Team Artemis Women's Wrestling Tribe

2007-07-05T05:17:31Z

Team Artemis NYC would like to invite the members of this group to check out our new Women’s Wrestling Club Tribe.

We run a female-managed training meet that is open to all women interested in learning about safe wrestling and grappling. The grappling work starts from a base of Brazilian jiujutsu. We also welcome practitioners other grappling styles, such as judo and Korean wrestling, as well as Western freestyle wrestling. On special occasions, we are visited by high-level guest instructors who give a specific lesson in bjj or other groundfighting arts.

Folks with prior wrestling & grappling experience are encouraged to share their knowledge in a "physical round table" style.

The group will announce our training sessions, competitive meets, promotional activities, and encourage discussion of the grappling arts for competition, fitness, self-defence, and empowerment.

The URL for our tribe is http://tribes.tribe.net/teamartemis

You can also visit our website at http://www.artemisnyc.com/

Greetings from NYC wrestler

2007-02-23T12:52:50Z

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:

We'll get a concensus on htis thread and pick one. Some of you have some great shots in your albums, a new (to this tribe) photo featuring two women wrestling, cutting promos in front of eachother, or even training would be badass. Thanks!

WOMEN'S SUBMISSION STYLE WRESTLING CLASS in OAKLAND

2005-07-08T04:30:41Z

WOMEN'S SUBMISSION STYLE WRESTLING CLASS in OAKLAND
In January I posted a notice on the 'Women in the Martial Arts' tribe message board about a wrestling seminar I was conducting. Several women showed up for the training and I promised everyone in class that a regularly schedualed women's submission wrestling class was immanent. Unfortunately things didnt happen as I had planned. (Sigh)

I've been waiting and waiting for the chaos in my my life to sort of settle down before commiting myself to something like this, but you know what? Life just doesn't work that way. Screw it. Let's do the class anyway! That was a big part of the motivation behind starting the Academy in the first place darn it! To get more women involved with submission wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!!!

If those of you reading this havent attended any of my classes or seminars in the past, the thing about the way I teach the women's classes is that the focus is more on technical precision, getting a good work out, and above all, HAVING A GOOD TIME. 'Winning' is defined by everyone in class walking off the mat at the end of the training in a better state of mind and body than when they first arrived. I think of it as being more along the lines of 'Fitness Wrestling' rather than the kind of training geared towards competition or tournaments. If that's what you're looking for I can steer you into the regular classes once you get comfortable on the mat, but what I've found is that most women really just come to class to get a good work out and have fun. The fact that they can do this and also learn some self-defense skills as a side benefit is just an added bonus.

* This is a no-gi (no uniform), submission wrestling class for beginning, female, grappling students.

* All ages and fitness levels are welcome.

* Price: $150 per five week session.

* Date: Women's Class starts AUGUST 1st

* Times: Monday and Wednesday evenings from 8-10pm

For more information about our school, please visit our website at www.opendoorbjj.com

For more information about the art of submission wrestling or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu check out www.bjj.org .(Please feel free to check out my credentials while you're there!)

If anyone has questions, either send me a meesage here at tribe.net or write me directly at vonmott@gmail.com .

Thanks!

Okay look, whoever posted the photos of Valeria (the Brazilian)in the the gallery here, just for future reference, I don't MIND if you steal photos off of my membership website without permission.

Post my NAME or my WEBSITE URL, but just pirating photos without regard for the amount of WORK it took to set the shoot up in the first place is just really disrespectful. Thanks.

If you don't know about it yet, www.viragowrestling.com is a website with a lot of information about various aspects of Women's Submission Style Wrestling. The site has just been updated and there are some KILLER videos available for downloading as well. Some of the videos are fem/fem and some are of mixed wrestling (F vs. M) but all are super competitive and the wrestling is EXCELLENT.

Bay Area Women's Wrestling Class

2004-12-20T07:51:50Z

Here's the deal...My partner and I started this BJJ Academy about a year ago. For me it was a really, really important thing that I felt I needed to do. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the art I study, women are generally treated like second class citizens...and even the men are subjected to fairly constant physical and mental abuse so regularly it's not even considered abnormal. I always knew that it didnt HAVE to be that way, but until last year I really didnt know how I was going to get decent training if I wasn't willing to put up with the mysoginistic crap.

After having to deal with some ugliness that I wont go into...I scraped all the money I had together, and asked my boyfreind (a brownbelt at the time - a blackbelt now) if he would be willing to leave the Gracies and open an Academy with me instead. The Academy wouldn't be focused on taking really tough assholes and making them even tougher and meaner...it would be focused on teaching regular people how to live in the world without fear of physical intimidation.

I believe that everyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical aptitude, should be able to experience 'joyous aggression'. Every predatory mammal on the planet, cats, raccoons, bears, otters - they all wrestle with each other. Human beings also are naturally inclined to wrestle, but now this is usually only considered to be appropriate play for children to engage in...as adults our physical boundaries are such that that kind of close contact is only considered appropriate with those whom we have intimate relationships with. And that's really sad.

We have lost the ability to just allow ourselves to PLAY. The only times we allow ourselves to just enjoy being embodied is when we're eating, getting a massage, or having sex. We go to the gym because we HATE our body....not because we love it! That's why it's so hard to force yourself to go! Wrestling is the most intense physical workout there is, but because you're having so much fun and because you're so focused in the moment, you don't realize how hard your body is working until you collapse on the mat panting, laughing and drenched in sweat. While sports, dancing, and other martial arts forms can also all be considered physical play none give you the same experience of primal joy that wrestling does. None encourage you to to be stronger, more aggressive, more ferocious, more assertive, more fearless than you ever thought possible. For example: imagine wrestling a man who outweighs you by over 100 pounds, with him giving 100% in his attempt to get you to submit...and getting HIM to tap out instead. It takes a little while, but you CAN get there. And when you do it completely changes your feminine experience of being in the world. It changes HIS experience and understanding of the feminine as well.

And the very best thing is that in wrestling and BJJ, unlike other martial arts, the point of doing all of this is NOT to hurt your opponent! The object of a match is CONTROL....which why you can spar as hard as you want to, and still not be afraid. Injuring another wrestler is the same as loosing a match because what that means is that you lost control of both your body and your opponent's body as well. Because of this, so many things that we women have come to associate with the negative; aggression-competition-weight-close physical contact-sweat-gravity; are seen through a completely different mental filter. A 'fight' is no longer a 'FIGHT'...it's a game.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is generally considered to be the most effective/practical martial art there is (as the Ultimate Fighting Championships attest to) as if you know how to control an attacker on the ground you're pretty much guaranteed to have the upper hand in most fight type scenarios. That said, I don't call my classes 'women's self defense' because that presupposes that the woman is the 'victim' in any given scenario.

WHEN YOU CAN INTELLIGENTLY ASSESS A POTENTIALLY VIOLENT SITUATION FROM A POSITION OF POWER AND KNOWLEDGE YOU STOP BEING A 'VICTIM'. 'ATTACKERS' NO LONGER EXIST IN YOUR WORLD...ONLY 'OPPONENTS'.

Okay...I went off on a rant there...but what I wanted to say initially is that I WANT MORE WOMEN AT MY ACADEMY DARN IT!!!

And so...I'm proposing a WOMEN ONLY introductory submission wrestling workshop to take place on the afternoon of Saturday, January 8th at 3pm.

My goal isn't to make money with this, but to just get more women to come in and check out the school and possibly train with us on a regular basis. I'll probably ask for a $10 donation or something like that, but nothing major. If there's enough interest I'll be able to start up a regular women's grappling class which could meet a couple times a week at either our Oakland or El Cerrito Academy. And THAT is what I really am hoping to achieve!

Annnnyhoo-if anyone here is interested in checking out the workshop, or know of someone who might be-HELP ME GET THIS UP AND ROLLING WILL YA!?!?!? Pleeeeze? I've taught little mini-women's workshop type things over at UC Berkeley in the past, and the girls there has SO MUCH FUN that once I convinced them to start, getting everyone to STOP wrestling was even more difficult! I've won the US Open in BJJ twice, taken first at the Arnold Classic in both BJJ and Submission Wrestling, and beaten the World BJJ Champion in my weight division FOUR times (I couldn't get to Brazil and actually compete IN the World Championship tournament, which is why I can't claim the title); so what I'm getting at is that I AM qualified to teach and I do know my stuff when it comes to rolling around and getting sweaty ;-). Once again....this class is NOT about competing; it's about playing/having fun, getting a GREAT workout, and learning to not fear physical aggression...be it your own or someone else's.

To get more information, write me at: vonmott@hotmail.com

Hey guys,

Stumbled across this woman's live journal, who just happens to be a developemental talent at the WWE. Apparently, she's being trained by Ivory!

Interestingly enough, she used to wrestle for WOW (Women of Wrestling) This was a short lived federation in the 90's. It was started by the same person who is re-starting GLOW. (Gorgeous ladies of wrestling.)

Anyway, here's the link. Cut and paste if you have to.

Easily the best Wrestling, men or women's, of the early 1990s. I just watched a tape of the 1994 Tag League: The Best adn it was amazing. Aja Kong, Minami Toyota, the Inoues, all of them working their asses off. Every wrestler, regardless of gender, should watch these matches and learn how to put on a great match where everything makes sense and everyone looks like a star.
