Basics of Martial Arts (Judo, Sambo, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Fights)

In the first lesson, students are presented with the content, objectives and expected results of the study course. The evaluation criteria and the requirements for successful course completion are explained. Particular attention is paid to safety regulations during practical classes, highlighting their importance for the health and well-being of students.

There is a general overview of grappling wrestling sports – their history, development and importance in the context of modern sport. Different disciplines of martial arts (such as judo, sambo, freestyle wrestling, Greek Roman, mixed martial, etc.), their basic principles, techniques and objectives are considered. The contribution of martial arts to physical fitness, self-discipline and psychological resilience is underlined.

In the lesson, students improve the correct combat posture and mobility technique in different directions, maintaining balance and control. Basic principles in gripping and taking your opponent out of balance are learnt. In addition, acrobatics exercises are performed to improve coordination and various fall techniques are strengthened to ensure safe operation during combat.

The classes aim to develop and strengthen the correct fighting stance, effective movement, grips and removal of an opponent in a labile state, as well as elements of acrobatics that promote body coordination and balance ability. Execution of fall techniques is also being improved to ensure movement safety and preparedness for practical combat.

The test takes place in exam form with a certain sequence of exercises: posture, movement, grips, balance removal, acrobatics and fall techniques.

Students perform exercises on a first-come, first-served basis, individually. There must be silence in the hall. Each performance shall be evaluated and recorded taking into account accuracy, safety and technical quality.

In the lesson, students perform special warm-up exercises that develop flexibility, coordination, strength and combat readiness. What follows is learning a sleeper wrestling technique, focusing on cutting techniques and four ways of holding:

• side restraint,
• head restraint,
• cross restraint,
• top restraint (equestrian).

Students learn the skills to control opponents’ lying in position, maintain balance and consolidate a dominant position.

Joint Locking techniques are technical manipulations designed to cause pain in an opponent’s joints to force him to submit or surrender. They are used in wrestling sports such as judo, sambo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu and refer to arm, leg and shoulder joints. In classes, students acquire the fulfilment of these techniques with precision and safety, respecting the principles of control and protection.

In the lesson, students learn the strangulation techniques used in fights to limit an opponent’s breathing or circulation. Focuses on the accuracy, efficiency and safety of the techniques.

In the lesson, students struggle in a parterre (grappling techniques) with little resistance, where techniques they previously learned – techniques of holding, cutting, strangling and pain – are applied. The fighting is conducted in accordance with certain safety rules, highlighting controlled enforcement, technique selection and defensive skills.

During the examination, students demonstrate the ground fighting techniques they have learned: turnovers, holds, joint locks for arms and legs, as well as choking techniques using arms and legs.

The fight section - the stand-up fight - began in that lesson. And the first technique we’ll learn is the forward foot sweep (“foot sweep”).

In this lesson, students learn the hip throw with a back grip – Uki-goshi (Judo). This technique involves rotating the opponent around the hip from the side while maintaining close body contact (“floating hip”). The lesson focuses on analyzing the biomechanics of the throw, including correct posture, grip, off-balancing the opponent, and execution. Emphasis is placed on technical accuracy, movement coordination, and safe partner control during the throw.

In this lesson, students learn the throwing technique O-soto-gari (“major outer reap”). This technique involves toppling the opponent by reaping their leg from the outside with a powerful backward motion. The focus is on understanding and applying correct off-balancing, posture, grip, and sweeping mechanics to execute the throw effectively. Emphasis is placed on technical accuracy, direction of force, and safety during execution.

In class, students learn a throw-over-the-shoulder technique – seoi-nage (judo). The technique involves throwing your opponent over your shoulder by cutting in, bending your body and using leverage principle and inertia. The emphasis is on the accuracy, fluidity and delivery of partner after toss of the technique.

In this lesson, students learn the foot-block throw – Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi (Judo). This technique involves blocking the opponent’s foot while lifting and pulling to unbalance and topple them. The focus is on precise timing, correct foot placement, off-balancing (kuzushi), and safe execution. Emphasis is placed on coordination, control, and smooth application of the technique.

In this class, students take a practical exam where they demonstrate five throwing techniques in motion, performed to both sides. The exam begins with an opening ceremony, followed by the execution of the five throws to the left and right sides, and concludes with a closing ceremony. Each throw is evaluated on both sides, with up to 10 points awarded per side. Both the opening and closing ceremonies are each graded on a 10-point scale. The maximum total score is 120 points. Detailed evaluation criteria will be explained during the lessons.
