I went to the first all female fight card in the US a year or so ago. Let me tell you that there are some women out there that some guys said that they don't want to go up against. This was a show that started here locally, but has spread. You might have heard of it, HOOKnSHOOT. They have a DVD that has thaose fights on it. It's called HOOKnSHOOT Revolution.

The fighters are
Ruth Mejia vs. Erica Montoya
Olga Bakalopoulas vs. Shannon Hooper
Jennifer Irons vs. Jessica Ross
Tanya Vlahac vs. Angela Wilson
Shelby Walker vs. Tara La Rosa
Angela Restad vs. Mayra Conde
Debi Purcell vs. Chris Van Fleet

Every once and awhile they will have a single womens match on their normal fight cards. I tell you girl that is just down right awesome is Judy Neff. She comes in with her fists a flying the after she knocks you on your keester she submits you.

I do not train on a regular basis anymore. I have sustained an injurey that has basically put me out of ever competing. At least not for a good while. I am located in Owensboro, KY but there aren't any schools here.

I got started by a guy that I met at a party that I was throwing. I happen to have a Grappling magazine laying around and he saw it, and asked if I did JJ. It happened that he was a Blue Belt under Rickson. He had trained in Louisville, KY (one of Rickson's schools) but had moved here. He trained me for about a year. I have also been to several senimars. My husband is also into BJJ, and MMA. He now trains five days a week in Evansville, IN. All together I have been fighting now for around six years. I get a lot of my training now through my hubby, we roll alot. I also go down to Atlanta, and train with someone there. If you want I can go into further details, but my hand is cramping, and my head is hurting for having to think.
