Todd Antony's photographs of Bolivian women wrestlers - indigenous Aymara Indians who wrestle wearing traditional dress (via The Guardian's 'My Best Shot' feature, which also gives some details of how the picture was taken).

His portfolio of women climbers is also very fine.

It reminds me of some of the moves that we used to do in Aikido - in skirts, as well!
