Does anyone know where the shuaijiao-chinese wrestling orginated from?
I love these questions !





Shuai Jiao is the oldest martial art in China.The earliest Chinese term for wrestling, "jǐao dǐ" (horn butting), refers to an ancient sport in which contestants wore horned headgear with which they attempted to butt their opponents. Legend states that "jiao di" was used in 2697 BC by the Yellow Emperor's army to gore the soldiers of a rebel army led by Chi You.





When I was taught Shuai Chaio It always entailed Chin Na. also, we were taught to also had strike as we to enter. In Shuai Chaio the main goal is to throw the opponent hard, at a very akward angles, and possibly breaking something along the way of the throw.





I was taught by my Instructor that Shuai-chiao was used by the bodyguards to the chinese emporers.





Our "drills"consited of full contact sparing , with the understanding a takedown was considered any part


of the body, other than the feet, touching the ground. You only got points for a clean throw, you had to remain on your feet and couldn't be dragged down as well.





Also, once the two competitors "locked up" or made physical contact to initiate/repel, resist, we were given 4 count, if noone had been thrown the competitors were


seperated thus you had to go for the quick clean throw.





Many of the throws are similar to Judo, but sacracfice techniques are not used in sport Shuai Jiao (since whoever hits the ground first loses points). It is also illegal in sport Shuai Jiao to throw opponents with techniques that lock the joints.However , used Chin na and worked with joint locks





Matt Furey is the only non-Chinese to win a shuai-chiao world


championship in China, he's also an NCAA (II?) champion wrestler, and he teaches a combined wrestling/shuai-chiao syllabus. You can email him at mfu@best.com or try him at http://www.combatwrestling.com





You need to be rounded I did, boxing, MT and savate have much better striking. I have also included Judo, BJJ, wrestling , and sambo have superior grappling skills
