Other information

The inaugural LGIS (New) 1994 tournament featured a newcomer, Nicole Hartwig AKA Cassia, who rapidly became the focal point of the group. Designated as "Captain" or sometimes vice-president, she fought in a huge number of competitive matches of all types while also refereeing bouts, introducing/interviewing fighters and generally being the face of the company. Her view of female fighting was - "Fighting - boxing as well as wrestling - means hurting the opponent as well as taking the risk of getting hurt yourself, and not being afraid of either outcome."

By around 2000 the LGIS (New) group seemed to have become dormant with no new material appearing. However in 2003-2004 there was another, short-lived revival, this time fronted by middle-aged fight enthusiast Thalli but with Cassia still involved. This group set up a new website - Munich Wildcats - and for a time their new videos together with all ex-LGIS videos were available there. The site was also affiliated to the Kontex network for several years. The revived company seemed to be operating on a very low budget with matches staged in ordinary rooms in houses, and with only a small roster of girls to work with. All activity had ceased by around 2007.
