Wrestling Guru – India

April 2007 While other 70 year olds are enjoying their retirement, Ram Dhan runs one of the most respected wrestling schools in India. His strict methods are aimed at turning pupils into great men. Every day, Ram wakes his young pupils at 4 am to go for a morning run. “Sometimes I have to hit them once or twice because they’re lazy”, he explains. Boys aren’t allowed to eat meat, watch movies, drink alcohol or get married. But pupils feel privileged to be taught by him. “My guru is God-Like to us. He’s the only one who can take us to great heights.” Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

    India is often associated with beggars and fakirs. Not many in the West especially the United Stats, know that its people rank amogst the most athletic and warlike in the World.

    In India, wrestling is as old as written history. Indian wrestlers are huge men almost as big as the sumo giants of Japan. However, no man can become champion through brute force alone. There are a thousand “holds” in Indian wrestling, and the most skillful grapplers like Great Gama reign supreme.

    His real name was Ghulam Mohammed. A Muslim of Kashmiri wrestling stock. Gama defeated all comers in India with the exception of the extraordinary Ghulam Mohiuddin, with whom he had a two hour draw. His toughest opponent ever, was the 6’9″ 270lb, Rahim Bux Sultaniwala. His victories over foreign wrestlers include Stanislaus Zbyszko (Poland), Dr. Benjamin Roller (U.S.), Johann Lemm (Switzerland), Maurice Deriaz (France), Jesse Peterson (Sweden), etc.

    Although he challenged many others including Japanese judo champion Taro Miyake, no one dared to come forward. Georg Hackenschmidt and Frank Gotch also declined to face Gama or others of his troupe. According to Nat Fleischer of Ring Magazine he was the only grappler of modern times who could have been a master of both Gotch and Hackenschmidt. Gama was employed by the Maharajah of Datia after the death of Gama’s father, Aziz Pehelwan. Later he was patronized by the Maharajah of Patiala.
