Emi, looking a powerhouse of compact muscle got the ball rolling by taking on Philip. Trouble was Philip didn't seem to have much idea and Emi used him like a rag doll to demonstrate her repertoire of holds and throws. Still, he took his punishment like a man!

Symon fared little better against Emi's compatriot Chihiro who seemed to take even greater pleasure in trashing her opponent. She used every trick we know and several we didn't. Is ear-pulling for instance a recognised feature of the sport? But human nature is strange for Symon seemed to enjoy the beating-up he received.

The next two matches were three-on-three affairs, but the men got little change out of their opposite numbers. For much of the time it seemed as though it took two men just to hold their own against one woman without any hope of victory. These guys tried to stick together but all some of them got for their pains were smacked bottoms!

Shaven-headed Alan looked a tough guy but looks aren't everything and Kirsty was just too much woman for him to handle. She's an out-and-out performer is our Kirsty, so look out for the verbals!

Symon didn't do very well against Chihiro but if anything Megan subjected him to even greater humiliation. His face must have been red afterwards, not from embarrassment but from the slapping it received. Megan called him (amongst other things) a wimp. You judge!
