Paugh Origins: Ruprecht


(just *a* Ruprecht - temporary photo)

The beginnings of Paugh as a word begin in the home of the Teagues. They would have spontaneous wrestling matches between the brothers... who knows why... but the ultimate move was the Ruprecht. The Ruprecht is a move more subtler than judo, in which instead of using force, you just drape your arms over your opponent limply and let out a long stream of "paaaaauuuuuughghhhghhhhhhhhh" . This would immediately win the match, as the opponent curls into a little ball to escape the terrible paugh slam.

The Ruprecht derives its name from the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in which Steve Martin plays a character of the same name. A careful analysis of his behavior is what unlocked the deadly art of paugh in combat. Good ol' Steve - a man of cunning.
