Calendar of Events 2011 If you have taken time to check the updated list of members above you’ll notice there is another new addition to the ASTW family bringing us now to 16 organisations & I’d like to take this moment to warmly welcome Mr. John Nze Bertram the president of the African Wrestling & Sports Federation of Australia to the group. John is based in Adelaide & has some very good connections in the African Diaspora, which he feels will make AWSFA a successful enterprise. Naturally we support such a movement, especially if it brings more people into our fold, which can only happen as traditional wrestling is the cultural norm of so many ethnic groups on the African continent from Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia & Senegal in West Africa to the Nuba people of Northern Sudan & the Dinka people of Southern Sudan. The United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organisation UNESCO has come to acknowledge the importance of traditional sport through its Intangible Cultural Heritage program & three traditional sporting events have been added to their list at the end of 2010, as you can see at their website http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/index.php?lg=en&pg=00011 I’ve managed to obtain video footage of these three events that helps to clarify what this is about as can be seen on YouTube 1. The annual Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Festival of the city of Edirne in Turkey that attracts 1,000 wrestlers, 80,000 spectators & a television viewing audience in the millions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muljd2y3t-4 2. The Pahlivani & Zurkhane Rituals of Iran that are not only thousands of years old but are now also organised into an international sport http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZOt13_ic5w&feature=channel 3. The Naadam Festival of the Republic of Mongolia that is also the major national holiday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI67liJxJtQ You will notice of course that all three of these sports are represented in the ASTW & we hope many more are included in future lists but the Coreeda Association of Australia also belongs to an international organisation called the World Martial Arts Union WoMAU which has also been recognised by UNESCO for its efforts to protect the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the world as this You Tube footage of the World Martial Arts Festival shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E18rFxa7-mM A new British based website dedicated to traditional wrestling in Punjab Provinces of India/Pakistan has been found & it looks like they are serious about starting dangals or traditional tournament circuits in Europe http://www.pahelwani.com/# Another blog site has been going for a few years now that advertises any events around the world relating to Kushti, traditional Indian wrestling & can be seen at http://kushtiwrestling.blogspot.com/ The First Australian Sambo Competition was held in Mt Druitt in Western Sydney on December 12 2010 & even though the event was initially a little disorganised, by all accounts it was quite successful. Congratulations to all competitors who were given novice grading on the day, the first graded sambo wrestlers in Australia. We hope that future tournaments are just as successful & that Australian sambo wrestlers will be competing in international championships soon. Thank you to Stacy Thomas, reporter for the Mt Druitt-St Marys Standard, who has graciously covered the event in print media, as well as several others, http://stage.mt-druitt-standard.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/sambo-showdown-in-mt-druitt/ http://mt-druitt-standard.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/faces-of-wrestling/ http://mt-druitt-standard.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/blacketts-parker-learns-from-failure/ http://mt-druitt-standard.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/meet-ufc-fighters-at-star-city/ As part of the Cumberland Newspaper group, a subsidiary of News Limited, the Mt Druitt St Marys Standard reaches 64,000 readers weekly in the fastest growing part of the largest city in Australia, so having this support is essential to promote our events. If anyone else can find any other stories in local media relating to wrestling in any form please scan them & send them to us so we can collect them for future reference. Further media coverage was found for the Saturday Disney TV Program which did a story for wrestling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v-Ynet0_vY & will do another for sumo on Saturday 26 Feb 10:05am, for all the kids watching out there The Pan-Celtic Wrestling World Championships will be held on January 26 as part of the Celtic Australia Day Celebrations at Bradfield Park Milsons Point, right under the Harbour Bridge. Come along if you are in the area & enjoy a fun day out. If you want to learn more about the Celtic Council of Australia you can check out their website http://www.celticcouncil.org.au/ This leads directly to the Calendar of Events for 2011 & naturally we’ll try to keep abreast of things as they develop, reporting them via this e-newsletter but the following websites have leads for specific wrestling & grappling combat sport tournaments, seminars & championships http://www.coreedaoz.com/main/page_events_events_1.html Coreeda Association of Australia http://www.wrestling.com.au/ Wrestling

Fair play can also be explained in the game and ultimately with the understanding of being principled and measured. However, within the 20th century, the commercialization and professionalization of sports started to vulgarize this concept. Regardless of the way, the desire to win can be observed even in traditionally organized sports practices such as Kırkpınar. Kırkpınar Wrestling, which is included in the intangible cultural heritage list by UNESCO, is one of the centuries-long examples of fair play spirit and its reflection in practices. To draw attention to the practices that reveal the concept of fair play in Kırkpınar will strengthen the perception of fair play in the society. In this study, cultural values in the tradition of “Kırkpınar Wrestling”, rituals and practices that can be shown as examples of fair play are tried to be analyzed by literature scanning method. Keywords: Kırkpınar, fair play, heritage, sports 1. Introduction Morality (Durusoy, 1991), which is the accepted rules that regulate people's behaviors and relationships in society, has never been two apart subjects, and since early periods of history, imperatives and calls about morality have always been, binding holistic values and norms of the sport (Meinderg, 1991).

  • An Analytical Study on Wrestling in India
    International Journal of Enhanced Research in Educational Development (IJERED), ISSN: 2320-8708 Vol. 2, Issue 5, Sept.-Oct., 2014, pp: (10-15), Impact Factor: 1.125, Available online at: www.erpublications.com An analytical study on Wrestling in India Rekha Narwal MKJK College, MDU Rohtak, Haryana, India Abstract: This manuscript gives an analytical study on Wrestling in India. In preparing young wrestlers (16-17 years of age) the design often follows a relatively well-developed system of training for adult masters of sport. In general, the youthful body is characterized by a high intensity cardio-respiratory and blood systems during physical stress. So far, no data on the impact of intense competitive activity on the dynamics of individual aspects of preparedness of young wrestlers is available. Our objective was to study the impact of competitive activity on the functional training state in young wrestlers. Keywords: Competitions, Rules, Female Wrestling, Factor Analysis, Technique Wrestlers, training, weight management. INTRODUCTION Wrestling is unique among athletics. It is considered to be one of the most physically demanding sports among high school and college athletics. Wrestling was one of the most favored events in the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece. The first organized national wrestling tournament took place in New York City in 1888. From the Athens Games in 1896, until today, the wrestling events are also an important part of the modern Olympic Games. The International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) originated in 1912 in Antwerp, Belgium. The 1st NCAA Wrestling Championships were also held in 1912, in Ames, Iowa. USA Wrestling, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, became the national governing body of amateur wrestling in 1983.

In particular, exercise modifies the structure and function of the hippocampus, a brain area important for learning and memory. This review addresses the central and peripheral mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise on the hippocampus. We focus on running-induced changes in adult hippocampal neurogenesis, neural circuitry, neurotrophins, synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitters, and vasculature. The role of peripheral factors in hippocampal plasticity is also highlighted. We discuss recent evidence that systemic factors released from peripher- al organs such as muscle (myokines), liver (hepatokines), and adipose tissue (adipokines) during exercise contribute to hippocampal neurotrophin and neurogenesis levels, and memory function. A comprehensive understanding of the body–brain axis is needed to elucidate how exercise improves hippocampal plasticity and cognition. here is a global increase in physical inactivity for learning and memory and exhibits extensive T(Guthold et al. 2008; Dumith et al. 2011; functional plasticity in response to exercise.

    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 260 December, 2015 Greek Influences on the Pazyryk-style Wrestling Motif of the Keshengzhuang Bronze Buckles by Lucas Christopoulos Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.
