3 Types Of Wrestling Sport

Based of technique focus, there are 3 types of wrestling sport:

1. Throwing Style

The oldest wrestling sport type recorded in history (ancient Greco Roman Wrestling), this wrestling sport type focus on throws.

Most common reason why the creators of throwing style arts created wrestling art like this was because they want to create wrestling art that focus on taking an opponent off position and make the opponent’s head dizzy - KO quickly without any punch or kick (Being thrown highly like that is make your head spinning wildly you know?!! Wrestling on soft mat is only protect you against hard surface).

2. Grappling Style

This wrestling sport type focus on submission holds like choke, jointlock and body pin.

Most common reason why the creators of grappling style arts created wrestling art like this was because they want to created wrestling art that focus on immobilizing opponent techniques which can be learned by weaker - smaller wrestlers (most grappling art creators have weaker - smaller body size than throwing style wrestlers).

3. Pushing Style

This wrestling sport type focus on pushing the opponent off balance.

Most common reason why the creators of pushing style arts created wrestling art like this was because they want to create wrestling art that focus on taking an opponent off position which can be learned by smaller - weaker wrestlers (same with the grappling arts, most pushing art creators have weaker - smaller body size than throwing style wrestlers. Except Sumo wrestlers, they are big guys who like tackling each other like Rugby players).

3 Types Of Fighting Sport

Based of technique focus, there are 3 types of fighting sport:

1. Punching Style

The oldest unarmed fighting sport type recorded in history (ancient Sumerian Boxing), this fighting sport type focus on close range hand strikes. For examples: Boxing, Hokkien Kuntao, Panantukan, Nanpai Kungfu, Wei Kuen Do.

Most common reason why the creators of punching style arts created martial art like this was because natural condition and the environment of their countries which prevents them from using long range high kicks. For examples: Slippery desert with soft sand, village in the dense jungle or densely built-up port city.

This fighting style is powerful for close range combat but weak for long range combat (Of course!! Punch is shorter than kick!!).

2. Kicking Style

This fighting sport type focus on long range high kicks. For examples: Taekkyon, Taekwondo, Savate, Beipai Kungfu.

Most common reason why the creators of kicking style arts created martial art like this was because natural condition and the environment of their countries which allows them to using long range high kicks. For examples: Vast agricultural area with flat ground, stable desert with solid sand or sparse development city which have lot of vacant lands.

This fighting style is powerful for long range combat but weak for close range combat (You can’t do your Taekwondo or Kungfu high kicks well in narrow alley right? Of course!!).

3. Balanced Striking Style

This fighting sport type focus on both hand and leg strikes 50:50 balancedly. For examples: Karate, Koppo, Kenpo, Jeet Kune Do, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Tang Soo Do, Silat.

The reason why the creators of balanced striking style arts created martial art like this was because they want to created more modern martial art that can be used for both close and long range combats.

This fighting style is most dynamic martial art that can be used anywhere. Sadly it punch and kick techniques quality is 50:50, it punching technique quality is half of real punching style arts and it kicking technique quality is also half of real kicking style arts. If you challenge kickboxer/karateka guy for punch-only match against boxer then that kickboxer/karateka guy will be lose, if you challenge kickboxer/karateka guy for kick-only match against taekkyon-kkun then that kickboxer/karateka guy will be lose.

2 Types Of Boxing Glove

Here how to choose proper Boxing glove:

How about the price? Depend on the brand. But based on my personal experience, Training Glove is more expensive because it used more foams inside (i compared 2 gloves from same brand).

Using cheaper - lighter glove for Punching Bag drill is still okay for me but less challenging.

Long Pole Fighting

Long pole is variation of long staff fighting technique where the fighter hold the staff/spear on the lower end position, to make it striking reach longer than basic middle grip position. Similar with short staff and two handed sword holding technique.

It has same fighting technique with long spears and often used as training / competition weapon by ancient spearmen worldwide.
