Greetings all,
I am Jolie Voltaire, leader of the Doom Maidens, female wrestlers from NYC. I stumbled across this tribe via my colleague Vetiver.
I notice that there haven't been many posts in quite some time, save for Vetiver's posting on Grappler's Quest. I was browsing through some of the older posts and noticed a mention about Renzo Gracie's here in NYC. I happen to be a student there. It is quite an excellent academy, the training is serious, and the environment is very friendly. I do gi training there. I am frequently one of 2-3 females in a class of 20-25 students. I have no problem with that, and I love to train with males. However, the academy does have a separate women-only clas that tends to be smaller (10 people?). I have never been to that class, so I can't say too much about it.
I also train my Doom Maiden girls in submission grappling (no gi). Our trainings vary from fem vs fem to mixed, depending on who shows up for training day.
I also wrestle professionally (not "pro-wrestling" like WWE) and do perform wrestling shows. Either my male partner and I will go at it full tilt, or my girls and I will perform an often-silly wrestling-based show for entertainment of NYC nightlifers.
Anyway, I'll throw some links out here:
