V Catfight

Women wrestling comes from eastern Europe too. Some video productions features some aggressive fighting, helped by lower costs and the fact that many women over there still prefer to spend their free time training and practicing sports rather than going shopping. DWW‘s women are an example.

Here’s something different, a mud wrestling show from Ukraine. This is just a promo, so you see short sequences only, heavily edited. The girls are attractive and the setup is professional. The action is not what I really like to see. I’d call it “jump and fly”: the fighters are moving around too much, with plenty of jumps and throws. It’s not what you see in a competitive match, but it’s still nice to watch and it’s something that can appeal to big crowds, like disco shows or cable TV broadcasts.

Among the newer serials on TV,“Chuck” is probably the ones with the highest catfight density. Over the first season, Yvonne Strahovski (playing the character of Sarah Walker) can be seen fighting other women in four or five episodes.

The fighting style is usually fistfight-like. She plays an undercover spy and she’s supposed to be well trained in martial arts, so there’s no hairpulling here. The choreography is quite good, Yvonne is gorgeous and her foes are equally attractive and sexy.

Season One is available on Blu-ray too. Season Two is starting now, let’s see if the show writers are still inspired and the tradition continues !
