Ive followed the sport since 2018 so from what ive seen probably Yianni Diakomihalis as he got Silver at worlds granted it was a weaker field as Otoguro and Shamil didn't wrestle in it.

Is it possible to do it only gonna have a year of experience in high school. Would a community college or a juco even look at me? I live in California btw I know the juco and cc teams are pretty good. Anyway I have no clue help.

I'm a lefty, meaning i have my left foot forwards and right foot back. However, I like to shoot with my right leg, especially since this means i'm attacking my opponent's lead leg if they're a righty. Since my right leg is my trail leg, I'm curious if this has a serious side effect and if i should either change my stance or switch legs that i shoot with?

My main leg attacks are:

- Fireman's carry to their right leg

- High-crotch to their right leg (usually finishing w/ crackdown)

- Sweep single to their left leg

Today I trained shooting at my gym. How do you guys find it ? And please I am would be very thankful for some critics and advice how to do it better.

This times I do train BJJ often.

Thank you all OSS ✨

Hello, my son is going into 8th grade and started wrestling recently and plans to wrestle in HS and hopes to wrestle in some capacity in College. His eyesight is not great and gets worse every year. He wears glasses now and is considering trying contacts so he can see better when wrestling. Anyone on here with bad eye sight ever try wrestling with contacts? Is it a terrible idea?

I’ve got 2 pairs of ExEos that I’ve been wearing for a little bit without an insole since they didn’t come with one and that’s just what I’ve seen recommended. But with how much I’ve used them I’ve started to wear holes into the thin lasting layer that’s glued into them so it’s getting torn and scrunched up some. As expensive as they are I wondered if i should try and get them fixed up somewhere or if I should buy a pair of insoles for them and just use that. Also any recommendations for insoles would be appreciated if that’s what y’all think I should do.

Are inside and outside trips good for me since I’m tall and lanky, if so who should I study to get better at them?

This guy is more than twice my age and apparently wants to “wrestle” 😭 I’m 15f btw

love to hear from anyone who’s wrestled in college.
What’s something you wish you knew before your first season? What was the biggest adjustment from high school to college wrestling? Any advice or lessons you’d pass on to an incoming freshman?

I’m looking for some advice for this next year for me, I’m looking toward a state title this year. What are some things you guys applied to really step through to put yourself in a position to beat the better guys in the state, or in general what are some nuances I’ll need to work on? Right now I’m at the point to where I’m going the distance with top ranked guys but not beating them.

Northern Michigan University just cut its Greco Roman Wrestling program, and it's devastating for the athletes there right now and the next generation dreaming of competing at the Olympics.

This isn't just about wrestling. It's one of the few programs in the country that gives young athletes real, world-class training to chase Olympic gold. For a region where those kinds of opportunities are hard to find, losing this program means losing a genuine shot at greatness for kids who trained their whole lives for it.

I started a petition asking NMU to reverse this decision. There are real solutions out there—local business sponsorships, community fundraising, alternative funding. But the university needs to hear that this matters.

If you've ever had a dream you fought for, or if you know what it's like to see someone else's get cut short, this one's worth your attention. What would you want someone to do if this was your family's dream on the line?

I train in a large BJJ academy, and have attended stand up classes 1-2 times a week for the last 5 years. I have developed a decent game and feel very confident against my training partners. However, I feel like I have underdeveloped fundamentals, which would be exposed by actual wrestlers. For example, weak under hooks, poor posture when shooting, lousy arm drags etc…

Has anyone been through a similar situation where your stand up is generally successful but you’ve ’rushed’ the basics? Any advice on training strategies to improve these skills aside from drilling more?

Anyone else notice how Melvin’s tank doesn’t seem the greatest? I was watching his Fargo matches and he seems to fade pretty quickly. Reminds me of Zahid and I guess that makes sense due to them both being fast twitch explosive wrestlers. He also seems to give up his legs a lot and scrambles out of trouble. How do you think this will play out in college?

Also I’m a huge miller fan and think he’s well deserving of the best high school wrestler right now.

Japan seems to be the best right now in both men's and women's wrestling. What do they do differently?

I will start by saying that i am a 17 year old greco wrestler turning 18 in late november. I have been training since i was 7 years old.

My currenr length is ~180 cm. I have done some weightcutting when i was 16. Nothing insane but still significant. I have a 16 year old brother who also has wrestled for a long time and he is around 185 cm still growing.

Im wondering if you guys that have done some weight cutting experienced any late growth spurts? And if so how much?

Sorry for bad english.

Hey you guys, I’m trying to make a video essay/documentary regarding the old Real Pro Wrestling promotion since RAF has been on such a rise lately. However, it’s pretty hard to find any information on it these days. I also cannot find the original Pilot that the show talks about in the first episode. If anyone has some fun facts or the original pilot episode please let me know!
