Introduction to Shuai Jiao
Chinese Wrestling Techniques for Self Defense
October 16th Skibo Gym,
7p-9p
GREAT FOR BEGINNERS!
The radical for the Chinese character Shuai is the character for hand
while the phonetic represents a net with a frame such as is used to snare
birds and a rope which is used to make the trap fall. The character Shuai
by extension means to throw to the ground or to shake. Jiao is nowadays
usually given as either the character meaning mutually, so mutually throwing
to the ground is wrestling, or the character meaning the bones of the leg,
suggesting the use of tripping and sweeping in wrestling.
Another variation is the Jiao character meaning horn(s). So Just
like horned animals locked in deadly combat, we as humans use trap/snaring
techniques expressed through the hands to interpret the best way in which
to fell our opponent.
