Turkish Oil Wrestling

[AJ Camacho]

Yeah, not that kind. It's dudes. I know, I know, I watched this clip initially as a joke but then I kept watching for what upper body grips they preferred in various positions since grappling in oil is probably 10 times harder than no gi.



Don't worry, other people will probably post female oil wrestling just to balance out the macho quotient of this thread.

This is where GSP got the idea vs BJ Penn then!

Hmm..skipping to 2:40

Its pretty facinating the dfferent things different cultures come up with. I'm pretty sure if I were to reach down someones pants for a better grip on them I wouldn't have many people rolling with me after that.

Haha.. upper body grip dude, upper body grip. Yeah, I don't get the pants thing either.

Do you think they practice in the Gi to build up a foundation?

[Mike Noronowicz]

too slippery !!! its slippery enough at class when grappling all the sweat guys just slide out of stuff

Actually I think they practice in snuggies with tube socks rubber banded around their junk. Extra grips.
