Greco-Roman & Oil Wrestling! ::

Amazing, exhilarating, highly masculine event!

Looking for an excuse to get sweaty with other men? Fan of the rough and tumble? You don't have to be Dom, sub, kinky, or experienced for this beginner level class.

As adults, we won't often get permission to roughhouse as we once did in our youths. Wrestling or Playfighting is a way of taking this fun sport to a safe space.

In this class you will learn Greco-Roman style maneuvers to properly control and contain your partner with physical techniques. Switch roles and take turns fighting for top. With the assistance of trained MMA professionals you will learn takedowns, holds, and strategies to overpower your partner.

Full set of rules, warm up and safety will be given by the instructor during part 1, which is clothing optional wrestling technique instruction:

7-8:30pm is part 1:
Warm ups:
Few drills, lifts, pummeling, penetration step, rolls and holds: bear hug, clinch, turk, leg-riding, cradle, clasp, whizzer, crabs, grapevines, open/closed guard, nelsons, arm bars, pry, wrist control, tilts, gut-wrench, toe pick, drags, locks and escapes.  How to do each move safely and with care whether the intention is to train, improve, or be affectionate, should never be to cause harm.  Above all else to have fun with the movement.

Techniques in throws and takedowns left for another session.

Rules:
Ancient Greek Palé has two styles with point systems that are quite simple.  The game is very fast and can incorporate technique from Mixed martial arts, Sumo, freestyle, BrazilianJiuJitsu submission grappling, or folkstyle.  
Ortho-palé:
Submission, Pin, or 3 points wins the match.  
Points scored by forcing opponent on a shoulder, a hip, back or out of bounds.  No winding back movements of any kind, biting, spitting, eye-gouging, striking, or deliberate grabbing of the groin, hair, face, ears.  Tap outs MUST BE RESPECTED and ends the match immediately.

Any Stalemate leads to Kato-Palé, or gound grappling to tap out submission for win.  For safety reasons, WILL NOT hold a pankration, or no-holds-barred with stakes session
Ending:
Cool down with partner stretching and proper body alignment.
