Discover the powerful and deeply cultural world of Senegalese wrestling through an immersion in a traditional school in Sine Saloum. In this region renowned for its villages, bolongs, wild beaches, and authenticity, you experience training inspired by local practices: respect, technique, rituals, and collective energy. Accessible to beginners, this experience offers a dive into an emblematic sport, surrounded by the natural landscapes of Saloum.
The session begins with a presentation of the fundamentals of Senegalese wrestling, its social role, history, and traditions rooted in rural communities.
This is followed by the warm-up phase, often conducted on the sand:
• Joint mobility,
• Leg strengthening,
• Balance exercises,
• Grounding,
• Coordination work.
Once the body is ready, it’s time for introduction to technical moves:
• Waiting stances,
• Evasion movements,
• Simple shoulder holds,
• Gentle throws suitable for beginners,
• Fully safe ground work.
Training in Sine Saloum generally takes place on the beach, near a bolong, or in a sandy village space, providing an exceptional natural setting.
The session also includes discovering symbolic rituals: calling gestures, ground strikes, chants, or collective encouragements, which are an integral part of wrestling culture in rural areas.
The immersion concludes with a very light opposition game or a guided practical exercise, in a supportive and accessible spirit.
