Providence, Rhode Island is the home of Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, and THE CO-ED FIGHT CLUB FOR GIRLS.
As described by one astute reporter at the Providence Journal on March 30, 2008: “At the E&O Tap, a hipster hangout in the city’s West End, the women of the Co-ed Fight Club for Girls were battling it out to see who was the strongest female in the room. A crowd gathered around two women arm wrestling at a table, shrieking as the winner’s heavily tattooed arm slammed the loser’s to the wooden tabletop. Cecily Dubusker [Brown University Tennis Coach] stood on a bench above them in red short-shorts and a tank top, bouncing up and down with 10-pound dumbbells in hand like a bodybuilding go-go dancer. On a wall screen, grainy videos of wrestling legend Andre the Giant ran on repeat, while three other women, in leotards, spandex and multicolored sweatbands, tended bar on the chilly Monday night.”
As set out in CFCG’s MySpace profile, the Club’s interests include “weightlifting, high pull snatches, pelvic thrusting, hula hoops, sick cardio, sick pumps, high reps, personal bests, curls, abs, luchadoras, women who can pull buses with their teeth, women who can pull buses with their teeth but choose not to, thong leotards, kicking ass, ass-kicking, ass-kickingS, any other possible combinations of the words “ass” “asses” “kick” “kicked” “kicker” “kickers” “kicking” and “kickings”…“
