 The company was formed in 1976 by Fred Strothmann and Erich Klinger together with [[Angie Simons|Angie]] who was the nominated club captain and one of the core membership of ten or so who were regular performers throughout the lifetime of the club. The initial group of fighters, including '''Heidi''' began several months of wrestling and boxing training in 1976, and on January 31st 1977 eight active members of the group entered the ring in the centre of the "Donauhalle" of Ingolstadt (about 60km north of Munich) in front of 700 spectators to take part in the inaugural event which launched the organisation. The main group divided into two groups of four, each of which staged a mini-tournament - wrestling and boxing. '''Angie''' won the boxing competition while '''Heidi''', later to become a fearsome boxer, won the wrestling with a convincing win over '''Karin'''.
-Throughout the duration of the clubs existence Heidi is reckoned to have boxed in over thirty bouts, winning three for every one she lost.

 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a founding member of the original incarnation of the Liberal Girls International SportClub - otherwise known as [[LGIS (Old)]] - a female boxing and wrestling organisation founded in Munich, Germany in 1976. It promoted a ground-breaking vision - that girls who were enthusiastic about female combat, and who wanted to fight semi-professionally in public settings, could do so topless in properly arranged events and tournaments.
 The company was formed in 1976 by Fred Strothmann and Erich Klinger together with [[Angie Simons|Angie]] who was the nominated club captain and one of the core membership of ten or so who were regular performers throughout the lifetime of the club. The initial group of fighters, including '''Heidi''' began several months of wrestling and boxing training in 1976, and on January 31st 1977 eight active members of the group entered the ring in the centre of the "Donauhalle" of Ingolstadt (about 60km north of Munich) in front of 700 spectators to take part in the inaugural event which launched the organisation. The main group divided into two groups of four, each of which staged a mini-tournament - wrestling and boxing.

We met 5 times - always under the condition that the winner gets the entire purse - so we agreed that there should be a clear decision (KO. or retirement). " ''
 Like nearly all the group members, she retired from the female fighting scene with the demise of the '''LGIS''' organisation.
