So, are you interested in joining the high school wrestling team or do you want to fight in tournaments? Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the world and is much more difficult than you might think. This article will introduce you to the basics that are practiced in sports, but there are many different types of wrestling, and wrestling is just one of them!

Steps

1. 1 Get your gear. Almost every sport has equipment or clothing that is associated with that sport. What you will need specifically for this sport is listed below.
2. 2 Take a position. Start from a standing position. Then, spread your legs slightly so that you can fit a medium-sized pillow between them. Then, bend your knees and start arching your back. Finally, place your hands in front of you.
3. 3 Keep your center of gravity at the bottom. Positioning your feet shoulder-width apart will help you with this. This will make it much more difficult to knock you down. Distribute your weight between both legs. Stay on the balls of your feet.
4. 4 Practice your fall. First, stand in the starting position. Second, bend down a little and step with your lead foot. Third, drop onto the knee of your dominant leg and drag your non-dominant leg and drop onto the knee of your non-dominant leg. If you are right-handed, you should eventually fall on your right knee. Although, if you've ever struggled, then you can develop a neutral stance and you don't need to have a leading foot, but don't worry about that. Just make sure you are comfortable in your position.
5. 5 If you already belong to a team or club, watch everything the coach does, do not improvise some parts of the find, if you think it will be better, then it is not. If you do not understand the movement, then ask for help from those who do it correctly, and watch how it is done slowly and try to slowly improve the technique yourself, and then gradually accelerate.
6. 6 Learn to grip two legs. Stand in the starting position, then grab your partner. Your "strong leg" or leading foot should be between your opponent's legs and the other on the outside. Your right hand should grab your opponent's left calf muscle (back of the thigh), and your left hand should be on your right muscle. If you are strong enough to lift your opponent, then do it and rest your head on his thigh and tilt him back. If this is still beyond your power, then also rest your head on his thigh, and if everything goes right, he will not hold on and will fall.
7. 7 Learn to fall. Falling apart is a simple fall onto your hip from your position. This will let your legs move out of your position when someone attacks you. Fall from your position and land on your partner with your hip on his back. But you need to train more and more, as always in wrestling. This is the best way to defend against your opponent and start a counter attack.
8. 8 Find out which weight class you are in. Your coach should have statistics on the weight classes of the athletes.
9. 9 Explore. Find wrestling articles like this and read them. There are also many different videos on the internet. Watch them and study them. Many of the best wrestlers have also watched and learned from films and videos. Train what it says.
10. 10 Get stronger and lose weight. Work hard and exercise to lose weight until your coach tells you to stop doing it. Next, you should focus on training in the fitness room to get stronger. How strong you are will definitely help you. Talk to your doctor or trainer to help you get the right exercise schedule and workout.
11. 11 You must be in perfect shape. Wrestling is a physically exhausting sport. You will not understand this until you yourself stand on the mat. Cardio and strength training are the best ways to prepare. The one who is in the best shape will definitely win. Check with your doctor or trainer for a safe exercise schedule.
12. 12 Practice all the details and aspects like wrestling on the floor, etc.because many people don't like it when they don't know what to do. Stabbing in the back is the worst feeling in the world.
13. 13 Finally, don't give up! Wrestling is a difficult sport and can hurt you a lot. You have to fight in spite of the pain. May the strength within you never allow you to lose or surrender.

Tips

• Know your limits. If you are not strong enough to make this or that movement, replace it with some other movement. Many wrestlers are not as strong as they seem, they just have their own proven fighting style. But some of the wrestlers are really strong.
• Practice hones everything to perfection. If you still have insufficient muscle memory during movements, then it is still too early for you to win big competitions. Constant repetition of movements will allow you to instantly react to the situation.
• Learn to change the direction of your movement.
• When you stand in your starting position, your elbows should be between your thighs, but not beyond your thighs, otherwise you may be knocked over.

Warnings

• Wrestling can lead to many different injuries, just like any other sparring sport. Be smart and wear all appropriate equipment.
• Fighting is a huge commitment, and if you want to succeed in this endeavor, the demands will only increase. If you are going to set high goals for yourself, make sure you are willing to work and sacrifice for it. Remember, every success comes at a cost.
• Think positively and believe in yourself! If you don't, you will surely lose.
• It is important to take a hot soapy shower after leaving the gym to prevent skin conditions such as impetigo, ringworm, or staphylococcal infections.
• Throwing a tantrum when you are losing will show you as an immature athlete.
• If you are in a wrestling hall with many other wrestlers / wrestling pairs, it is very important to spread out throughout the hall and give each other enough space. If you bump into another pair during a fight, stop, move over, and then start over.
• If you lost the fight, take it with dignity - if they were strong enough to beat you on the mat, they can just as easily hurt you if you try to get revenge.
• Don't get cocky, just because you know how to fight doesn't mean you can beat someone who doesn't, in which case you will probably end up with a broken nose.
