this is so helpful for bewildered judo and jiujitsu guys like me

Many people know these basics but I was thinking that a video series like this could help so many understand more about the sport who haven't actually done it. Thank you guys!... hope you learn and enjoy!! 🤙

Definitely a great vid. My 9 yr old just started wrestling and this helped him(and my wife) understand wrestling much better.

I came from Canada do compete in a wrestling tournament. We had never even heard of folk style. Our coach protested the tournament because we were not aware of the rules. The convener said we had to wrestle folk style and we got crushed. In day 2 the appeal came out in our favour and all day 1 results were thrown out and we had to wrestle freestyle. I remember our first wrestler giving a 5 point suplex to an American wrestler and he screamed when he went over. Found out they didn’t like being thrown and we won 10 of 12 matches. I liked the idea of ground wrestling but still like to throw guys and at 6’6” that’s a long way down.

Bro hates folkstyle or sum (early)

I see your hater is still subscribed. On another note, Trent needs to watch out. Alex is getting big. Good job on the video, guys.

Coach, great job! I hope you cover the crackdown too; just like the whizzer position for head inside singles, the crackdown for the high crotch / head outside single is another position that probably needs an explicit explanation on when control is established. Also the stalling rules on the back bodylock (ie, top guy needs to mat return in 5 seconds, cut the guy loose, or get hit with stalling). Folksyle mat work is awesome, and it translates well to MMA and BJJ. Hand fighting, escapes, reversals, mat returns, back bodylocks from standing, emphasis on control, etc. All around it's the most practical mat work of all wrestling styles. That being said, one of the things that I like about freestyle and Greco Roman mat work is that it forces you (when you are on bottom) to defend with nothing but your hips. As the defender you're not allowed to hand fight to block the top guy's offense, so you end up defending mostly with your relative hip positioning (especially in Greco), and that hard-to-teach intuition can help a lot when defending your base in other sports. Folkstyle as a whole is also (in my opinion) safer than freestyle and judo, and WAY safer than Greco Roman, so it's good for kids and casual adults.

I would like to know your opinion on Garry Tonons wrestling.

Garry Tonon is pretty good with his wrestling... he is very exciting to watch!! He is the most exciting grappler of this modern era in my opinion!

Very informative.Enjoyed it !

fantastic beginner video

Absolutely great breakdown. Short, to the point, and excellent visuals with the guys. Thanks gents.

Love it!!!!!! Thank you coach!!!

Thank you for this clear detailed video!

You’re a great teacher!

Thank you I have a tournament tomorrow and I don't know the rules. You're a live saver

Loved this. Super informative and well executed.

Wow, coach! It's like you read my mind and uploaded right away! I've always been interested in it but in Malaysia no one talks about it, and when you bring it up they think you're talking about WWE.

I have learned a lot from this video of yours. Many thanks for giving this video. I'm a new wrestler and your new subscriber

Yeah, I like this a lot. That was really good coach. Never wrestled, but I am interested in learning stuff about it.

Good video. I like the atmosphere wish it had more views.

Great video

Teach me grappling baby here we go!!!

this is awesome, i have been wanting to know the ins and outs of the rules

They should have a pro folkstyle league

Always interested how they score points bcs, all i see is two sports teens locked on....... to breakaway to score one point.... wow.... that... is.... hard...... cos most of the sample i saw its impossible to break free. Thanks to user MIdwest Wrestler not only i learn more how this sport is played out but also damn, finally i know the name of the sport hahahaha. Not just wrestling but folkstyle wrestling. This sport seriously damn tough. Very very physical and scale 1 to 10.... this is a 10 .... super hard sport. Thanks again for the great break down.

Thank you coach!! I feel like this was for me haha

Thank you for the content Coach! If possible I would love to hear your take on setting up takedowns in MMA when fighting opponent with opposite stance eg Southpaw vs Orthodox. I know the single is always there in that case but how about setting up doubles against opposite stance or any other takedowns/entries you recommend? Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the video coach! Jeeezzzz you look like a old geezer in the thumbnail

Hey Brian, I just noticed something new over at the Tristar Gym channel. A subscriber can now "join" the Tristar Gym as well as being a subscriber. $5 a month to "join". You might want to check that out. I haven't seen this before. I will definitely join if you go this route just to let you know🙂.

How many remember when the start lines were moved to where they are now instead of the back foot on the outside of inner circle? Can you go into details about potentially dangerous since I know that has changed a lot since I wrestled in the 80's

I’m gun a try folk wrestling next month for school I’m a freshman in high school and I’m really nervous. Do they expect us to know the rules?

No you learn as you go. And you should do it (if you haven't already) I didn't start Wrestling until my junior year and only wrestled for 2 years, but it was great

We're grappling here in Idaho, be it with limited capacity. How's California?

Bro they say 2 sec but some refs making me pin them for like a whole hour . I’ve lost because of that because he’s tryna break out and I’m using all my energy to pin him and they end up getting out

no wonder I have been confused

Nice wristbands lol

First rule Don't tap

I would have been a way better wrestler if I understood the rules. I had a small stint in middle school and freshman year high school where I was a a pretty decent freshman JV wrestler. If I understood the rules more I probably could have dominated more.

They are brothers, but they don't like each other very much. Right? And the first lesson in folk wrestling is... Make sure you don't like your opponent. That's why I am so bad at bjj. I like all my opponents and spend half the match complimenting them on how good their choke is.
