Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Metro Classic Updates

If MO wants to put a stud wrestler out there and have him wrestle a guy that normally wrestles 2 classes above him, then that's their mistake. Maybe they don't realize how tough it is to wrestles up, even if you're top knotch.

The only person that can wrestle up effectively at a middle weight is Saitiev. The proof is in his '98 European Championship in which he wrestled up 24lbs from his normal weight of 74kg. If you're not Saitiev, and you're wrestling up 2 weight classes, then you might as well be Joe Blo and plan to go home early. That's no joke.

Wow that’s an idea we can have intermission and the opposing fans will have to line up and shake hands.

We don't shake the coaches hands at all until AFTER the match

Sorry to pass along this news to you, but our kids WILL shake hands with their practice partner after EVERY live go we do also. It takes a tremendous amount of energy, so we use it as part of our conditioning....

Kids should use a fist bump instead of a hand shake, essentially for the reduction of the spread of H1N1. But, while practicing, the hand shake could be used for conditioning purposes. The fist bump doesn't take nearly as much energy.
