tentlon before we get down to cases, "
Don't exercise too soon after meals.
At least two hours should elapse before
taking exercise on the mat. Another
thing-dont try to DO too much at first,
Many Of my pupils become interested
In their work and think don't let them
do half enough but If allowed TO keep
1t up they would soon become stale, "
as athletes term 1t. Ten or Is minutes
OF exercise on the mat should be the
limit for the beginner, and you can in
crease the length Of time you wrestle
as you get hardened But above all
things remember what l have already
said and go slow,
II you have never done any gymna-
stun work previously, or at any rate
for some time, you would better prac-
tice with the pulleys and the chest
weights and other such exercisers be-
fore going in for work on the mat.
II possible, get TO work under good
instructor who can teach you the va
rious holds, how to apply them to the
! best advantage and how to avoid and
break those attempted by your oppo-
nent. When wrestling with your COM
panlons choose those Of about your
own weight and strength, as a heavier
man is likely at any time TO do you an
injury until you have attained certain
amount Of ability and experience.
There are different styles OF wrestling
In vogue. but the most ancient and the
one most practiced In America is the
catch as-catch-can. Certain fundamen-
tai rules are essential in all styles, and
Of these you must be master before you
can hope TO become expert.
The successful wrestler must be
master of strategy, for II is often by
taking advantage Of the mistakes OF
ones opponent that fall is won. Re-
member that the proper time to throw
a man Is when he is exertlng his
strength in the direction In which you
wish to topple him. His resistance will
be least then. Here Is where strategy
comes in. But at the same time care
must be exercised not to be caught nap
ping oneself.
II Is very important to keep your ad-
versary unaware Of your intentions.
! Try TO deceive him as to your real
point OF attack until The latest moment
and thus hold him at disadvantage.
When you have your opponent down on
the mat and are the aggressor. keep
him there by means Of your weight.
This will serve the double purpose OF
preventing him changing his position
and will help to wear him out by al
lowing him no rest.
When you have determined on a GER
tain line of action, go through the mo-
tlons quickly and with vim, whether on
the offensive or defensive. Slowness Is
a fatal fault in a wrestler. Keep your
opponent u possible in Ignorance OF
your intention until II has been effect
ed.
When you have the misfortune to be
the under man and are on your hands
