I have 2 boys 9 and 11 that want to wrestle some this summer. This was their second season of wrestling and I am not sure of the difference beteween styles or if it is ok to mix the two. I haven't been able to locate any place close to our town for Freestyle does any one know of a freestlye club near Independence, KS??? Any information would be great!! Thanks

Kevin Son from Parsons usually does FS/ GR. Do you know him? Also, you could contact Danny O'Hara from Columbus. His daughter and son FS and he knows everybody. If you don't know how to find these guys. PM me and I will find their info.

Thank you for your help, I don't know either of them and any help would be great!! Is Freestyle completly different than Folkstyle? I guess what I am askin is will it be hard for the boys to pick up on and is it ok to do both?

It is great to do both and they are definitely old enough to do both. Ask any great wrestler or coach and I think they will recommend summer wrestling. YOU KNOW...Summer wrestling makes winter Champs!!!!!!!!!! I will look up these guys numbers and email you.

Coach Ed just told me that they also are having FS/ GR in Parsons. If it is true the coach is AWESOME. I will confirm today. Also has people asking from Fredonia. If any of you guys in SEK are planning FS/GR PLEASE POST cuz I have girls and guys that want to come.

Try contacting the coaching staff @ LCC. I am sure someone there can help.

My daughter is going to Body Bar Nationals and needs a club closer then Wichita to wrestle (with school practices until 6 that's too far) and my son needs to wrestle this summer to be better for next winter. We also would be interested in a freestyle club in Parsons. Thanks for any help.

If Kenny Taylor Jr is running a program I would strongly suggest for anyone who hasn't learned from him as of yet to become a sponge for what he has to offer in terms of technique and wrestling strategy. He is one of the greatest ambasadors for our sport in the state of Kansas.... it's just too bad he isn't up here around the KC area to whip our kids in shape.

Seriously, Wichita area people, if Kenny Taylor is running something send your children to him. He is an excellent coach and wrestler.
