the new FightingStyle promo trailer

barry18 · Senior Member

Two American entrants, Sybil Starr and Lia LaBowe were the stars of that Greek tournament as they dominated all their opponents in real competitive action. Most of it was submission wrestling, but there were some catfights, too. I can't wait to see the complete videos from that match. And yes, I too am not affiliated with Fighting Style. I just love real competitive f v f action.

Are they not the company that put down every other fight site when they first opened? Saying they were number #1 even though it was their first week? I think they had the sack to down DWW and another great company (on their homepage) which helped them promote?

I suppose everyone makes mistakes in advertisements & in business. Its better when fans actually do some foot work for a company/site. They must be doing something right. Will have to check em out.

I've never read the adverticement from Fighting Style you are talking about. Could you please give me a link or another indice?

I do not remember any company which "helped them promote" either. Generally, I'd ask you to be more precise in your accusations.

I do not remember any negative advertising from Fighting Style. Femwin used to be associated with FS, but no longer is, I believe.

FS and Femwin have been working together on several projects but not in this year, as far as I know

You know what ...I think I did make a mistake. The site was called house of wrestling. My error. The site itself reminded me of that company. They might even use some of the same women?

What they did was about a month or so when they opened (not a week. I will be more prescise) they wrote on their frontpage that companies like DWW were down a massive % in memberships because of their new site. Basically boasting the wrong way. They also bashed another site ... I forget whom. And this was after DDW helped them with some behind the scenes stuff (I do believe) linked them etc.

Ofcourse now that I feel like an ass and named the wrong company I could be wrong about DWW helping them, but I remember this on barb's board many moons ago. It all clicked when everyone above was like "what the hell are you talking about".

Oh well. No blood no foul. I was wrong.

I've just asked the owner where such rumours might be rooted.

He explained there was a comical picture, a cartoon or something like that where a FICTIONAL character was reading a fictional financial newspaper with headlines like "DWW stocks are 2 points down"(not memberships, not massive and not because of the site's opening). When this innocent joke caused a wave of anger(some people totally lack any sense of humour) the pic was immediately removed.

P.S. I have no info of DWW helping FightingStyle in whatever way.

Oh ok then I was right and you say you got it directly from the source. Doesn't matter if it was meant to be innocent or comical. The bottom line is people, other companies didn't find the humor funny. And lots remember.

I attended the Fighting Style event in Greece, and Sybil and Lia were certainly the stars of the show. Some excellent performances by some of the other girls as well.

However, just one small correction to the post by Barry18. In fact there was more catfighting than submission wrestling. As the unofficial record keeper for the event there were 25 submission wrestling matches out of a total of 58 matches.

Thanks for the correction Ian. I do know that 5 of the 6 matches Sybil had in Greece were submission grappling with the other being a catfight. It is interesting though that catfights did outnumber the grappling contests. Perhaps this is due to the fact that many of the women were not as skilled as some previous competitors like Nandia and Jenny. It generally takes less wrestling skill to be in a catfight as compared to a submissions match.

"It generally takes less wrestling skill to be in a catfight as compared to a submissions match". Interesting observation, Barry, but I do not 100% agree . Unlike USA where mostly trained and skilled women compete in grappling, there is an entire genre in Europe which could be called "next-door girls wrestling". DWW, ASfilms, FightingStyle offer a lot of specimen of this genre.

Also it depends on what do you mean by "catfights". For me catfight is a version of so called "mixed fighting" where you must know not only wrestling technic, bt striking technic as well

I tried to post a list of matches from Greece '06, but the formatting went all haywire. I pasted it into the message from an excel document. Anyone got any ideas as to how I can post it successfully??

Atta boy, Big B, and thanks very much. That was much better.

(Ian, bud, see if you can flesh out the problem here or here.)

panoskl2003 · Newbie

Fighting Style, thank you very much for the great site and even more... a very big thanks for the genuine competitive matches you offer us (submission or catfighting). My dream was to see my wife fighting against one of your girls and that dream came true. The girls I witnessed in the 2006 event in Greece were very talented (Lia and Sybil were the best wrestlers and very special ladies) but it was also very difficult to compete even against a newcomer and unfortunately my wife knows this better.

FS keep working...

Thanks Barry,

When i posted the list on the Fs board I did exactly the same as I did here, with vastly different results, as you can see.

I will post the rest of the matches shortly.
