Male vs. Female Submission Wrestling

The day after the mixed MMA show, I heard that one of the guys who lost had challenged the female champ to a rematch at her gym. I headed over to watch. It was pretty cool. She's smaller than him, but equal if not better in skill. The did a lot of submission wrestling and some Russian sambo wrestling too. She's great with the flying arm bar, she just climbs up on him, flips him over and works on his arm till he can't take it anymore and admits defeat. A couple times he picked her up and tried to show off his strength my holding her above his head, but every time, she took control and slammed him right down on the mat and made him submit to her.


 

Some Photos of the Chinese Female Wrestlers

This is a photo a friend gave me from a wrestling tournament in China that was open to both male and female wrestlers. They didn't differentiate, they just let the best wrestler win. You can see below that in this weight class, only one guy placed. And he only came in third.






Here are a couple shots I took of one of the women's team members in her room after her victory over one of the members of the men's team.


The next day they all went to the beach and she wouldn't let the guy she beat forget about it. She was kept making fun of him and rubbing it in that she beat him. On of his friends got kind of pissed and told her to leave him alone, but he obviously didn't want to push it too far because he was afraid of her.
