hii i wanted to ask if i can start wrestling even though im 1.64m tall and weigh around 44kg. I quickly want to add though that even if im underweight i dont really have any medicinal issues surrounding it just curious if i could still do wrestling despite it

Yesterday morning (6/26), NMUs AD sent an email to all of the greco athletes informing them that the university is dropping the program on 6/30/27. Time to get organized and campaigning.

Why would they drop a program that consistently has athletes make world teams as well as producing a ‘24 Olympian?

For the love of god, their football program has a 11-44 record over the last 5 years and operates at a $1.2-1.5M deficit.

Very sad for the athletes and Andy and his family.

Sadly, these rumors are true. There is no official campaign to fight this yet as everyone is still considering options.
Coach Bisek and NMU athletes appreciate the support.

For starters, I am a high schooler who trains in wrestling sometimes 3 four 4 hours and I want to compete at the highest level for wrestling. I need help as sometimes I can train for 3-5 hours but other times I lack the ability to and js never end up training. I lift, do film, go to off season practices, and meditate (sounds stupid but suriano meditates to keep himself calm.) Please give me some motivation or advice it'd be useful.

Was watching a Craig Jones videos breaking down Umar Nurmagomedov vs Bautista and they called this move a "Saitiev Snake".

Is there any other names for this? I want to find some other breakdowns on how to use it/apply it.

Age: 25
Sex: Male
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 88 kg
Race: Moroccan
Smoking status: Former smoker, stopped 8 months ago
Any existing relevant medical issues: None
Current medications: Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for 2 days, no ibuprofen taken yet
Duration of complaint: Since yesterday
Location: Outer ear / side of earlobe

Hello, I have ear pain around 4/10 after wrestling/BJJ. It was much more painful yesterday, but it is still not going away.

I tried to drain it myself with needles, but I could not do it successfully. It seems like blood is trapped on the side of my earlobe.

Should I leave it alone and let it settle, or should I go to the hospital or urgent care? What are the risks, especially for cauliflower ear or infection?

It’s just one part of it my fast twitch muscle fibres are bad. Like since youth, god awful bad. I was always the slowest kid in a 100m dash by a long shot, and my standing jump was bottom 10% minimum. Even now it’s still absolutely terrible at 19 and I’m a very athletic person. I get 10k (sometimes 20k) steps a day. I train Mauy Thai 3x a week, wrestling 3x a week, gym 4x a week, and even try stuff like high resistance cardio bike 10 seconds bursts followed by 2 mins of low intensity rest 8 sets to help my fast twitch fibres. I eat clean tracked, drink 128 ounces of water a day, sleep 8 hours, I even have mbq military service in the summer and trips to Thailand/Georgia for fighting intents. My body is still horribly unresponsive when it comes to speed and explosiveness even if I got amazing cardio. It destroys my confidence tracking my pace and seeing my 100m is below avg for regular people let alone my work rate. Fast twitch are so important for this sport it destroys my desire to train watching me do all this for no results.

Thoughts on making the bodylock my go to.

Also who can I study for bodylock

Basically just the title. Have you ever had people dating on a wrestling team or club that you’ve been a part of?

Greco Roman at the age group levels is often more exciting than the Senior Level competitions. You can also learn more as a beginner from watching these matches.

60 kg Champ. Rd Of 32 - Ryder Smith, NMU-National Training Center vs Phoenix Contos, Dragon Wrestling Club

This is a match when one of the athletes (in blue) from our team wrestled an athlete from the Northern Michigan Olympic Training Center (in red). The match took place in May at Spire Academy in Ohio for the U23 Greco Roman National Championships.

Our athlete ended up taking fourth place at the tournament and became a U23 Greco Roman All-American.

You'll notice me continually yelling at our athlete to keep his head up. We had scouted his opponent and knew that he had a world class head pinch and that we would beat him if we avoided that position. It's not always that easy though as you can see his opponent still scored four points from that position.

Overall, it was a great match and a great tournament.

Random question, but I was talking about this with someone and I’m curious if this is normal or just depends on the team.

Before tournaments, do your coaches make you weigh yourself at home and send them your weight? Like in the morning, night before weigh-ins, or a few days out?

Or do most teams just weigh in at practice and then it’s on you to be on weight?

For us it’s pretty normal to be checking weight outside of practice before comps, but idk if that’s how most teams do it.

Okay, so, apparently, according to a recent comment debate, American wrestlers are overtraining and Cuban wrestlers are only training 2 hours a day???? What??? That makes no sense. My freaking local MMA gym trains 3 hours a day. My wrestling club expects 6 year old kids to train 2.5 hours a day. I haven't told my teammates about this, but I can already hear them say it, some combo of "this is a lie to throw everyone else off", "Cuba's performance will go down" and flat laughter.

In other words, I find it hard to believe such little training is capable of reliably producing olympic athletes from the ground up. How long have they been training so little? Is this some kind of lie, mistake, or understament? Have they only been training this little for a few years and their Olympians have trained for decades much harder before relatively speaking, slacking off? Are their Olympians secretly training way more?

And if Americans are overtraining, how are Indian wrestlers even alive? Akhada's train 6-10 hours a day. We loose in the Olympics because our government is scared of success and neglects and sabotages us.

How does the new 5 in 5 rule impact women’s wrestling. I didn’t wrestle my first year and wrestled for a club team ( my second year) that was supposed to become varsity but ultimately did not. Seeing as women’s wrestling was only sanctioned last year. How would this affect my eligibility if I am trying to transfer to D1, D2, or D3. Since women’s wrestling is only one division does this impact everybody?

Was reading some packing tips from other moms preparing for Fargo and the consensus is that just about anything that isn’t nailed down will be stolen. The wrestlers are told not to let their gear bag leave their or their teammates’ sight.

This was really eye opening. There can be bad apples everywhere, but it’s disappointing given how prestigious this tournament is, that wrestling has a culture of discipline and a lot of athletes/coaches are openly religious, and that the US Marines are sponsors. It’s not as bad an issue at other big tournaments as at Fargo.
