Also, I though more aggeressive moves and elevation was a characteristic of Greco Roman, not of Freestyle as you say. Have never seen a 5 point throw in Kansas HS Freestyle.

Also, is it not Folkstyle that Kansas youth do from April to July.

Still do not understand, nor did you address, why kids do Folkstyle if they will do Freestyle in MS and HS.

Thanks anyway for not a lot!


You need to learn how to read and comprehend. I explained it "clear as mud" and Curtis Chenoweth gave a little more input. If you've been watching wrestling for 17 years how are you just now finding out the differences?

Also, you've never seen a five point move in Kansas high school "folkstyle"? Have you heard of a Lateral Drops or a Head Lock? Both of these moves typically net 4 to 5 points when executed in a match. Tristen DeShazer and Ross Taplin had two of the best head locks in the state and have used them with much success at the collegiate level. Watch the movie "Vision Quest" it is full of Lat Drops.
