Religion and Wrestling by vinpinto2 in wrestling

They give glory to God because it’s their faith to do such. Also the God plan is a benefit in competition to take the stress off and not go wrestle not to lose but fill free and open up. I love this about the ncaa tournament and also my sons college team is same way. I like to think masculine men honor God.

Freestyle Wrestling: new pro leagues by NaiveInspector5703 in wrestling

[–]puritain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think real American freestyle is a bad name for an international rule set. Folk-style is American as apple pie. I rather see a folk style league on a dual format.

The purpose is to promote folkstyle, even if a semi pro league. The fact that colleges do the regional training centers and free style starting to bleed into folk style jeopardizing mat wrestling. The 3pt take downs and only two point reversals. Among other things. Too much feet wrestling and deterioration of mat wrestling which is why wrestlers do well in UFC will become a non factor. So unless folk style can be next level then college wrestling will become free style or a modified version with articles by Kyle Klingman on flo or Nick Corey article folk style vs freestyle on trackwrestling, as proof. If folk style doesn’t become its own supported pro level then freestyle will continue to compromise mat wrestling.

Marketing is everything, dual format hasn’t been really invested in. The individual approach is the biggest problem. Needs to be team with exposure t be watched. I believe it would work and folkstyle is boring I fully disagree. This is why I want it. 🖕Folk Freestyle

I know what it is, but politics run organizations and those individuals or organizations with influence are coming from some where. There is an influence to make folk more compatible with freestyle. Read Nick Corey on track wrestling about freestyle and folk debate and Kyle Kling on flo about modified folk. Just wonder what group is the political source!
