Combat Sports - Greco-Roman Wrestling

Greco-Roman Wrestling is a sport that is practiced all over the world. The Olympic Games in 1896 contested this sport, however, since 1908 competitions have been held in every version of the Summer Olympics since then. Matches take place in 3 two minute periods based on a scoring system. However a match can end early because of a pinfall. Holds below the waist are forbidden which separates this sport from Freestyle Wrestling which also takes place at the Olympics.

You can't trip an opponent to take them to the ground and you can't hook or grapple their leg. The Suplex is a common Greco-Roman move which is offensively used to lift their opponent in the air then body slam then using their own weight to the mat. This is one of the six main types of wrestling as referred to by the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles or FILA. Greco Roman started east of the Mediterranean Ocean. The Ancient Greeks used to live in this area.

The Greeks believed that Wrestling should not only be practiced by Troops but that everyone should learn it including children. Young men were split up into groups of two and learned wrestling in Palaestra which is a Greek School that taught sports. The Greeks didn't really think of this sport as a Martial Art. They considered it more of an exercise regimen which purpose was to teach them grace and finesse. Ancient Greek Literature referred to this sport as one used by the Gods and Kings.

They used Skilled Wrestlers to refer to mythical heroes of that time. In Greece it was considered an Olympic Game way back in 704 B.C. Events also took place at the Pentathalon before they took place at the Olympics. A great deal of fancy Sculptures within Greece and Rome portray pictures of Wrestlers. It was also popular around Ancient Greece among the festival times. However the British took much more of a liking to Freestyle verses Greco-Roman Wrestling although it was very heavily promoted within their borders.

What We Know About Pro Wrestling Gear

Most people take pro wrestling gear for granted. That means they assume that a wrestler can wear anything he wants in the ring. And, honestly, there are some wrestlers that do pretty much wear what they want. However, this is often the result of trying to present a certain gimmick or appearance. In some instances, it can prove helpful while in other situations, it could prove highly problematic. That is why it is best to purchase pro wrestling gear that aids in helping one's performance in the ring while avoiding the problems inherent to wearing the wrong gear.

In the past, wrestlers mainly wore solid color trunks in the ring. In today's day and age, wrestlers choose from a greater variety of pro wrestling gear. However, the pro wrestling gear of the modern era shares many of the same qualities and purposes of the older, classical model. That is, the gear is designed to eliminate the restriction of movement that would be inherent in gear that is not designed for the ring.

In a wrestling ring, you need to be able to move. If your movement is inhibited, the potential to suffer and injury is increased. This is to say nothing of the impediments on one's performance that low quality or inappropriate gear would have. Always purchasing the right ring wear items is a must. Never overlook such a fact.

Another very helpful item to purchase would be to procure a decent pair of wrestling boots. Pro wrestling boots are designed to cover a number of purposes. One of the most important benefits is that they provide support to the ankles and shins. The soles of pro wrestling boots also help greatly to maintain traction and prevent slipping. Both of these facets prevent accidental injuries and other such problems. Classic wrestling boots can sometimes be a little pricey but the cost is most definitely well worth the investments thanks to the huge safety benefit they present.

One of the more popular and unique items in the pro wresting gear catalogue is the wrestling mask.

There are many different wrestling masks in existence and the most popular and incredible looking are those made in Mexico. Always be sure to purchase those masks that are a proper fit. You do not want a mask that is too tight as this could inhibit breathing ability. A mask that is too large can also pose a great many problems as well. Again, always purchase a mask that is the proper fit or else problems will ensue.

Purchasing legitimate professional wrestling gear from popular manufacturers and suppliers also has the added benefit of acquiring quality items that have the right look. You would be purchasing gear that appears professional which make you look good in the ring. That alone is a major reason it is best to stick with the top manufacturers of professional wrestling gear.

Slammed Into Our Hearts - The Most Popular Professional Wrestlers of All Time

Professional wrestling is one of the biggest parts of anyone's growing up period. Many of us are enthralled as kids with these high flying, death defying and over-the-top acting men who have the ability to fire our imaginations. We love their brashness, their arrogance, and all the drama they create. In fact, a lot of us love it so much we never outgrow the love of these titans of the ring, even surviving the inevitable discovery that wrestling is fake.

This is a tribute to those brave men (and women) who risk life and limb doing the craziest moves in order to entertain us. Here are a few of those modern day heroes that surely put the E in entertainment:

Bret Hart: All those kids who grew up during the 90s were amazed by the brilliance and charisma of the one and only Bret 'The Hitman' Hart. Probably the most technically sound wrestler in histroy, Bret was trained by his father, Stu in what's called the Hart Family Dungeon. This would give him a wide array of moves that would help him to be World Wrestling Federation champion, especially the infamous lock 'The Sharpshooter'.

Shawn Michaels: Men and women alike cheer madly for 'The Heartbreak Kid' who is known for his death defying moves and his boyish good looks. Probably the best in ring performer the wrestling industry has ever seen, Shawn Michael's daring stunts would pave the way for future risk takers such as Jeff Hardy.

Mick Foley: Now semi-retired from wrestling, Mick Foley is known as one of the toughest men to step in the ring literally. From being whacked by barbed wire winded bats to being slammed through wooden tables, Mick Foley has absorbed so many kinds of abuse that it's a surprise he's still standing but no surprise that we all love him!

Real World Self Defense - Using the Ninja's 5 Primary Weapon Types in Your Shopping Bag!

One of the most important lessons that you could ever learn about real-world self defense can be found in the Ninja's unorthodox self-protection methods. It's the skill of thinking and acting "outside the box!"

This article focuses on the ability to see anything as a potential weapon in your own defense. So, read on and join me for a day at the grocery store. Ninja-style!

Can you imagine being out at the store on your day off? The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day, when suddenly there he is... the mugger who wants your money!

What do you do?

You've got your gun in the glove compartment, and your shuriken back at the dojo. All you have in your hand is a grocery bag full of food!

Follow me through the recesses of your grocery bag, as we back up to create necessary space and time - put the bag down, and begin to employ surprising examples of the Ninja's 5 primary weapon types.

The first thing we do is pull out a loaf of sliced bread and pull back as if to use it as a club. As soon as the attacker stops to figure out what he's looking at, we quickly tear the plastic open and help ourselves to several slices.

As he recovers from his surprised disbelief, he begins to move in again, only to find that he is being hit by bread shuriken - slices of the bread in your hand that you are launching at his face like the Ninja stars - projectile type weapons - they resemble!

This gives you the needed time to reach back into the bag and pull out that bottle of soda you were going to enjoy on the way home.

Now, with fury at the fool that you made of him with the bread, your assailant comes in at you with a clothing grab to take control of the victim who thinks he's a comedian. Except that as soon as his hand grabs your shirt, he feels the splintering pain shoot through the back of his hand and up his outstretched arm.

As he starts to let go, the pain moves to his head, as the bottle is suddenly slammed into his face and the side of his head. As he reels from the brain-jarring attack, and tries to contain his dizziness from the plastic, soda filled bottle - an example of a stick or clubbing type weapon - he turns back to you, only to be met by the explosive spray of liquid coming from the now charged bottle you just strategically opened in his direction!

You move to pick up your remaining groceries and get out of there, when you feel the grip of his massive arms wrap around you from behind.

As you drop the bag, you hold onto the bunch of celery that was waiting it's turn inside. Then, using the vegetable's leafy end you reach over your shoulder as if to dust off his face - attacking his eyes with what he will soon find is an example of a combination weapon type. Because, as he flinches back from the assault on his eyes, his grip loosens enough for you to shift to the side and slam the club-like bunch of celery into his groin.

While he is doubled over, you look into the bag and look at the lone pack of lunch meat, sealed in that thick, plastic wrapper that takes super-human strength to open. You're still looking at it, when you suddenly realize that he has upped the rules of the game, and is lunging at you with a knife.

Sidestepping the attempted stab, and bringing the serrated edge of the lunch meat wrapper across his cutting arm, opening him up with a cut of your own with your make-shift blade-type weapon, you quickly cause him to drop the knife in his now wounded hand.

Undeterred, he reaches out and slaps the small package from your hand. Then, with a warning yell that speaks of his pain, frustration, and humiliation...

...he makes a final attempt to do what he set out to do. Except, as his fist flies out to smash into your face, you slip by his moving arm to use the bag in your hand like the flexible weapon that it is. You deftly parry his arm to the side far enough to catch his head with the bag stretched between your hands.

As soon as you know you have his balance, you shift into position for a rear hip throw and, using the bag as a rope, you shift out - causing his head and neck to crash into the pavement - rendering him unconscious!

And, that's how we Ninja are always "armed." Except now you're out of weapons...I mean food!

I guess it's back into the store to refill your grocery bag for dinner...

...or the next unsuspecting criminal who has no idea who he's choosing as a target!

Art & Craft Business Tips for Entrepreneurs

Today craft supplies are the heart of any arts and crafts business. Without supplies and good suppliers, your business will be in jeopardy. Search the right supplies at the right price and your business will have a much better chance of grow successfully.

Starting and running a craft business can sometimes be as confusing as it is rewarding. Here are 5 things to know before starting your venture into the world of professional crafting.

1. Shop Around

Always comparison-shop for supplies. Prices can vary greatly from vendor to vendor. Once you find a low-cost supplier, don't stop there! Over time, prices do change. It's a good idea to keep an eye out for another distributor.

2. Buy at Wholesale Cost

Many suppliers offer discounts to qualified buyers. Qualifications differ, but usually a Retail Tax ID number will suffice. Call your local courthouse to find out whom to contact to obtain a retail tax permit in your area. (If you are selling crafts, you should already have one.) Once you have your tax identification, ask individual suppliers if they offer wholesale discounts and how to qualify.

3. Buy in Quantity

Often, buying supplies in bulk can save money. When comparison-shopping for materials, ask each vendor if quantity discounts apply and if so, what the percentages off will be.

4. Use Recycled Materials

Be creative with your raw materials! You may be able to save quite a bit by using recycled wood, textiles, plastic, metal and anything else you may use. Of course all of your supplies cannot be obtained through recycled materials, but you might be surprised at where you can cut costs if you give it some thought.

5. Shop at Discount Stores

Many large chains offer comparable prices on certain craft supplies. If you intend to resell the finished product that you make and have a Tax ID number, you can avoid paying sales tax. Ask the store manager for details on tax exemption status.

Marketing is the another key ingredient to any successful business! You must have ways to get the word out about your products. Whether you will be attending craft shows, placing mail order ads, or selling your crafts online.

Selling crafts online involves more than simply publishing a Web site. Successful online marketing requires time, dedication and a basic understanding of marketing in general. Your online craft shop is merely an extension of your real-world business and all forms of marketing should compliment each other to work efficiently and effectively.

This article is not only intended to give craftspeople ideas on how to market an arts and crafts Web site, but also to help crafters become aware of the importance of real-world marketing of a cyber-world storefront.
