On October 21-23, the European Kurash Confederation held refereeing and coaching seminars of the International Kurash Institute within the framework of the Continental senior, junior, cadets held in Kozani, Greece.
The Institute has also developed several proposals on kurash methods. It is proposed to change the name of the group “kutarib tashla” to “bardor” and the name of the usul “bardor” to “karshi bardor”.
It is also proposed to rename “elka burama usul” into “teskari elka”, and “karshi usul kushsha bir usul” into “karshi kushsha”.
It is proposed to exclude “karshi usul kushsha usul” from the list of methods due to the insecurity of using this method.
The main goal of these changes is to ensure that the methods of teaching kurash are understandable and accessible to everyone.
