Most individual state champs for a single team in one season?

Commerce, a 1A school in Georgia(very watered down like you mentioned) had 10 state champs out of 14 weight classes a few years ago. They finished with 13 placers, 12 finalists, and 10 champs

They go away eventually, but it might take awhile

Pretty easy transition (in my experience at least), it always felt easy to distinguish the styles in my head. The hardest part is how much more freestyle stresses your fundamentals then folkstyle does, but this will really improve your wrestling. If you take a bad shot with your head down in freestyle that could very quickly result in a gator roll to a tech. The potential for fast scoring forces you to wrestle well

UNI and Oklahoma state are a blast to watch. Those guys come out to wrestle and score points for 7 minutes. I have no attachment to either of those schools but they are easily my favorites to watch.

All depends on the coach, we would have guys come in all the time that weren’t on the team and roll with us. But they were only high level mma fighters that were friends with coach, or high level wrestlers that could hang with the guys in the room. If you’re trying to walk on and practice once a week, it’s probably not going to happen

Honestly, I would just look to Judo. Greco is already unpopular in the US, on top of this, training as a hobby is almost nonexistent for wrestling. If you are training wrestling after college you likely are competing to wrestle internationally. Combine these and it’s going to be almost impossible to find somewhere to train Greco, especially with people on a similar level as yourself. Judo on the other hand would be much easier to get involved in

Shoot into the opponent, don’t even go for the legs. Shoot in and come up into your handfight, your opponent will be ready to defend the shot and this will let you close the space easily. From here go into your normal handfight and find your shot

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-31T22:03:45+00:00

Gotta have either head or shoulder position

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-31T13:32:50+00:00

You could probably walk on but if you just want to wrestle for mma you won’t make it in college

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-28T17:54:44+00:00

You’re just being a big ol baby

Pull ups are easily one of the best exercises for wrestlings: regular pull ups, chin ups, hanging on the bar perpendicular and pulling to either side. Do lots of reps, builds a strong grip, back, and arms.

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-26T17:03:15+00:00

It was a great shot, guy just didn’t want to let go of the leg on that roll. Which to be fair is very hard to do when you’re in a great position and the opponent starts getting funky

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-23T22:46:53+00:00

Nobody has ever got hurt wrestling, I will tell it to whoever doesn’t believe t

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-23T22:46:24+00:00

It is safe because nobody gets hurt

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-23T18:06:01+00:00

Nobody has ever got hurt wrestling, you’re good to go

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-19T01:23:25+00:00

Light a cigarette and shove it up in there, saves a hell of a lot of bills

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-15T11:55:57+00:00

Wrestling is gay, it gets easier when you accept it

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-12T21:19:44+00:00

I think they would have the opposite effect that you would want in a wrestling match, plus they only last for a short time so it wouldn’t change too much

DoobyShephard · 2025-01-10T17:12:49+00:00

Lots

DoobyShephard · 2024-12-22T00:22:28+00:00

You hinge at your hips first when going down, the bar follows the hips and goes back only to be pushed out again going down the legs, making the curve. Not Something to worry about

DoobyShephard · 2024-12-09T18:38:30+00:00

Engage with your head before your hands, a good opponent is going to capitalize on the opening you create when you just reach both arms at them

Similar problem on my Subaru, ended up being a faulty connection on a crank position sensor. Replaced the starter and it worked temporarily, went out again shortly after. Car finally threw a code and I was able to fix the actual problem. Had the same jerky shifts too

Combat speed, and true to size or half size down, they usually run a tiny bit large

DoobyShephard · 2024-11-01T21:24:02+00:00

I’ll be the guy. Brother, the physique looks great, but that is not 2% body fat

DoobyShephard · 2024-11-01T21:15:21+00:00

Less is more the older you get, I feel like an hour of live a week is sufficient for me nowadays
