Secrets of Kurash Techniques and Refereeing Are Being Taught

At the Kurash Complex of Tashkent State Transport University, the final practical stage of the three-month online course aimed at training international Kurash specialists is ongoing. The next day of the program was rich in both theory and practice.

The day’s program was dedicated to the Supurma(sweep) group of Kurash techniques. Participants are gaining in-depth knowledge and practical skills in this group of techniques, which are among the fundamental elements of Kurash. The Supurma"Sweep” group methods are aimed at influencing the opponent’s leg, disrupting their balance, and bringing them down to the ground.

Kurash Technique represents a unified international system of all technical movements, methods, and combinations in the sport of Kurash. It reflects the main principles of Kurash — namely, Kurash only in a standing position and prohibiting strikes or painful holds.

The afternoon session was devoted to significant organizational and practical topics.

The Secretary General of the International Kurash Association (IKA), Mohammad Reza Nassiri, provided detailed explanations to coaches and referees about the registration system for the licensing examination via the IKA website, as well as the procedures for registering specialists by category during Kurash competitions and other essential processes. This information is of great importance for future experts to conduct their international activities effectively.

After that, the future experts began training sessions dedicated to refereeing rules. The sessions were conducted by the Institute’s experts — Ali Shaherkani, Kim Eurjoong, and Khikmat Kurtov. Refereeing is one of the most critical aspects of any sport, and in Kurash, special attention is given to studying the rules of refereeing based on unified international standards.
