Let’s clear the air right away.
Being an over achiever is a great thing.
Over achievers climb through their window of opportunity before it closes and make history, absolutely shocking people along the way (mostly those who play it safe in life) by their audacity, quiet bravado and tenacity.
Being an under achiever is not a great thing.
Yes, much of that can be a matter of perspective, especially in terms of what others think you should be achieving (society, parents, spouse).
We can never think of a scenario where being an underachiever ever made anyone happy or someone in love with them (usually female) happy either.
At Femcompetitor Magazine and our co-operative FCI Womens Wrestling, if you read our publications on a regular basis you would realize we are in love with Fight Pulse in the Czech Republic for many reasons.
We’ll name a few.
First of all, to do our research and as fans, we have purchased a number of their fantastic female vs female grappling videos and can honestly say watching every single one has been a very satisfying experience.
The quality in their production and the thoughts behind it are evident.
The girls involved are athletic and super sexy with the girl next door look that virtually all of us love.
They provide us with variety and since we at Fem Competitor write about the gorgeous shapely curvy girls on the runway https://femcompetitor.com/shes-nicely-curved/ you can imagine how we are madly in love with Fight Pulse’s curvy girls, Anika and Lucrecia.
Yes we have purchased a number of their videos and the Anika vs Lucrecia clash will go down as a curvy girl classic.
Here is the match description. “The battle of heavyweights is finally here! It’s time to find out who our #1 heavyweight is and decide the rankings!
Lucrecia and Anika are both determined to do their best to get this important win, which results in an intense wrestling match. In FW-49 there are pins, body and head scissors and even at one point in the match a double-scissor hold, with both wrestlers locking their legs around their opponents’ necks at the same time.
If you enjoy watching competitive female wrestling between big powerful women, – they are both over 6? (over 183 cm), with a combined weight of over 400 pounds (185 kg), – then this match is for you!”
Dominant Lucrecia!
We completely agree. You can purchase the match here.

Having said all of that, you can imagine how excited we were when Fight Pulse announced its 2016 Light Weight Championships.
The operative word here is “Light Weight” because they fight with the passion of heavy weights and more importantly these Light Weight beauties are great over achievers.
Let’s meet them as of this November 4, 2016 writing.
“The wait is over! Dear Subscribers and Visitors, it’s time for the annual female wrestling championship in the lightweight division (up to 65 kg)! Exactly a year has passed since we held our first championship, which produced some very popular F/F matches, the championship title match between Zoe and Akela, FW-21, quickly becoming a best-seller.
Many of you have asked us during the last two months about the line-up of this championship, which goes to show the excitement of fans in competitive tournaments. We are just as excited as you are, dear fans. So, without further ado, here’s the roster of the event:
Zoe (current champion) | 4-0-0 | ………………….5? 8?, 136 lb; 172 cm, 65 kg; aged 26 |
Akela | 7-1-1 |
………………….5? 8?, 136 lb; 172 cm, 62 kg; aged 26 |
Jane | 4-2-1 | …………………..5? 7?, 121 lb; 171 cm, 55 kg; aged 26 |
Giselle | 2-2-0 | ……………………5? 8?, 120 lb; 172 cm, 54 kg; aged 25 |
Katniss | 3-3-0 | ……………………5? 6?, 115 lb; 167 cm, 52 kg; aged 30 |
Calypso | 1-2-0 | ……………………5? 6?, 121 lb; 167 cm, 55 kg; aged 20 |
Mia | 0-0-0 | ……………………5? 6?, 117 lb; 167 cm, 53 kg; aged 26 |
Pink Rose | 0-5-0 | …………………..5? 5?, 115 lb; 166 cm, 52 kg; aged 26 |
Thank you Fight Pulse. This is really important. The style of their tournament is different than most that may take place in one day or over the course of a weekend. Here is their description of how their tournament works.
The tournament will be held on Sunday, 6th of November, 2016. The release schedule of the matches is as follows:
- 08/Nov FW Championship quarter-final match #1
- 09/Nov FW Championship quarter-final match #2
- 11/Nov FW Championship quarter-final match #3
- 12/Nov FW Championship quarter-final match #4
- 14/Nov FW Championship semi-final 1
- 16/Nov FW Championship semi-final 2
- 19/Nov FW Championship fight for 3rd place

As a magazine that covers competitive female submission grappling, when a great tournament like this occurs, we tend to have our predictions.
UPDATE: Chrissy Fox pulled out due to health issues. Pink Rose steps in to replace her.
FEMCOMPETITOR MAGAZINE TOURNAMENT PREDICTION
Can anyone defeat the triplets?
Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys NFL football team often affectionately referred to three players on his Super Bowl teams, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin as the “Triplets”.
At Fight Pulse, the upper echelon of these fighting Light Weight over achievers is Zoe, Akela and Jane.
Zoe – Great Overachiever
As we have purchased and reviewed many of their matches Zoe is obviously the front runner but the only loose stone in her castle wall is that she has only wrestled four times and while her undefeated record is impressive, it’s not bullet proof.
The most intriguing matchup if they meet will be Akela vs Jane. The winner of this match has a great chance to upset Zoe.
Here was their previous match description.
“Akela and Jane are both top contenders for the lightweight title, both having only one loss on their record, to the current champion. Akela and Jane have fought before, in FW-27, and that match is to this day is one of the most aggressive, fast-paced encounters we have ever filmed. Because they both have dominant personalities in life, are extremely competitive, always on the offensive, and almost equally skilled, their rivalry is developing into a captivating story. We have received numerous requests to hold a rematch between the two, and it will happen in the second half of 2016, possibly in the upcoming lightweight championship.”
At Fem Competitor, our analysis shows that only one of these three fighters will break through and win the championship.
Why?
The other girls do not have their weight advantage, skill level nor confidence.
Diana and Akela is the key match because if Diana can upset Akela, this should be Zoe’s to win.
If Akela takes care of business, as she should, then she should pull off the upset and defeat Zoe.
The reasoning behind that is because as of this writing, Akela has 9 matches under her belt. Zoe still comes in at only four.
We purchased their match in the first Fight Pulse Light Weight championships and if you watched that match, given that Zoe is 4-0, obviously she won but its how she won that lends us to believe that the experience that Akela has gained puts her in the driver’s seat.
That match literally came down to the end where Akela could have submitted her but time ran out. It’s a great match, you should purchase it. It will make your viewing of the second tournament with more knowing and fresh eyes.

Femcompetitor Magazine’s pre-match prediction:
Zoe will meet Akela in the championship round and Akela will defeat her.
There’s an expression that experience is the best teacher and Akela has been learning well.
