Beach Wrestling
Beach Wrestling has been codified by FILA during the Athens Congress in
2004 in order to bring together all the different traditional wrestling styles
practiced on sand and to make them more popular worldwide. Beach Wrestling is
practised in swimming suit within a sand circle of 6m and consists of very
simple rules. A match lasts three minutes and is refereed by a single referee.
To win the match, the wrestler must keep his opponent’s shoulders on the
ground (victory by fall), bring him to the ground twice or push him out of the
competition area twice. This new wrestling style is very popular and
contributes to wrestling being more accessible and festive.
During Beach Wrestling competitions, wrestlers are split into two weight
categories:
* Men -85kg and +85kg
* Women -70kg and +70kg

SOMBO
The word sambo is a Russian abbreviation that means “self-defence without
weapons” (самозащита без оружия). This combat technique was developed by
Vasilii Sergeevich Oshchepkov, one of the pioneers of the soviet judo in the
‘20s. Sambo has around five thousand defence holds from the various national
wrestling styles – Georgian, Tadjik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kirghiz, and Armenian – as
well as from disciplines based in defence. It was officially recognized as a
sport by the National Committee of Physical Culture and Sports on 6 November
1938. The first USSR championship took place in 1939. (from

Yulunga: Traditional Indigenous Games is a selection of games and
activities from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander societies all around

experience aspects of Indigenous culture.
Indigenous games and activities have a rich history as some were recorded
by explorers, government officials, settlers, scientists and missionaries in
the nineteenth century. They have also been past down through generation by
Indigenous Australians. [From the
