In the 1700s the General Rules of English Wrestling were put together by Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny, Baronet.
Matches were decided by Falls and Foils.
Undisputable Fall = head and shoulders coming to the ground first.
Fall = any two joints at the same time. Such joints of human body as, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles.
Foil = any part of the body down
1 Fall = 3 Foils
Fascinating stuff Ruslan, thank you.
now this is already a fall, two joints are clearly on the ground.
1700s, England.
there are VERY few throws which can lead to an undisputable fall, basically it is the complete somersault, when heels go over head.
