Fight Girls (Oxygen)
common sense media says
Girl fights? Yes, but with positive messages.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that, despite its provocative title, this is not a rehash of The Bad Girls Club -- Oxygen's other original series about tough women who like to fight each other. Here, the women are assertive rather than asinine and -- through their dedication and commitment to their sport (martial arts) -- prove themselves worthy of role-model status. Drinking, swearing, and other types of iffy behavior are kept to a minimum, making this an interesting, entertaining show that families with older tweens and young teens can watch together. But the graphic nature of the fighting segments takes it off the list for younger kids.
Positive role models:
Aside from a few isolated incidents, the competitors treat each other
with a surprising amount of respect, viewing on another as opponents
rather than adversaries. They're physically fit, assertive, and strong,
and they come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Many of the
women say that fighting has helped them channel their aggression, get
healthy, and boost their self-esteem.

Violence:
As the title suggests, fighting and violence are integral parts of the show. But these women are serious athletes whose sport requires them to beat each other up. The majority of the violence takes place inside the ring, where it's legitimate -- and legal -- to punch and kick.
Sex:
A few of the women are married or in committed relationships. But constant training leaves little time for romance.
Language:
Language is surprisingly clean. Terms like "ass" and "hell" pop up infrequently. "F--k," which is rare, is always bleeped.
Consumerism:
The Oxygen network occasionally promotes its own Web site via text that runs across the bottom of the screen.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
