Welcome to the world of Wrestling

The giant world of wrestling is basically unknown to the common person. i am here to shed some light on the secrets of the sport that many people wouldn't know. First things first wrestling is one of the only sports that is a team sport and is also an individual sport. This means that you don't rely on anyone to help you your on your own the entire time. there are many different rules for the sport which i will go over throughout this semester, but the subject that i would really like to specify on is the amount of training, hard work and discipline, and the massive weight cutting each and every wrestler is exposed to.

There are 15 weight classes in the high school division and 10 in the college level. A wrestler must be below a certain weight in order to wrestle in that weight class. this calls for serious dieting and exercise to always maintain a specific bodyweight. It builds character, but it is also very harmful to ones health if you don't cut right. there have been many serious injury's and even deaths that have occurred because of cutting weight, so there have been many rules added for the safety of the wrestlers.


All the rules are very complicated and will be saved for another post. In general I would just like to say that compared to other sports wrestling is in a league of its own.
