does anyone know how to tighten rudis headgear

So just like the title said, I’m looking to start a platform that revolves around the discussion of wrestling and its culture.. it doesn’t have to be a super serious thing. I’m honestly hoping to find friends that I can riff off of. Making funny comments and jokes and stuff like that. Doing reviews on past and current events. I’m seeking out people who have a similar interest for wrestling just as I do. I’m open to all ideas. I’m not trying to be the sole captain of a ship here. as far as the part I play I’m purely seeking out a equal partnership whether it’s two of us or even four of us trying to do this. The goal is to enlighten, as well as entertain the audience we would gain from doing this. I’ve listened to many wrestling podcast and it’s putting me in the mindset of starting my own but i’d rather not do something like this alone even though I probably could I figure it just be more fun doing this with people I can learn from and laugh with along the way. We’d be starting from the ground up but I’m OK with that.

I'm new to wrestling, and I've been wondering if I should focus on playing from bottom position or while at a disadvantaged position against my opp, because most of my time (as a new guy) while wrestling is me being on bottom position, or should I mainly focus on attacks and play from neutral/top position for now to get the hang of things. thanks!

Junior here, this is my second year wrestling and the season begins on the 12th of November, and my first meet will most likely be in early December, the problem is that I haven't been consistently working out. What can I do over the next month at home and at practice to get in shape for my first meet?

Said we have wrestle off and you need to be 3 pounds near your weight class. I am 12 lb over my weightclass and i have to cut 9 lb and i dont want to cut weight for the wrestle off bc i will feel like shit and most likely lose. Any recomendations

Specifically like the practice plans and such

What are some steps I can take to increase my chances of winning my first match? It’s on December 4th, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little afraid of losing. I’m hoping there’s skill-based matchmaking, but I don’t know. I’m still scared I’ll get mopped.

With the college season anew, I'm looking for insight on where to watch some more variety. The Big 10 is an easy one with the Big 10 network and at least usually has 5 matches per dual on Youtube the following day. I can't ever find good video options for WVU and I'd love to follow Bearclaw at UVU this season, both Big 12 at least, but with no conference network.

Where do homers watch or at least listen to these matches? I'm fine watching them later, but even the schools rarely have up to date highlight videos.

I am a senior now and wrestled my sophomore year enjoyed it. Was going to wrestle my junior year but a bunch of drama and one of the coaches wife’s got fired so he quit and this year we have a new coach. but honestly now since I have been watching so much wrestling duels International competitions NCAA I feel like I enjoy watching it more

Hey guys. I have a one year old who loves wrestling already and has body control at a young age that he clearly doesn’t get from dad cause it’s elite haha.

He’s obviously too young now but I am thinking of him being older and being able to wrestle. What age did you have your kids wrestle in an organized manner and was it worth it? Did they burn out if they started real young?

Thanks guys.

So when I do the sweep single, I always get sprawled on my side (my body and the top person are in L shape). I know if I can grab my opponent's near side leg, there are things we can do, for example, circle to behind or cut-back. But what if I can't control the near side leg, like my opponent sprawl on me completely? What should I do in this kind of L-shape sprawl?

This is my first year wrestling and we just finished up our 3rd day of practice. I absolutely love it. It's tough physically and mentally but I can get through it. I did however load up my school schedule with AP classes and my coach generally runs practice for around 2 hours and 45 minutes from 4 to about 7. I know I won't be able to keep up with this schedule in the long run, but I know I'll feel a huge sense of regret if I quit. Any advice on what I should do.

I used to wrestle even at the young age of 3 and 4 I would do very little wrestling practices and I quit when I was 9 and honestly have felt bad ever since as I had no real reason to quit. My dad, brothers, and their dad all wrestled, my dad got d2 offers and one of my uncles got to fight him MMA and are in the hall of fame at the high school they went to (I go to a different high school) and I haven’t really expressed that I want to wrestle again but I don’t want my families legacy to just disappear

The toughness of wrestling has really been weighing on me. Especially since I’m a captain and this is my 4th year. I know the younger guys look at me to be a good example and I try my hardest to excel and be the best but it’s so hard sometimes. During conditioning and live wrestling, being out worked or taken down by a younger wrestler or a newer guy is really demoralizing since I set high standards for myself. Any leadership and mental advice for my last season?

I’m going into my second year of wrestling and for one of our warm ups we do cartwheels. Last year I tried my best to do them but could never do it quite right. This year there are way more people joining the team this year and I’m honestly really embarrassed that I still don’t know how. Any tips?

My coaches said I fine, but I just wanna check

Wrestling is so exhausting. The constant practice, body pain, conditioning on top of hours of wrestling and the fact that it’s everyday. Ima captain of my team so I have to lead and be an example but it’s really weighing on me especially after four years of the sport with minimal off season. Any advice?

is it possible for me to make 106 for my minimum highschool weight at 113 during the test? im unaware of my body fat but im very hydrated and i dont know how the process works since im only a freshman.

This is my first time ever wrestling and im a freshman in highscool. I dont know how to shoot or do a front roll. Can anyone teach me a good way to shoot and forward roll?

Relatives said they found this somewhere and have no idea where it came from. I have tried researching myself but have not been able to find anything convincing. Whose medal is this?

Super new to wrestling but I’m worried that I got ringworm and need some opinions if it is or isn’t

I’m very good at scrambling and once I can get my opponent down I’m quite skilled but I struggle with actually getting a takedown even though I’m not slow

so this is my first year wrestling and I wrestled during the summer in the 138 weight class and I lost a lot of weight and now I’m 133 and I need to know how I can gain a little more weight before season starts (nov 25) i know it’s not much wait to gain but it can get a little difficult, should i bulk? if i do give me some recommendations please ive also been going to the gym and im 4’11 so im not sure if that helps with anything.

I’ve came here many times before today to discuss my concerns about joining wrestling. But today, I attended my first practice (off season). I am glad to say it went well! I am looking up to continuing wrestling.
