Fight Slavic-Goritskaya: history, training

The Slavic-Goritsa wrestling is a kind of martial art and sport single combat, which includes four main types and twelve basic styles, which are united by one common name. The main goal of the system is the preparation of a universal fighter capable of fighting in any conditions and by any rules.

Prehistory

The first Slavic martial arts schools appeared in the 3rd century BC. That is, fighting traditions in Russia have a long history. In parallel with combat types of martial arts , the entertaining and playful folk tradition developed. With a clear difference, there was still a connection between these directions: folk amusement was considered the basic school for the preparation of future soldiers.

The oldest kind of struggle is considered to be bearish. It was practiced in the pre-Christian era, when the bear was considered a protector of the genus and referred to the category of totemic animals. It was believed that ritual fights in the fields drove evil spirits away from crops. Bearish wrestling gave rise to such kinds of controversial culture as wrestling, cross, wrestling, arms, etc. Then the belt wrestling became very popular, which is now the official sport.

Prize battles (battles for mortgage) and ship fights were practiced in Russia. A huge influence on the formation of national martial culture was rendered by military classes - the voivod, the boyars, the volunteers. Russian soldiers were taught to fence, fight in armor, throw knives, etc.

A special place in the history of the national martial arts was occupied by yarygs, or berserks (there were also Indo-European peoples). These single soldiers could easily withstand an entire enemy squad. Being in a state of passion, they did not experience fear, did not feel pain and were much more enduring than ordinary fighters.

With the advent of firearms, hand-to-hand combat has lost its former importance. Nevertheless, the popular controversial culture continued to exist and develop.

Founder of the system

And in the beginning of the 80s a new single combat appeared, which was invented by Alexander Belov: the Slavic-Goritskaya struggle. In ancient times, ritual fights were performed on the kurgans of soldiers who died in battle. They were called goritsy. Hence the name of martial arts. Alexander Konstantinovich long time studied folk legends, merrymaking and ceremonies, participating in expeditions to different regions of the North, Siberia, Perm, the Urals and Central Russia. The main material Belov collected thanks to correspondence and personal meetings with people who care and respect the national traditions. They were a real storehouse of knowledge and useful information. As for historical documents, they hardly mention fights, as the church considered them a pagan tradition.

Many people think that the combat that exists at the moment is the re-established Slavic-Goritsa struggle. Belov does not think so. The founder of the system came up with it, composing techniques from different types of Russian struggle, and modified all this in accordance with modern realities.

Types of Combat

The Slavic-Goritsa struggle (training takes several years) includes four main types of combat:

1. Classical

A complex of military operations, carried out in the rack for a long time. The victory is achieved thanks to good technique, and on physical strength. Classical combat is advisable to use against representatives of other schools of martial arts, when for some reason impossible to fight in the stalls.

2. Assault

A set of attacking actions aimed at suppressing any forms of enemy resistance. And the degree of combat and physical training of the enemy is absolutely not important. The assault is based on the study and management of models of human behavior. Very effective in street fighting.

3. Total

A set of technical actions when conducting a battle without rules. To participate in a total duel requires a certain technical training, the emphasis is on fighting with representatives of various martial arts. For example, the Slavic-Goritsa struggle against karate, kickboxing, sambo, judo, etc.

4. Military-applied

Army complex, created to conduct hand-to-hand and small-arms fire at short distances. Includes: swimming and fire training; Special methods of movement and control of the surrounding space; Skills of possession of cold steel; The art of survival in extreme situations.

Basic Styles

Slavic-Goritskaya wrestling (in Moscow and other Russian cities) involves teaching 12 styles:

1. The hem is solely kicked. Hands are used only for protection. The blows and modes of movement are borrowed from European martial arts (Folderskal, Puring, Savat, Chasson), hand-to-hand combat and Slavic dances.

2. Radogora - fighting style with the use of hands. It consists of technical and tactical developments of the Slavic military schools.

3. Rocker - style with a high rate of blows and hands, which is achieved through special plasticity and inertia. This significantly saves the strength of the fighter.

4. Pozem - the style of complex battle on the ground with the use of restraints, coups, creases, strikes, as well as suffocating and painful tricks.

5. Way - a combination of several types of struggle. Includes techniques for total battle and operating time of Russian historical schools.

7. Svil - a system of techniques for evading capture and enemy strikes. Helps to form a fighter in the movement of movements for easy evasion from enemy attacks.

8. Flexible rebuilding - tactical tricks and maneuvering taking into account the stereotypical movements of the enemy, which are characteristic for this or that kind of single combats.

9. Breast - style of combat with the enemy, which excels you physically (in strength, weight, growth).

10. The C-42 is no longer a Slav-Goritsa fight, but a version adapted to combat operations in real conditions. It consists of a complex of the most effective technical methods, special survival skills and methods of guerrilla warfare.

11. Blade fight - the basis of this system was knife triathlon (combat equipment in moving, throwing knives and free fight).

12. Fire fight - a battle with the use of firearms. The basis was the pistol triathlon: aimed shooting, a counter encounter and shooting in the movement.

Competition

Struggle Slavic-Goritskaya - very young single combat. The first All-Union seminar on this discipline was held in 1991 in Kineshma. The Russian championships, as well as regional and city competitions, have been held regularly since 1994. In 1996, Alexander Belov founded the Russian Federation of the Slavic-Goritsa struggle, which united a network of regional unions, clubs and sports-methodical schools. Club "Svarog" is the central school. Every year a rating of the best fighters of Russia is made. The federation has an official website with a lot of useful information. There you can find out where the training takes place in a particular city. To do this, you just need to select the appropriate section, for example, the "Slavic-Goritsa struggle in Lipetsk".

Rules of the competition. General Provisions

Competitions for all the styles described above are conducted according to almost the same rules, except for the breast. The main principle is maximum realism with minimal restrictions on the technique used.

The area of the ring must be at least 36 square meters. M. For a fire fight, this figure is 50 square meters. M.

Slavic-Goritskaya wrestling in the competitive version presupposes the availability of equipment. In all kinds of competitions (except fire and bladed combat), it consists of a cap, a protective helmet and gloves that allow both striking and throwing. If the athlete wishes, protective protector is put on him, and by mutual agreement of participants, devices for protecting forearms, elbows, legs and knees can be used. In the category "hem" you can use a hand shield with an area of 1 square. M.

Knives with a blunt point and blade, as well as protection for the body, are used in bladed combat. In fire fighting - pneumatic pistols, protective equipment and helmets (all this must have the judges).

On the legs of the participants should be light athletic shoes. As for clothes, it is better to choose a special suit that does not restrict movements.

Timing

Battles in the categories "Klinkovoy Boy", "Podol", "Radogora" are held in one 5-minute gathering. In the ranks "Total Duel" and "Classical Combat" the time of one gathering is 30 minutes (juniors 15 minutes). The stoppage of time is carried out solely to assist the injured athlete. The "Assault" 10 ten-second gatherings. In the "Fire Fight" shooting is given for 10 seconds, and for a duel - 10 gatherings.

Weight categories

The struggle between Slavic and Goritsky until 2003 did not have any weight restrictions. In 2004, categories "Podol" and "Radogora" were introduced in accordance with the type of addition:

• Heavy (above 185 cm and heavier than 85 kg);
• Average (up to 185 cm and up to 85 kg of weight);
• Light (up to 170 cm and up to 70 kg of weight).

In other styles, competitions take place without taking into account the growth and weight of the fighters.

Violation of rules and prohibited techniques

Slavic-Goritskaya wrestling (lessons are demonstrated in seminars) has limitations on acceptable methods. But all of them are minimal and connected with the peculiarities of a particular style. For example, in Radogore, kicks are prohibited, and in Podol only they can be attacked. The restrictions on stiffness and on the areas of striking are not applied to the techniques permitted by the rules.

It is forbidden to: bite, scratch, beat on the spine and in the groin, evade the fight, talk during the bout, strike after the fight stops, etc. It is also forbidden to remove protective equipment during the fight. It is not allowed to behave badly towards judges and rivals.

Refereeing

In the competitive version, the Slavic-Goritsa struggle, which is mostly positive, involves the presence of judges. The judiciary consists of three people. For technical actions, the participants of the fight receive points. Charging is based on external credibility, technical cleanliness and correctness of the impact. They take points for untimely, inefficient and inept defensive actions. According to the estimates put forward by the veche, the chief judge awards the combatant a victory (defeat), but does not participate in the rating for technical actions.

During the klink competition, the judiciary chooses and appoints two observers who will closely monitor the actions of the fighters. The observer himself can not stop the battle, but if the competitor has dealt a qualified blow and no one has noticed it, he can turn to the judge (raising his hand) with the demand to stop the fight and listen to his opinion.

Determination of the winner

In all styles (except fire and bladed combat), there are three possible outcomes of a duel:

• Victory by points - awarded to the judiciary after the scoring.
• Winning with advantage - when one of the competitors clearly exceeds the other in terms of technical training or combat capability. Also, this victory is awarded with multiple violations of the rules by one of the rivals.
• Net victory - the opponent refuses or simply can not continue the fight.

In the assault and classic fight for each duel the athlete is charged from 1 to 5 points. This reveals the strongest participant by the results of two fights.

Points are calculated as follows:

Defeat (with a win with an advantage or a clean victory) - minus 3.

The defeat with the opponent's technical or physical advantage is minus 2.

Draw - 0.

Victory by physical superiority - 1.

Winning the technical superiority - 2.

Winning by common indicators - 3.

Victory with obvious superiority - 4.

Net victory - 5.

If the final results of wins are the same, then the judges take into account the points for defeat. Each warning of a violation of the rules, received by the participant during the fight, reduces the rate of his victory by one step.

The actions of the fighters are evaluated by the judiciary in the following parameters:

• Tactical and technical skill in the conduct of battle.
• Defensive skills of a fighter.
• Attacking abilities when striking with arms and legs.

Fire Fight

A triple and single shot - these are the two versions, which include in this category the Slavic-Goritsa struggle. Russian professional fight is, of course, good, but there are situations when fire support is needed.

After the command of the judge "Kon!" The participants go to the site and try to hit the enemy from any distance (but not less than 5 meters). This is given a certain number of shots. During the battle, any methods of movement are allowed (including acrobatic tricks, rolls, rollovers, jumps, running and pitch). You can apply the style of "Svil".

In the firing battle, there is a system of assessments:

• The highest score is hit in the head (any part), neck or throat, the left side or middle of the back (chest), in the right part of the lower abdomen or back.
• The average score is an incoming hit in the knee, thigh, shoulder, collarbone, stomach, right side of back or chest.
• The lowest score is an incoming hit in the forearm / shin or a sliding hit on the body (leg, arm, head).

The winner is determined by summing the points for all the shots produced. A clean victory (early termination of a fight) is counted if the competitor receives the highest score. The victory is recognized with advantage when you receive 2 average points. Technical victory is 3 lower or 1 average point. If the average or higher points are equal, the mutual loss of participants is recognized. Draw is possible if the opponents miss each other or if they have a pair of lower scores.

Geography of single combat and development

At the moment, this kind of single combat is very actively promoted in the cities of Russia. Many books are published on the book market. For example, Andrei Gerashchenko wrote a book on how the Slavic-Goritsa struggle is developing in Vitebsk. But the territory of the Russian Federation is not limited to business. The struggle Slavic-Goritsky has already gone beyond the borders of our country. It exists in some CIS countries (Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) and far abroad. For example, in Italy, seminars are held on a regular basis, in Japan a training film was made, and in Bulgaria championships are held.
