Old Practice of Rugby

Rugby stemmed from the United Kingdom, and rugby football was its original name, which was short for rugby. Because the ball looked like an olive, so it was called "football" in China. Rugby was actually a city in the central England. The rugby school was the birthplace of rugby football. There was a stone tablet in the school, which read" Commemorating the brave action of W. W. Ellis". It is said that one of its student, Ellis, once in a football match, held the ball to run as a fault under an emergency in 1823. This made the other players to follow. Although this was out of bound, it gave people a new inspiration. In Britain and the commonwealth regions, rugby attracted the interests of people who liked doing sports all over the world. Over the years, it was gradually accepted by people. So, a new sport with great importance of exercise and with the advantages in your body's comprehensive development, derived from the football.After 1839; rugby developed at Cambridge University little by little and opened the rugby football club in succession. The interschool competitions also got active. UK set up the Football Association in 1871, soon this sport spread quickly to European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In 1886, the International Football Federation was established. In 1906, the International Football competition was held in France.When the British football transmitted to other countries, it changed constantly. Different forms of rugby also created by many other countries, like the United States, Canada and Australia. But the venue, equipment, rules, clothing, participate numbers and the ball's size, as well as the competition methods were all different. It could be, roughly, sorted into two kinds; British Rugby (also called soft football) and American football (also called the hard football). Its different styles and play methods won themselves the interesting nicknames. British rugby was called "A gentleman plays the savage sport".The rugby players didn't wear guards. They basically used the clothes of football players, so, it was called the hard football. American football was slightly smaller than rugby, so it was easy to pass the ball.Rugby could provide the military training with much assistance, particularly in physical training. Because rugby game required the team spirit of tenaciously combat to win. Therefore, this sport was greatly extended in the army with its popularity. For this reason, rugby won the "ball of army" reputation in western countries. Nowadays, some of the individual universities also have their good rugby teams in China.In people's point of view, rugby was a violent sport. Because when you compare rugby with some sports, such as basketball, soccer and other popular sports in United States, many violent collisions would be actually happen. Instead of the prohibited grapping-rugby style, to play the ball with both hands is a better choice in the campuses of American. Most PE classes all use the type of hands-touch. But after school, they can play the grapping method under the circumstances of equipment and guidance. In addition, the intense body collision and high risk would put pressure on women, so it is unable to attract women. Women always have high risk in competitions because of the insufficiency of muscles and weights. The balls which need grip give the strong and quick players more advantages. What we have discussed above has already caused controversy, so in the past few decades, rugby and dodge ball, wresting, hockey and boxing has been listed as violence.
