While in Toronto on the weekend I heard of a different kind of fight club that is apparently very big in Toronto. It is called the Pillow Fight League.

Now I am not sure if it just because I am old or that I am out of the loop of what kids are into today but this whole concept fascinated me enough that I had to look it up.

Check out the rules of the sport.

  • 1. Women Fighters Only. No Exceptions.
  • 2. Fights have a five minute time limit and are won via pinfall, surrender, or referee stoppage. If a fight ends at the time limit with no winner, a winner is declared by a three-judge committee.
  • 3. Punching, leg drops, clotheslines, submission holds, and other moves are allowed as long as a pillow is used to execute the attack.
  • 4. Preventing an opponents’ pillow strike by holding her pillow results in a warning from the referee. Judges may choose to include these warnings as part of their judging criteria if a fight goes the distance.
  • 5. No eye-gouging, biting, scratching, hair pulling, or low blows.
  • 6. No rude, lewd, or suggestive behavior.
  • 7. Loading a pillow with a foreign object such as a brick is strictly forbidden.

    • How have I never heard of this? Anyways I am sorry for all the guys thinking that this is not news but I wanted to share it. I figure I am pretty in touch with things and if I missed it maybe there are others as well.

    Here is a YouTube clip to show you more.

    Has anyone out there been to one of these events? Can you comment on how it was?
