Wrestling is an ancient martial art that uses grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, generally between two people, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position. Wrestling is one of the oldest of martial arts with references to it as early as the Iliad that recounts the Trojan War in the 13th or 12th century BC. There are a wide range of styles with varying rules with both traditional historic and modern styles. Wrestling techniques have been incorporated into other martial arts as well as military hand-to-hand combat systems. Some of the earliest references to wrestling, can be found in wrestling mythology. Greco-Roman wrestling and modern freestyle wrestling were soon regulated in formal competitions, in part resulting from the rise of gymnasiums and athletic clubs. On continental Europe, prize money was offered in large sums to the winners of Greco-Roman tournaments, and freestyle wrestling spread rapidly in the United Kingdom and in the United States after the American Civil War. Wrestling professionals soon increased the popularity of Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling, worldwide.[3][6]

1. Elegant Logo Design
November 05, 2009
So what is an "elegant" logo and should you be interested in one? Here's one definition "...elegant applies to things stylishly graceful, showing good taste in behavior and appearance." With that definition in mind one could say that companies engaging in the arts, high fashion, and perhaps fine dining, would look for elegance in their design. The WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment Corporation) would have no use for an elegant identity. Good taste in behavior is not exactly in vogue with contemporary wrestling. But let's look at another definition of elegance: "pleasingly neat, simple, and con... (read more)

2. Transmission of Molluscum Contagiosum
November 01, 2009
As molluscum is caused by a virus, it is highly contagious and can infect human tissue virtually anywhere on the body. Spread has been documented through the sharing of towels and bathing sponges, wrestling, and from a surgeon to several of his patients. This implies that direct human-to-human contact and contact with infected fomites are the most likely routes of transmission. Conflicting reports make it unclear as to whether the disease may be spread by simple contact with seemingly intact lesions or if the breaking of a lesion and the subsequent transferring of core material is necessary f...

When individuals rent cabins for vacations, basically there are no rules as to what can happen within the cabin, or in the cabin beds.

21. www.SCIENTIFICWRESTLING.com The Gloves Are Coming Off!!! - Part 3
September 10, 2009
Yes, in many ways our style of wrestling was tougher than boxing, Pride or the UFC. The duration of most of the matches were much longer than a typical MMA style bout, and we did not have any rounds.
However, in many ways it was safer than the sports which I have just mentioned. To tell the truth, many entertainment styles of wrestling are much more dangerous than what was presented on Bushido. I hate it when someone who doesn't understand entertainment styles of wrestling says that "if it's all fake, how can anyone get hurt." You ever hear that irritating comment before?
Yep, you've... (read more)

September 10, 2009
A lot of people still believe that with the introduction of the Marquess of Queensberry rules boxing was made safe and "civilized", cringing at the thought of "bareknuckle fighting".
Just the very word "bareknuckle" automatically triggers off preconceived ideas of something that is extremely violent, even before they really know what is about to actually happen. Here's a few facts that many are not aware of.
Despite what a fight appears to be, in most cases the gloves actually cause more damage to a fighter than simply getting hit with a bare fist. Yes, there are many more cuts, brui... (read more)

September 10, 2009
As for the kick-boxing which took place in the UWFi, it couldn't have been closer to Muay Thai as we felt that this was and is the ultimate form of "stand-up fighting". But in our style there were more kicks than punches in most cases, we did away with the elbows and had experienced referees who knew how to stop the bout before someone got really hurt, not after they got hurt.
There was only one match Makoto Ohe had during his run with us which allowed elbows, and this was a UWFi vs Shootboxing match which was the main event on a Shootboxing promotion which was under Shootboxing rules (th... (read more)

24. www.SCIENTIFICWRESTLING.com Bushido- The Standing Bouts
September 10, 2009
When talking about Bushido (or the U.W.F. International), being a professional wrestling company people tend to reflect on only the great wrestling which took place- obviously, this makes sense. Many do recall the great "standing bouts" (the name we gave the kick-boxing bouts, originally billed as being the U.W.F. International Stand-up Fighting Division).
To me these bouts were of almost equal importance as the wrestling division. This division had only three members in the history of the company, Makoto Ohe (former All Japan Shoot-Boxing champion who made his debut with the company on o... (read more)

1) In the States, fighters with the greatest results move up the ladder the quickest. In Japan, the fighters who have been with the organization the longest have seniority.
2) The UWFI followed the "old school" methods of training. Spiritual training and building up mental/psychological strength and endurance took precedence.
3) Training began with the basics, learning respect and making people appreciate the status they earned with humility. Washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the dojo, and other chores are how the new comers were introduced to their world.
Basically "green boys... (read more)
