How Kolat.com Became The Database It Is?

12/9/2014

0 Comments

 
The idea behind KOLAT.COM came to me about 6 months ago.  The process has been a long road to take from and idea to reality for everyone to use as the best wrestling technique database out there.  Originally, I set out to only create the video database for my club members and myself as a training tool.  After seeing it develop and start to come to life, I reflected on what my parents had to do for me when I was young and progressing in the sport.

My father spent his time trying to find me coaches that could train me and increase my technique level.  He took me every where he could to find quality coaching.  Finally it got to a point where the travel and expense was too much and during that time we only had VHS tapes.  The problem with the VHS is that much of the stuff I already knew so I would become very disappointed with the video and never use it again.  The other factor with VHS tapes was that usually only one area of wrestling was discussed.  My database covers all areas and continues to grow in all areas.  I created it with the following blueprint in mind.  When we shoot an offensive series on your feet I will more than likely shoot the defense to that series and so on.

Finally, I got to a level where some of the senior level clubs invited me to training camps and I would use the time to watch and learn from the older guys.  This is where I really began to excel and my level of technique increased dramatically and once again excited me about wrestling.  This reflection is why I decided to go public with the database and give everyone access to its contents.

Technique is one part of wrestling, It's an important part but only one part.  There is an awesome amount of cataloged clips in the database, but my advice is move very slow and focus on what best fits you.  I created the site with technique in mind not style.  I'm laying out everything I came up with, learned, and have seen used.  I might have used some of the technique you see, I might have drilled it in practice, I might have hit it in competition, I might have only used it in practice.  Either way it made me a better and more creative wrestler in competition and helped me throughout my career.

I will at this point add 20 clips a month on anything that I think is important for your growth in the sport.  The two main features you should be aware of when using the site is "search" and "my playlist."  You can search by drilling down and scanning the categories by clicking on the video library or you can simply type in the name of the move you are looking for and the clips will appear that contain your search.  This is wrestling and many moves have many names so I attempted to name everything within a general category name and then labeled moves by motions.  The other important feature is the "my playlist" page.  This is where you can contain your favorite clips and break them into days of the week so as a coach you can plan a week of practice within minutes and know exactly what you are going to cover visually.  If you set up a laptop in the wrestling room, your team could also see what you are going to go over and get a jump on the techniques before you teach them.

If you cant find something do not hesitate to contact me via email and I will either point you in the right direction or shoot the video if it has yet to be created.

Enjoy, learn, take your time and wrestle with confidence!
