grappling grew independently throughout the world and with time these different arts came in contact and mixed. There is only a finite amount of ways to manipulate the human body meaning at some point, all styles of grappling are related to each other.

To practice judo and not have a basic knowledge of physics is insane considering that physics is what makes judo possible. Judo is sport that consist of throws, take downs and over all control.

My Greatest Achievement My greatest achievement took place when I was in eighth grade. It was when I became a master of the basics of Karate. It was when I had received my first degree black belt. I had taken Martial Arts for nine years before that and I was very excited to had finally gotten it. I was a third degree red belt when I became devoted toward reaching my goal of the black belt. Witnessing all of my fellow students receive black belts before me was even more motivating. They had
Most girls don’t pay money to roll around on the ground with sweaty guys. Yet that is exactly what I did this last July. No, it’s not what you’re thinking; I went to wrestling camp. Wrestling is a sport that I’ve always wanted to try, but my shyness and insecurity held me back. This year I decided that I will no longer allow other people’s opinions affect my own decisions. Joining wrestling is the first major step I’m taking to change my life. “You want to do…wrestling? As in…wrestle?” This is the
Did you know that wrestling was one of the first sports that ever existed to mankind? I believe that wrestling is one of the best sports to help you with everyday life and, getting you healthy.

Sweat beading up, rolling down my face, wincing in pain as my body aches, but I keep on, knowing that the past four years of my life had led to this moment. As my day trudged on things finally came to an end and I’ve achieved my goal, I received my black belt. This happened around seven years ago. Today, I’ve won many awards, including many grand championships and being ranked top ten nationally. I continue on with my adventures within karate-fueled by my passion for the sport. In order to
After years of training, I was finally being put to my ultimate test — the test for my first dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I had gotten up early that morning and ate just a small bowl of cereal. I was more nervous than I had ever been in my life and was sure that any more food I ate would come right back up. It was seven thirty in the morning, and my test wasn't until nine. People always talk about time flying, and I never really experienced the phenomenon until that morning. The hour between
When the average person thinks about fighting or self defence their first image is of pugilistic combat. This punching and kicking, which is striking, is only half of hand to hand combat with its counterpart which is grappling. Grappling refers to using techniques to gain an advantageous position or to cause injury to an opponent. Striking is a direct attack with the attackers body. A simple way of looking at it is to compare wrestling to boxing because wrestling is a discipline that is primarily

games like any other kid, but obviously, they lacked social interaction. I just didn’t want to talk to anyone else; I just didn’t care for any attention. I was told to make my mind up and decide what kind of club I wanted to join. My parents suggested judo, a tough and disciplined sport that I always respected, I agreed but instantly regretted my decision… The following day I was
Touching as part of coaching in sport is not prohibited. It’s important to consider that occasionally physical contact is unavoidable, or even essential. Imagine for example, a child that you are coaching is at risk of injuring or causing an accident, it would then be reasonable for the coach to step in and attempt to prevent that from happening. Nevertheless, physical contact in sport should always be proportionate, appropriate, sensitive and respectful, it should never be a surprise. Children
