Gladiatrix Fight Video

Here's a short You Tube video from an acting conservatory where two actresses perform as gladiatrices. Their swordfight is brief but they put on an interesting show and it ends with one dying bravely. I wish they had worn more classical armor, but their swords looked like they were made well.

Fantasy Amazon Warrior Art Uploads

This month, the Rotating Gallery features a sentry guarding a castle (please note the intricate armour), a battle scene depicting the death of a portly knight, a wicked sword duel of two topless women, and a lovely guardian angel.

The "Warrior Speaks Out" feature depicts a female Spartan warrior. Although it wouldn't be part of normal Spartan culture to allow a woman warrior, this lady demands her chance to join their fierce army. This month's "Woman Rant" picture depicts an archer. Also, a number of new videos have been added to the "Video Library" so please check them out.

I hope that you like the new changes to my blog's format.

SCA Swordfighting Re-enactment

This video clip is a good example of what the SCA (Society For Creative Anachronism) does during their fairs. Please click the title to jump to the link. This video clip has also been placed in my Video Library as "SCA Medieval Sword Fight: Man Vs. Woman".

The video takes place in Germany where a man and woman duel using rapiers. While the man has a small shield, the braver woman only wields her sword with much ferocity and skill. While I have a considerable amount of SCA artwork, this is my first video clip so I will try to obtain more.

New Women Warriors Video Clips

I just uploaded new video clips into the blog's "Video Library" (see my Table Of Contents" for the quick link to it). There, you'll find six exciting video clips from the following movies: "Barbarian Queen II", "War Goddess" (2 clips), and "Battle Of The Amazons" (2 clips).

Although many of you have already seen "Barbarian Queen II", for those who haven't, I think you will find this clip gripping.

The "War Goddess" clips contain some wickedly thrilling battle scenes of Amazons attacking a village. This movie is available for rent from Netflix.com or Blockbuster.com. I've never seen this movie before so I'm looking forward to my copy coming Tuesday.

The "Battle Of The Amazons" clips are the main battle scenes from this rare movie. They are quite entertaining, but the scenes featuring masked women are in fact played by men. Sadly, this movie is not available for rent. Amazon.com has this movie for sale at $175.00 US the last time I checked. I actually saw this movie when I was a kid.

Hope you enjoy these clips, and please, reply here with your comments. I'm working very hard to build a huge collection of women-warrior video clips, many hard-to-find.
