For the Chinese Fast Wrestlers/Your Scottish Cousins

[Black Jack]

This simple site does not have many pictures, though the few it has are cool, but it has the traditional rules to Scottish Backhold Wrestling as done by the current association.

I was thinking some of the Chinese Fast Wrestlers may enjoy it as its a pure throwing system.

I will try to find more indepth stuff later, a number of the European systems were throwing based, such as Irish Collar and Elbow.

Cool.

I would prefer not to grapple with some guy while wearing a skirt though.:p

Here is a link for you Northern Euros, its called Schwingen, the swiss system of grappling/throwing and it is a much more indepth site with tech pics and history.

Fast Wrestling has a lot of cousins.

Wow. Pretty cool. There sure is a lot of technical similarity in some of the photos.
