style after a while and everyone has their own 'stable' of techniques they like to employ. And I have no interest in rolling with someone who doesn't go all out. That does not help me improve my skills.
I certainly did not intend for my post to sound like some fetish thing. To be honest I don't even know what the heck apartment wrestling is--and don't want to.
But I do have one more thing to say--not all of us can attain the status of Debi, Tara , Erin, and others. Nor do all of us want to attain that level in the sport. That does not make one a poser in my opinion. Thanks. Very Happy

Good post.

How many guys are on here? I'm sure there are dozens of silent ones, but the ones the actually post? Like 6-8? There were more on the other site (fightergirls.com) but they got lost in the transition to this site.

I think some of the regulars gotta be legit in their interests here... Chad, Keith...

Anyway, I hope everyone here knows I don't fall into the 'fetish guy' category, thank u very much. F@k dat shi#

Kit I'm glad you have a bit more tact than I do. LOL

I'm still not buyin it though. Anyone that trains would call up or email the other schools near them and would make time, or ask if the other females would be interested in coming to your school once in a while. Most people are very obliging in this sport when it comes to training, especially women. They all seem to really enjoy training together once in a while.

Your wording and demands are a dead giveaway.
