And action….. the wrestling doesn't take long in reality, I guess as long as these two paper ones remained standing in this position. I had great fun and frustration at the same time making this shot ;-)
Can you recognize the one I showed you yesterday? (or see first comment box).
~~~Sumo is a form of competitive full-contact wrestling where a rikishi attempts to force his opponent out of a circular ring or into touching the ground with any body part other than the soles of his feet. Sumo originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally, where it is considered the national sport.~~~

Alligator wrestling started out as a survival technique created by Seminoles to capture and transport live alligators back to their camps for food. It has evolved into a spectator sport. None of the alligators here are harmed and they’re not used for food anymore. Here, Billy Walker subdues an alligator on the Brighton Seminole Reservation, Florida, USA.
Wanted to shoot wrestling for awhile, so I got my chance and went for it. While I was shooting a parent came up to me if I could take some pictures of his son. I gladly agreed, and we continued to chat for a little bit, I gave him my business card and he said, "Wow your Zack Hughes? i have seen your work around before i stumbled across your flickr awhile back, your very talented keep it up, your going places"
I was really shocked and really thankful for his kind words. People like him make me keep going.

THS Matt Gaskins gets tangled up with John Battle Daniel Hughes during wrestling tourney at Viking Hall on Sat.
Bulldogging or Steer wrestling can be a bit of a challenge in terms of getting the players all in. Here the hazer on the outside keeps the steer in line, the cowboy comes off his horse and wrestles the steer to the ground. All 4 hooves down mark the end of the timed event. There are typically 8 events in an officially sanctioned rodeo - I'll probably show you a few more from my night out.
"Garadis" as they are locally called are small training schools for the traditional Indian Wrestling.
This one in particular was over 100 years old. Every stain on the wall had a story to tell but no one to listen to them anymore...
The Indianapolis wrestling team will return to action on Sunday when they host the Greyhound Open. Matches are slated to begin at 9:00 AM Feb 7,2010.
