Each year Scottish Backhold Wrestling is hosted by C4 Grappling - Glen Innes & Inverell - Brazilian Jiu jitsu and Judo at the Australian Celtic Festival. Here Charlie from C4 Grappling Glen Innes & Inverell tells us a little about Scottish Backhold Wrestling.

"Scottish Backhold Wrestling is a style of folk wrestling originating in Scotland. The wrestlers grip each other around the waist at the back, arms entwined, and the chin resting on the shoulder. When the referee is sure that both wrestlers have taken a firm grip, they shout "hold" and the bout starts. Should either wrestler break their hold or touch the ground with any part of his body except their feet, they lose.

There are many clubs around Scotland that coach and practice Scottish Backhold Wrestling with popular clubs from Edinburgh, Carnoustie, Glasgow and Hamilton. There are many Highland Games through the summer months which attract athletes to come and compete from all over the world. Countries such as France, Iceland, America, England and many more represent their countries annually in the hopes to win a prestigious title"

50 degrees in the Inverell Shed (will be insulated next month) and these mad people asked for a gi session🤣 Same again next day in Glen Innes. So it was a little taste of 'Shochu-geiko' -- a traditional Japanese martial arts practice of intense training during the hottest days of summer, to build mental toughness, discipline, and physical endurance by training under adverse conditions. Good times! ps. check the mat layout
