"Everyone can be engaged in wrestling, to become the wrestler – only persistent and strong-willed".

… Yellow carpet, on which you in private with the rival. Before eyes only his look. In ears only its breath. The slightest carelessness – a throw – and you are won. Here only one god – the referee. And only the wave of his hand will solve who won. For whom it simply game, never win. On a carpet it is necessary to live. At least, three times for two minutes: so much the wrestling duel lasts …

Wrestling is old, as the world. It arose in a primitive-communal system, as one of fixed assets of a survival. The person had to defend the chosen ground, the rivers, the lakes, the caught bird or the killed animal. Later wrestling became an effective remedy of physical development, original blossoming it reached in Ancient Greece where wrestling began to use for education of the strong, dexterous, hardy and strong-willed person.

However us wrestling interests as a modern sport. What it (at first sight, any primitive and not so esthetic) single combat gives to younger generation? What qualities and skills develops? Perhaps also wrestling at all in our century of progress isn't necessary?

- Wrestling is necessary, very useful and interesting! – categorically the free-style wrestling coach and sambo of child junior sports school of Bologoye Sergey Aleksandrovich Toropchin doesn't agree with similar statement of a question. – It develops dexterity. The one who owns wrestling skills and receptions, becomes the self-assured person. Over it won't risk to laugh at school, him hardly will offend on the street, it will be able to reject pressure of hooligans. To carry out reception, it is necessary to learn strong and weaknesses of the opponent that forces to study and not to be afraid attentively of the one who faces you. Agree, it is important not only in sports. One more good skill – ability to count only on itself in difficult situations, after all on a carpet isn't present assistants. And still wrestling cultivates patience. It is absolutely difficult, without rushing like mad to attack, to prepare and productively to carry out reception, having laid the rival on shovels. Such moments are kept in mind! Certainly, on a wrestling mat it is necessary to feel and painful feelings – will be both bruises, and cones.        But it and in usual life enough, it is necessary to be able to suffer …      

The candidate for the master of sports on S.A.Toropchin's free-style wrestling based the section in Bologoye about two years ago. Sergey Aleksandrovich – the skilled sports teacher with 13-year length of service: he trained teams of wrestlers in Spirovsky and Likhoslavlsky areas, among his previous pupils – some prize-winners of the North Western federal district on free-style wrestling and two prize-winners of Superiority of Russia on wrestlinging sambo (this type of single combats includes both wrestling, and shock technicians). In Bologoye Sergey Toropchin while laid the main emphasis on free-style wrestling.As a sport, free-style wrestling appeared after Greek-Roman (classical) It is considered that it arose in England at the end of the 19th century. Unlike "classics" "wrestlers" have more than freedom in a choice of techniques: captures of feet and cutting are allowed. At the beginning of the development this type of wrestling received the most great popularity in the USA, after its steel to develop and other countries. Free-style wrestling is included in the program of Olympic Games since 1904. The most titled Russian wrestler of freestyle – Alexander Medved – the triple Olympic champion and the sevenfold world champion. Twofold Olympic champions and sixfold world champions are Sergey Beloglazov and Arsene Fadzayev, two Olympic gold have also Ivan Yarygin, Levan Tediashvili, Orslan Andiyev, Buvaysar Saytiyev and Makharbek Hadartsev.

Certainly, to bologovsky guys – still to dream and dream of such brilliant records. But Sergey Aleksandrovich's some wards from among the senior young men show already today quite good sports results, successfully acting both on regional, and on interregional levels. So, this year the second places on Superiority of the Tver region won Konstantin Samulevich and Pavel Mastinnikov, the last also became the prize-winner of Superiority of the federal district that granted to it the right to rank assignment "The candidate for the master of sports". Also S. Toropchin trains team of boys, as a part of which children aged from 9 till 12 years.

According to the sports instructor, free-style wrestling is a flexibility and force tandem.  For development of flexibility learning of a big set of gymnastic and acrobatic exercises is used.  Without strong and elastic joints the wrestler has no chances of a victory therefore the equipment of falling and the self-insurance, allowing to avoid traumas is carefully fulfilled.  The respiratory system and the general endurance develop by means of run and outdoor games, and young wrestlers increase force by means of burdenings.

- Certainly, not to everyone is allowed to become the champion, but that regular trainings will make of you physically developed and healthy people it is exact, – Sergey Toropchin is sure. – Wrestling – occupation man's, it will bring to future defenders of the Fatherland only benefit!
