Why Wrestling...

Individual Sport-Since a wrestler succeeds or fails solely on his or her own efforts on the mat, the sport is a prime developer of fighting spirit, tenacity in the face of adversity and self reliance. Mistakes can’t be covered up by teammates and the coach can’t make decisions for them.

Team Sport-It takes the whole squad, every participant working to their utmost potential and each member supporting one another-to win tournaments and championships.

Demanding sport-Wrestling’s vigorous demands require top physical conditioning and  result in development of co-ordination, greater muscle strength and self confidence.

Sport for Everyone-It’s the only sport where participants of all shapes and sizes can compete against competitors of equal weight. Where else can someone of 100 pounds win a championship in a contact sport.

Safe sport-Wrestling is one of the safest sports one can participate in. There are reasons for this safety.

1. It’s the only sport that takes place on a 1.5 inch+ mat.

2. There is one referee for just two participants.

3. The rules of wrestling are written with the safety of the wrestlers taking paramount importance.
