wolfbaden6 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Does anybody who's a member here wrestle? I just want to know how many people enjoy the sport. If you don't know what it is, I'll fill you in on it. Thanks! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dayday Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 No, I haven't but I have always wanted to. My mom would probably deny it. She thinks I act enough like a boy already. But girls can do it too. I don't know why I can't. *mumbles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfbaden6 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 Very cool. not to be sexist or anything but, even though i know that girls wrestle, i never would have expected the first reply in this thread to be from a girl. It's cool though. Try and convince them anyways. Say it builds character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dayday Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 What's wrong with that? It's the same thing. Except when boys jump on top of girls. That gets strange after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogi bear Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 It just seems akward and plus the girls where I come from fight like real street fighters I'm pretty sure some of the can get togther and flip over a car or two :nervous: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfbaden6 Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 The closest style of wrestling to street fighting is called Freestyle. it's anything goes except for punching, kicking, and biting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi bear Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Whats a fight without punching or kicking I thought that was the whole basis for the word fight but as for biting I can understand that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I once actually tried it, and the first wrestling match I signed-up for went bad. My opponent was a kid I absolutely [i]hated[/i] in school, and get it over him once and for all would be the happiest day of my life (then, anyway). And he knew it. We started off, and he suddenly threw a punch... as in, a "fight" punch, and it felt like he knocked my jaw out of my mouth. It went on, smashing him up into the side of a few lockers, and smashing me into tables, when the operator came into the "spare gym" and found us (we ended up in the second gym). He broke it up. I [i]did[/i] get my serving of his flesh, and he did mine. I was more happy than anything after that day. Then I quit the sport. :drunk: I love the sport, though to participate in it, would shake me up permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoKill Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 i wrestled 135lbs in 9th grade. The hardest thing were the practise. So if you are thinking about joining... you better get yourself in the weight room, and start benching. In middle school their were 2 girls that were in wrestling... I dont know about High school tho. It could be possable for a girl to wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pex Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I wrestle, this is my fourth year. The practices are hard, but the it is just different from any other sport. It's a team sport but you dont relie on ur team to help u win. You do it yourself and its the toughest six minutes of your life. I never six minutes could take so long, but thats because its just a pure physical sport of stamina, technnique and strength. It's also a very mental sport. Not many girls I kno wrestle, but the ones that do deserve credit because they work just as hard as any guy out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matto Tradagen Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 [color=navy][i] I havn't joined a team, but I have wrestled in school, during PE. It's alright. Not my favorite sport, but I wouldn't totally mind being on a team. My body is alright for it (164lbs, 5'11), and from the matches i've faced, i've come to realize that i'm much faster than the people on the wrestling team now, who are, for the most part, just large with brute force. My school has both a Male and Female wrestling team, and from watching both, they seem equal in ability. Now, maybe not equal if they were facing a co-ed match,(which would never happen in the first place), but with the opponent's they've went up againtst, they seem to have equal skill. It's not your gender, it's how you train. ~Matto[/color][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfbaden6 Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 1) You're lucky you wrestle in PE 2) There are 3 types of wrestlers that can be explained through animals (cheetahs (speed), chimpanzees (skill), or elephants (strength)) 3) Co-ed matches can happen if it just so happens there is 2 members of the opposite sex wrestling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's outside of a league or something, of course it can happen. I think you misunderstood me. ~Matto[/color][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfbaden6 Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Ok then. There are seperate gender leagues. That's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Maul Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by wolfbaden6 [/i] [B]. . . 2) There are 3 types of wrestlers that can be explained through animals (cheetahs (speed), chimpanzees (skill), or elephants (strength). . . [/B][/QUOTE] I would have to say I'm a chimp(no laughing!) I'm starting my 3rd year this year. We started weight training this week(about 3 months before wrestling even starts!). My favorite moves are the cowboy and the guillitine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
