I’ve done a couple classes of wrestling but it’s an “all levels” gym. And it can be a bit fast. At least for me. They don’t have a fundamentals or beginner class but MMA does. I was wondering if anyone had experience with both. Is it easier to learn the basics and maybe go back to wrestling after some time there? I’m in my 30s. Looking to be the best all around fighter I can be. Not really like competing in wrestling tournaments. But I understand the usefulness.

Do MMA classes teach you enough of stuff like Muay Thai, boxing,wrestling, and bjj so that you don’t necessarily need the individual classes?

So to give some context, I wanted to join wrestling but my counselor told me I can’t change my schedule because the first quarter is done and I won’t get credit for it. I told her it’s ok I don’t need to get the credit but she still refused and told me to talk to the coach about practicing after school which I did and he said yes. I was wondering if I could compete in the tournaments even if I’m not on the official roster I guess? Also I live in Texas and I’m a senior.

I am a coach in VA and I want to learn and/or share with other coaches on this page. Ikigai

What are the practice drills you conduct or learned that you enjoy the most or elicit the biggest jump in technique, mental toughness, endurance, etc in your wrestlers?

Do you wrestle on a school team, college team, club or class?

What is the unspoken culture.

What happens when coach isn't there?

What is the attitude towards people that leave?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there are any fan clubs that hold wrestling watch parties? Specifically Penn state fans in NYC area? Since Big 10 wrestling championships are in Ohio this year - wondering if anyone hosts a watch party?

Hey! So I've been hearing a ton of do's and don'ts about creatine, creatine helped me a LOT during weightlifting, and I was wondering if it'd do the same for wrestling, and if so what are the pro's and cons of it during wrestling? I don't have to cut any weight and I'm about 8 pounds under my weight class.

Anyone know why ?

so I’m a girl, about 115 pounds and I’m about 5’4 so I’m already pretty lean. I wrestled 115 last year and I wanted to go 110 this year… I love eating healthy and I have no problem cutting weight. I waited around 121-122 last year and cut the weight to make 115 but didn’t do it properly, I’m about 18 years old now and I think my body just lost extra fat or something, I don’t know how I lost weight but I’m naturally sitting at 115 now so I obviously wanna drop to the lower weight class. when I was cutting weight last year I would just go cold turkey, and stop eating a couple days before my tournament which I don’t wanna do obviously… so how do I eat throughout the week while still making weight on a Saturday? say it’s Monday before my tournament, how much should I eat and how much should I eat and drink throughout the week? I eat a lot of chicken and I can make lean turkey and rice cakes, etc. I just need to know if i should stop eating as much on like a Friday or something like that.

It takes place on a standard sized wrestling mat.

I’ve been wrestling for 2 months and I haven’t really seen any progress in confidence. How do you learned to not be scared to get hurt.

What could I have done differently? In blue.

Hard to see from this angle but I took a real good headbutt to back of head. Happened at :24 - :26
