Wrestler Jassa Patti becomes National Level - Inter University Champion for the year 2016.
Wrestler Jasaa Patti has been improving a lot learning from his past mistakes. Here at Mysore , he indeed performed well and up to expectations. I watched him play at the Senior National Championship 2016, at the KD Jadhav Wrestling Hall, IG Indoor Stadium Complex New Delhi; Where he lost a match with a narrow margin , in the dying moments of the game. The restlessness and impatience in his attacks and defense had gone forever, while fighting with Rubal Jeet Singh another star wrestler of Punjab, in the quarterfinals. He did a great job in the final Golden bout of the 97 Kg event pinning his opponent Anup and winning the game by fall.
Wrestlers Like Jassa Patti are the future of Indian wrestling. They need to be supported by authorities. I firmly believe that if due care is given to their training , India can pose a big challenge in the heavyweight category too.

राष्ट्रीय इंटर यूनिवर्सिटी चैंपियनशिप 2016
मैसूर , कर्नाटका।
पहलवान जस्सा पट्टी बने चैंपियन।
मिटटी की कुश्ती के शानदार रुस्तम खिलाडी जस्सा पट्टी 97 किलोग्राम भार वर्ग में राष्ट्रीय इंटर यूनिवर्सिटी चैंपियन बन गए हैं। हाल ही में उन्हें दिल्ली में आयोजित राष्ट्रिय कुश्ती प्रतियोगिता में शिरकत करते देखा। जिसमे वे एक मैच को अपनी ही गलती से गँवा कर बाहर हो जाते हैं। लेकिन अब ऐसा लगता हैं की मिटटी पर अविजित इस पहलवान ने तेजी से मैट पर भी पकड़ बना ली हैं , और पिछली कमियों को तेजी से सुधार लिया हैं। पंजाब के ही स्टार खिलाडी रुबलजीत सिंह के साथ , उनकी क्वार्टर फाइनल में हुई शानदार कुश्ती इसका प्रमाण देती हैं। अपनी इस कुशलता को अंत तक बनाये रखते हुए इस पहलवान ने फाइनल में अनूप पहलवान को बाई फॉल चित्त कर इस प्रतियोगिता में स्वर्ण पदक जीता। पहलवान को बधाई।
भारत में छोटे वजनो में बेहतरीन पहलवान हैं , जिनसे ओलिंपिक में पदकों की उम्मीद हैं। लेकिन बड़े वजनों में अभी भी अच्छे पहलवानो की कमी खलती हैं। मुझे लगता हैं की जस्सा पट्टी जैसे पहलवानो का खुले दिल से स्वागत होना चाहिए। उन्हें सभी बेहतरीन सुविधाएं मिलनी चाहिए। जिससे ओलिंपिक में बड़े वजन के लिए चुनौती पेश करने के लिए हिन्दुस्तान को लम्बा इन्तेजार न करना पड़े।

Thanks, Pahalwan ji ( Deepak A.P.)

Taking the Plunge. Senior Nationals - Wrestling Championship 2015.

Taking the Plunge.
Senior Nationals - Wrestling Championship 2015.
The year 2015 has faded away with lot of memories in the world of kushtiwrestling. Popularity graph of Indian wrestling has seen a great leap this year. A new dawn of the first day of year 2016 is also pleasant, It promises to begin a whole new era in the future of Kushtiwrestling. For sports persons it takes no time to create Historical feats. Many many wrestlers also actually did it. they stormed the arena with their sheer power and skills and let the watching crowed mesmerized . Jassa Patti is one among them . People used to ask me who fought great battles and glorified the Mud -Arena ( Akhada) entertained the crowed to the core and I simply used to say He is Jassa Patti. There is a long list of wrestlers trailing him. He however remained un-defeated and a big chunk of heavyweights were seen crouching before him.




Jassa Patti who reached at the top of Mudwrestling for the year 2015 has not practiced much on the mat. He is fought traditional wrestling matches most of the year. What happens when he come on the mat ? He is relying purely on his immense strength & endurance. He has got a great stamina but what about the much needed technical skills and expertise on the mat ?







The second bout with Babar. It is a long time since Babar has been training. Training under Vijay Pal Yadav at Bamheta wrestling Academy , which has state of the art facilities , he has become a very good wrestler , a great fighting machine. He is equally well on the Mat and at the Mud. I think he is not a good match for Jassa on the Mud , while on the mat he is more technical and Tactical. Their bouts was going to be a great bout.




In fact I reached late , His first bout was already happened , and it was his second league round fight. The opponent looked strong. Both the wrestler shook hands, with the whistle of the referee they started to play. Within no time Jassa controlled his opponent , overpowered him and scored well. He became more aggressive and within no time pinned his opponent who could do nothing except to submit before the mighty wrestler.






What will Jassa do on the mat. Will his charismatic Charm would remain intact ? or When I reached the Kasaba Jadha Wrestling Hall, Inside IG Indoor Stadium complex. My eyed searched for him. In a corner Jassa stood Calmly , waiting for his bout to begin. I approached him and told him people want to see your perform the same on the mat as you do in the Mud wrestling. He noded and assured me to do his best.





Babar has pinned Benia Ameen , the number one wrestler of Jammu & Kashmir , who also fight at number one position at Punjab also. He has gathered good confidence and enough support for himself. He fought with jassa not only with a great strength but also applied his mind. He did a single leg attach , and pushed Jassa Patti, who stumbled out of the ring. Babar scored two points. But Jassa was not so frazile , he came back and did a great takedown on Babar eventually controlled him and earned two points too. Babar did a leg attack again, this time countered beautifully by Jassa nobody earned a point. Now it was the end of the first half. The second half was going to be more aggressive definitely. And yes it was, while Jassa took offensive , Babar seemed to be calmer , defensive and thinking. Babar punched Jassa's face in defense,Refree pnalised Babar and gave one point in favor of Jassa. Now Jassa was leading 3-2. While Babar was saving himself Jassa tried to disbalance him by hitting his leg but got his balance broken, suddenly Babar flinged into action and attacked on his legs , jassa fell and babar controlled well earning two points for the action. It was 3-4 now. The game changed in favor of Babar. Again babar kept pushing Jassa's head and warned by referee. Babar got penalised again for being defensive and Jassa was given one more point. it was 4-4. two minutes in the final lapse of the bout were remaining, Jassa fights well, he almost remain off gaurds in most of his matches, and fights in standing position , I think Babar Guru Vijaypal has studied it well, that is why Babar kept on attacking on Jassa's leg , this time too he attacked well and did a great take down and scored two more points. it was 6-4 now . only 45 seconds were left .
