Wrestling Guru - India

Back


April 2007
While other 70 year olds are enjoying their retirement, Ram Dhan runs one of the most respected wrestling schools in India. His strict methods are aimed at turning pupils into great men.

Every day, Ram wakes his young pupils at 4 am to go for a morning run. "Sometimes I have to hit them once or twice because they're lazy", he explains. Boys aren't allowed to eat meat, watch movies, drink alcohol or get married. But pupils feel privileged to be taught by him. "My guru is God-Like to us. He's the only one who can take us to great heights."

they teach a diffrent form of wrestling that is much more related to catch as catch can then its derrivative's of folk,freestyle and greco. they focus much more on the hooking aspect of the match and that isnt even a factor in olympic wrestling.

India with such a big population is poor in sports. Compare it to Cuba.
One reason may be that most of its teachers are old fashioned. Just take the teacher of this video.

The reason actually is that many people aren't rich enough to afford professional training.
Those who are rich mostly prefer to be businessmen as that on average gets you more money. Sometimes children are not allowed to go into sports area as they think chances are slim to make it up to the top few of the world.
