Yet another outstanding wrestler heading to Penn State.

My dude should probably acknowledge the benefits of being able to see. Incredible skill and athleticism. No purer a competition than freestyle.

That early shot taken from a shot defense posture was a thing of beauty. 👍🏾👏🏾

The sport has evolved so much. These kids are just so good now. There are probably less than a handful of wrestlers from 30+ years ago who could even hang now. John Smith is the only one I think who had a style that would translate well today.

nice work good sportsmanship

I weighed 126 in the 5th grade ?got down to 108 and couldn't lose 3 lbs to plat pee wee football ! We had no jr midget team so i played midget till high school, from 125 to 175 as fresh man ! These guys are so quick it makes it fun watching the underlying chess match ! 😊

Both kids fill out their frame even at 126

126 is the weightclass where the real wrestling starts

Welcome to the channel! I recommend the following website to help with understanding the foundational concepts of Folkstyle wrestling: www.indeewrestling.com/folkstyle-wrestling-rules/ Please feel free to comment any time you have a question not answered above or below: Q. What do {G} and {R} in the video title mean? A. They refer to the green and red ankle bands which the wrestlers wear, and the wristbands which the referee wears, that are used for scoring purposes. Q. Who won the match? A. Those details can be found in the description for each video.

I literally only clicked on this video because of the resolution. What is this? 8k. lol.

Duke is definitely on trt

I remember wrestling in the 9th grade. Probably the best shape I have been in my entire life. Not muscle bound but strong and aerobically fit. Calisthenics were the key but you would be surprised how fast that conditioning goes away if you do not keep it up.

Anecdotally speaking, it probably happens more often when the review is done by an independent reviewer. That being said, I've been in the position as an official where I had to review my own calls and I absolutely have overturned my own calls and taken points back before.

Cory needs to spend a lot more time training. Private lessons will boost his skills even more in 6 months. You cannot move slowly on the mat and expect a victory. Speed is an important key to winning.

Kids lookin strong.

Kid in green was a lot stronger

One thing is for sure having long hair does distract you when wrestling. Another thing it’s all about your body exercising for strength, not weightlifting..

I went undefeated in a wrestling tournament in Vashon Island Washington state. The last guy forfeit because he didn't want to be smashed on the mat. So i won with no contest.

Wrestlers lose front teeth they usually always get black eyes and bloody noses, it's a tough sport.

PJ looks 16. It’s wild to think that this level their trainings and conditioning must be so similar in design, but PJ just manhandles the dude. I’ve never seen a 12 y/o back as shredded and developed as his. 100% on some roids.
