Life portraits painted across the human landscape from time to time speak to the importance and power of endurance and stamina.
This was on display intensely in the 2012 film, The Impossible.
The storyline was in December 2004, close-knit family Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand. But the day after Christmas, the idyllic holiday turns into an incomprehensible nightmare when a terrifying roar rises from the depths of the sea, followed by a wall of black water that devours everything in its path.
Film critic and New York Times writer A.O. Scott expands, “The Asian tsunami of Dec. 26, 2004, killed almost a quarter-million people in 14 countries. The scale and speed of the devastation defy comprehension, and no movie could be expected to convey the full measure of the horror. But disaster, real and imagined, is a staple of the modern cinematic imagination, and an event like the tsunami presents itself to an ambitious filmmaker as both a technical challenge and a moral risk.”
A film that is surpassing expectations in our competitive female submission wrestling industry is found in the video library of industry leader Fight Pulse.
It’s a match that defines the very essence of endurance and stamina.
The producers at Fight Pulse share, “This custom-request intense competitive female wrestling match between two lightweights, Jane and Pink Rose, is our first match with endurance rules.
Endurance rules are simple – two competitors wrestle until one of them either cannot continue or verbally surrenders the match due to exhaustion. There are no breaks in the action, and the entire match is shot in one take (no cuts in the video). Body scissors are prohibited to make the match a little bit more difficult, more dynamic and tiring, which is why all of the points in this match come from either a pin or a variation of head scissors. There is a monetary bonus for the win, as well as a bonus for 15+ submissions, to motivate the wrestlers not to stall the action once they get tired.
FW-47 is our longest video released to date. It runs 64 minutes, 48 of which is continuous grueling competitive action. While both wrestlers try their best to win, one of them ends up dominating the match trying to get the 15+ points bonus. Can she make it?
Surrender comes 48 minutes into the match, and the winner, who is almost as exhausted, performs a schoolgirl pin bicep-flex followed by a standing foot-on-chest victory pose over her defeated opponent. FW-47 is a must-see title for fans of competitive F/F wrestling, as Jane and Pink Rose put out incredible effort to win (or survive) the endurance battle.
