USA Competitor Card SINGLET Each wrestler from our club wishing to compete in a tournament can rent a singlet. We will have handouts at designated times (see website and bulletin board) with a $45 deposit for each singlet. There is a $10.00 user fee per singlet and that is for the normal wear and tear of the item(s). Deposit Checks will be attached to the rental form and returned when singlet(s) (cleaned and in good condition) are returned at the end of the season. If not returned or are in unacceptable condition, we will cash the deposit checks. Washing Instructions on Singlet: Wash in cold water, hang to dry. TOURNAMENT COMPETITION If your child decides he wants to wrestle in a tournament, he will be wrestling with an opponent matched by class level and weight (or age and weight). Efforts are always made to match wrestlers with opponents within five pounds of their own weight. If the tournament pairs wrestlers by age, then the age group each wrestler competes in is determined by the year of their birth. Some tournaments will pair wrestlers by school grade, if a tournament is set up with this format, we will inform you. Updated 10/17/17 TOURNAMENTS Gorilla Wrestling Club is a USA Wrestling Chartered Club. Our Coaches and Wrestlers attend select wrestling tournaments throughout the season. Wrestling clubs, in the area, sponsor these competitions. Tournament participation is strictly by personal choice. Weigh-ins for all tournaments except for the State tournaments will be held on the Thursday before the tournament after practice. TYPICAL TOURNAMENT TIMETABLE 1. Before each tournament, bathe and cut fingernails. 2. Remember to bring your wrestler’s USA Competitor card (if required), wrestling singlet, and attire. 3. Wrestling Charts/Brackets are usually posted at the tournament, with competition beginning depending on the division you are in. Each tournament flier will have the registration and start time of your child’s division (tournament flier’s are located on the Gorilla Wrestling Web Site schedule page). Find your wrestling chart by looking for your (1) division or class group, (2) weight, and (3) your name on the chart. 4. Warm-up. Exercise with the other GORILLA members and loosen up before wrestling by doing calisthenics and practice moves. 5. Listen to the announcer for your division or class group to be called. Example: Bantam’s, wrestler’s name and weight group A, report to mat #2. If available, a GORILLA coach will also report to mat #2. NEVER wrestle without a GORILLA coach at mat side. If no coach is at the mat, you will need to inform the referee and he will help you find a coach before the match begins. 6. Once called to a Mat, the wrestler will stay at that mat until the entire bracket has been completed. Once completed a table worker will take the wrestlers to the awards stand. www.cowrestling.com WHY PARTICIPATE IN WRESTLING? Few sports require total use of the body, and wrestling develops this with all the following benefits: 1. Greater physiological development 2. Flexibility 3. Body awareness 4. Strength and leverage 5. Balance 6. Coordination and reaction time 7. Speed 8. Reduced body fat Wrestling in schools and clubs is a sport of individual participation functioning within the framework of team concepts. This aspect contributes to the development of life-long patterns of responsible behavior, including respect for others regardless of social or racial origin. A young person involved in wrestling can be expected to display increased self- confidence and appreciation of their self-worth, and to develop analytical and adaptive skills. Wrestling is fun and like other athletic pursuits, all the family can participate in various ways. Updated 10/17/17 WHAT IS WRESTLING? There are a number of various styles of wrestling. What we do in organized Junior and High School wrestling in the U.S. is called American Folkstyle wrestling. The styles that are taught all around the world (and what is seen at the Olympics), are Freestyle and Greco- Roman. There are organized programs in the U.S. that are strictly these two types of wrestling from the youth level, right on up to the Olympic teams and beyond. We introduce our club to Freestyle and Greco-Roman in the month of April. The Styles The Gorilla Wrestling Club focuses on three styles: Folkstyle, Freestyle and Greco-Roman, each with separate rules, techniques, and emphasis. Wrestlers with a strong background in only one style, and little experience in the others, sometimes have difficulty adjusting to an opponent who uses the stronger techniques from a different style to attack. For this reason, most successful coaches stress that their wrestlers learn as many styles as they can to develop their own unique techniques. This becomes particularly important if the wrestler plans to compete at the college level or in national competitions. Below is a short description of each style as practiced in the US. There are many flavors of each of these styles. Folkstyle Folkstyle (scholastic) is the style common to junior, high school and college competition in the United States. As the name implies, the style was developed in the U.S., and is not used in international competition. Folkstyle concentrates on control, with points awarded for controlling an opponent for lengths of time longer than when under control. The wrestler on top must constantly work towards a pin, while the wrestler on the bottom must continually try to escape or reverse. Folkstyle is similar to Freestyle in that, for some time, both wrestlers are on their feet and attempting to take each other to the mat in order to gain control. Freestyle Freestyle wrestling concentrates on attacking the entire body of the opponent. Wrestlers start on their feet, and points are accumulated by taking the opponent to the mat and exposing his back. New FILA Rules Go Into Effect 1. Three 2-minute rounds (all age divisions) with 30-second rest 2. Each round will start 0-0. 3. Must win two out of three rounds to win the match. 4. A fall ends the bout, regardless of winning rounds. 5. Getting a five-point throw wins the round. 6. Getting two three-point scoring actions wins the round. 7. Gaining a six-point lead constitutes a technical fall in that round. This does not end the bout, but simply ends the round. 8. Going out of bounds costs you one point. 9. Passivity will no longer be called. 10. If you gain a lead and stall, evading your opponent, particularly if your opponent is in a scoring position, you will be called for Fleeing the Hold, which is a Caution and two points Updated 10/17/17 Since the emphasis in Freestyle is on attack and exposure, just controlling the opponent from on top with no continuous back exposure is considered a stalemate, and both wrestlers are brought to their feet after a short time in order for the bout to continue. Also, since back exposure is emphasized, a wrestler can easily score points or pin himself by exposing his own back unless he is very careful how he performs his movements.

  • Crack the Heian Shodan the Heian Kata Foundation of Shotokan Katas by Bruce D
    Crack the Heian Shodan The Heian Kata Foundation of Shotokan Katas by Bruce D. Clayton, Ph.D. 1 BLACK BELT blackbeltmag.com The founders of shotokan karate devised survival skills to overcome impossible odds. When the king of Okinawa found himself trapped between samurai occupiers and U.S. Marines, his Shuri bodyguards answered these threats by creating the cornerstone of hard-style karate: the heian kata. Modern masters have pass down these technical forms to their students, but their martial applica- tions remained a mystery—until now. In the expanded edition of the acclaimed Shotokan’s Secret: The Hidden Truth Behind Karate’s Fighting Origins, author Bruce D. Clay- ton cracks open the kata with new insights into their meaning and purpose. The new edition analyzes the enemies that unarmed Okinawan bodyguards like Sokon Matsumura and Yasutsune Itosu faced. From there, Shotokan’s Secret delves deeply into the heian kata, revealing how each heian form contains the key techniques for defeating Okinawa’s adversaries. The following is an exerpt taken from this book and includes a mini glossary. THE SHURI BODYGUARDS HAD WELL-KNOWN HEIAN SHODAN WAS REVOLUTIONARY fights with other martial artists on the streets of Naha. Some of Shotokan students learn heian shodan as their first kata, or these fights were life-and-death bouts, but usually they were possibly the first “real” kata after the taikyoku kata. Either way, contests where no fatal or maiming injury was contemplated. their introduction to karate is based on front stance, front punch Their challengers were fighting for reputation, like the teenage and high-speed stepping around the room.

Also known as Vale Tudo, No Holds Barred (NHB), Cage Fighting, Ultimate Fighting, Pride Fighting, Sougo Kakutogi Focus Various Hardness Full contact Olympic sport No Mixed martial arts (MMA), popularly known as cage fighting or ultimate fighting is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills, from a mixture of other combat sports, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of both striking as well as grappling techniques, both while standing and while on the ground. Such competitions allow fighters of different backgrounds to compete. The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to various mixed style contests that took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. The combat sport of Vale Tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Professional MMA events had also been held in Japan by Shooto starting back in 1989. In due course the more dangerous Vale Tudo style bouts of the early UFCs were made safer with the implementation of additional rules, leading to the popular regulated form of MMA seen today. Originally promoted as a competition with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations,

  • Grappling As Projected in the Archaeological Finds of Ancient and Medieval India
    Grappling as Projected in the Archaeological Finds of Ancient and Medieval India Kush Dhebar1 1. 505, Technology Apartment, 24 IP Extension, Delhi – 110 092, New Delhi, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 16 July 2018; Revised: 08 September 2018; Accepted: 17 October 2018 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 6 (2018): 908‐925 Abstract: Grappling as an unarmed form of combat that has been prevalent in India since the ancient times. Grappling included present day forms of wrestling, Pehelvani, Jiu‐Jitsu, Judo and classical pugilism. Ancient Indian literature is full of references of grappling and other martial arts but along with that India has an undying tradition of archaeological evidences of grappling in the form of sculptures and terracotta plates on Indian monuments right from the Sunga‐ Kushana period to the VIjayanagara period. Keywords: Archaeology, Wrestling, Grappling, Jiu‐Jitsu, Iconography, Mallayuddha, Mushti‐Yuddha Introduction Ancient India had great and widespread martial and physical traditions. Martial Arts practiced by martial artists was known as Mallavidya. This mallavidya was practiced in earthen mud pits known as Akhadas in North India, Talim in Maharashtra and Garadi Mane in Karnataka. The mallavidya that we see today is more or less restricted to wrestling and grappling, but during the ancient times there are references of striking like punches, knees and elbows also being used. For example, in the Harivamsha Purana there are famous bouts between Lord Krishna and his brother Balarama and wrestlers Chanura and Mushtika. If one reads the Purana one can see how fists and knees were used by the wrestlers during the bouts.
