On the question of whether the video of the Indian woman beating the bigger guy in wrestling was real: The impression I got was it was neither a real fight nor a thrown one, but a demonstration. Maybe I would have gotten a different impression if I understood the language.

At any rate, wrestling matches of this sort between males and females in India are apparently real. Here are some examples from youtube. I don't know how common they are. I wonder if anybody else here knows anything about them. In most, but not all, of the matches I've seen, the woman seems to have a weight advantage.

Sheehan, there is also the Greek mythological legend of Atalanta who was a famous hunter and wrestler and defeated many men, including Peleus.

about Atlanta a woman who could out wrestle and out run any man. While she never lost a wrestling match against anyone male or female she just lost one foot race to her ultimate husband who cheated in order to beat her.
She is suppossed to be abandoned in the forest as her father wanted a male heir to his throne, and was raised by wolves. She had won wrestling tourneys where other then other renowned wrestlers she also wrestled and beat Peleus, the father of Achilles the Trojan War hero. Peleus learnt from his fight and defeat at the hand of a women to ultimately win the hand of the goddess Thetis by defeating her in a wrestling match.

Atlanta also challenged and won many running contests against her unfortunate suitors. The challenge was that if the male loses the race against her he will forfeit his life and if they win they will have as queen and her kingdom. Many lost their life till a man called Hippomenes was able to defeat her by the help of gods.

I have included some vase paintings of some of the important events of her life.

As this forum contains members from different countries, would love to hear more legends/stories about women wrestling/defeating men, from all over the world



Do you have the story could you post it? I would be interested to know how Peleus dealth with being the first man in western history to be beatn by a woman in a test of strength.

I first read about Atalanta in a book on Greek mythology. I think the author was Edith Hamilton. I haven't found much anywhere else.
