Wrestling has deep roots in Russian (traditional, Soviet and contemporary) fight culture, mainly through high profile grappling sports such as Sambo, Olympic wrestling and Judo, but also through the plethora of the more self defense - oriented, uniquely Russian fight styles that nowadays are grouped together under the term Russian Martial Art. However, whereas competitive grappling sports require a very high level of technique, skill and athleticism, Russian Martial Art styles have always tended to build their curriculum around the average person (partly because many of these styles were originally taught to conscript soldiers) and concentrate on biomechanical principles that help the student achieve good results relatively fast, though the assimilation of mechanical concepts that lead to individual problem solution and improvisation, rather than make him memorize and drill repeatedly techniques that are surely effective but also very complex and need a lot of time to be learned and applied satisfactory.
Foundation of Wrestling vol. 1 is precisely an introduction to this unique methodology: No techniques are taught in this video, yet the viewer gets a good and most importantly, holistic idea of how human balance works, what tools to use in order to affect and break the opponent's body structure and how directions of force, weight shifts, rotations, straight lines and various angles can be combined in order to achieve the ultimate goal, which is of course to take the opponent to the ground. All the basic principles of Russian Martial Art are explained thoroughly, with many demonstrations at real speed and also slow motion, as well as 15 unique drills that will help you explore the mechanical concepts and adapt them to your own personal style of moving and fighting.
Chapters include:
- Stance and structure
- Basic positioning
- Arm structure
- Tactical positioning
- Power generation
- Structure breaking and the Triangle Points
- The General Structure Breaking Theory
- The "linear way" of structure breaking and unbalancing
- The 'rotational way" of structure breaking and unbalancing
- Subconcepts for structure breaking and unbalancing
