Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
I also think that Sheena, Warrior Amazon and Ariel X are as legitimate as athletes in "our world" than in this kind of competition. But it is of course great to see them proud of the achievement, even if they don't have anything to prove.

Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
Shannon used to win in tournaments. She met Kyla at a tournament and introduced her to session wrestling. Shannon placed 1st, Kyla 2nd.
Yasmin won a bunch of tournaments too, and Kathy Griffin did as well. But, it's very cool seeing 3 session wrestlers win at the same event. I've never seen that before. |

Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
I'd like to hear what our resident expert Anji has to say about this tournament and the performance of these ladies. I don't want to put her on the spot but she always seems to know what she's talking about and has the experience and belts to back it up.

(incorrect statement whited out). Oops. I heard a story once, a lady, long retired but quite good, got grief at a tournament for her session wrestling and after that she had her photo taken down but she continued to session wrestle for a while after that. She was only on the scene for about a year or two, at Tempest, probably not well known. I don't remember her name, but I wrestled her. Cute as could be and she had enough ju jitsu to beat me, but she didn't strike me as good as Shannon or Gianna or Kathy Griffin, but not far off. Last edited by LicensetoKill; 14-Feb-19 at 11:58. |

Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
We should remember that Sheena is a national and international judo champion, as well as a national freestyle wrestling champion. So she has competed and won on the "mainstream" stage previously.

Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
Actually the real athletes are probably here and session wrestlers, as that is their "career".... Most of the athletes have 9-5 jobs & such.

Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
Quote:
As a lifelong Martial Artist myself (since my teens I have practiced Shaolin, Wrestling, BodyBuilding, Aikido, Japanese Jujutsu, Wudang Tai Chi and now BJJ) it is my PERSONAL belief the art is for life, not to prove anything to anyone else but just because it becomes a passion and deeply rooted on who I am expressing myself as a human being, and after my body can't compete for any reason, I will still be active training and teaching. I admire a man I know personally, "Megaton" Dias (Mackenzie Dern father), he is over 50 and been competing all his adult life, every single year, even at World adult tournaments, every time I see him, we hug and I tell him he is a big inspiration to us that want to compete for life because it is always a fun and unending learning experience. Martial Arts and specially grappling takes a lifetime to Master and everyday there is something new to learn. @[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] "but I'd like to hear from her as well and maybe her thoughts on what the community thinks of session wrestling" I was part of a private facebook group with over 3k female BJJ members from all over the world, and the subject was brought up many times in discussions, always in a bad light, unfortunately it is still seen as, from members own words: "disgusting'' "gross" "sick" "perverted" etc. specially due to the fact that women in BJJ are more careful about any "sexual harassment" at the academies. Also, there are always "those" guys that have fake pages on FB/IG and try approaching BJJ ladies with personal messages, like: "can you please choke me" "I will love to roll with you and want to feel you squeeze me with your legs". In this era of the "me too" movement those things don't fly well. Also BJJ women see as "sexualization" of Martial Arts " the fact that some grapplers do sessions and feel it is wrong. The funny part for me is that sometimes I forget it still is a taboo and sometimes I catch guys at my academy in training with scissors chokes and tell them: "lucky you, some guys pay for this and here you are getting scissored for free" ! Fortunately, most just laugh and think is funny. Last edited by Anji; 14-Feb-19 at 19:48. |

Re: Ariel X , Sheena and more against "real" athetes
As far as I know, competing in BJJ or grappling tournaments is not one of Sheena's goals. She's a European Judo champion. She just happened to be in Vegas and I'm sure it was one of "why not?" moments. But, for someone who doesn't do regular BJJ or grappling training, she great.
Same goes for Ariel, she competed in bigger tournaments before. She has nothing to prove. |
