Amazonen Sports (AS Film) is a female/mixed wrestling and boxing video production company founded in Elmshorn, Germany. It was the main vehicle for the sale and distribution of videos of the German Mat Club events (see below for further details of GMC) and also produced its own material.
The company has had a complicated history since it was founded as Beka-Film by Andreas Miltkau with a partner in 1986. By 1999 the two partners were in dispute over ownership, causing a brief hiatus before a new version of the company emerged with a new-look website. By around 2003 Andreas had relaunched the company, which was now known as Amazonen Sports, and which operated for around another 10 years in this guise before it was incorporated into the Kontex network. Here it retained the previous website address but acquired the standard Kontex webpage design for promotion of the original AS and GMC catalogue. Andreas still maintains his own separate vending operation for original material from his and several other German production companies via the Clips4Sale site. Both sites now promote and sell old material only - no new events or matches have been produced since early 2014.
This is a (roughly translated) quote from the earliest version of the Beka-Film website :-
GMC - the German Mat Club, was established in autumn of 1985. Lots of young girls applied for membership spontaneously. They wanted to learn about and practise this fascinating combat–sport. The girls were determined to enter fully into it, and show their will to win by engaging themselves with all their hearts and minds. Thus developed a way in which young girls, though inexperienced but all the more enthusiastic, are able to demonstrate fights of refreshing and natural intensity.
