Period 8 Principles of P.E. Blog 3 Wrestling

We are still light on the comments, so those of you who understand that there will be a new blog posted every week, please let your classmates know. Many of you had the right idea of why fitness testing is important. We want to know our current levels of fitness in various areas so that we know what we need to work on and so that we can set up our training to focus on those areas of need, while not neglecting those areas where we are already strong.

We will begin our wrestling unit this week. The wrestling we will be doing is more like gymnastics. We use this unit as a way to bond as a class, to learn how to fall and move our bodies in different directions, and to balance. We will also use this unit to learn how to control another persons movements. We will need all of these skills as we progress through the semester.

For your blog this week I want you to let me know what you know about wrestling. I am not talking about the crazy stuff you see on T.V. I am talking about traditional folk style wrestling. The kind that the Wootton wrestling team does.

  1. I really don't know much about wrestling. I know that sumo wrestlers have to be really fat and that traditional wrestlers wear these helmet type things on their heads

  3. I pwn at gymnastics :P
    Stuff i know about in wrestling is that you cannot use fists, or kick and stuff.
    I know that you have to try to maintain control of the fight and bring down your opponent as fast as you can.

  7. In traditional folk style wrestling, the objective is to pin your opponent down to the ground for 2 seconds. There are other ways to score points too, such as reversals, escapes, and takedowns. Wrestlers are penalized if they strike their opponent.

  13. Basicly you have to gain control over your opponent to be able to bring him down so that you canpin im for 2 sec while both shoulders are touching the ground.

    you get points for pins and escapes stuff like that.

  17. In folk style wrestling you do moves that make you score points, such as pin, takedown, nearfall, etc. If you pin them for 3 counts, you automatically win. Otherwise you will have to get 15 more points than your opponent to win.
