Styles of
wrestling...
There are two
"international" wrestling styles performed in the Olympic games under
the supervision of FILA: Freestyle and Greco-Roman. These two
styles are practiced internationally. A
similar style commonly known as Collegiate or Folkstyle is the
predominate form of scholastic wrestling in the United States and is
found in high schools, colleges and clubs.
Folkstyle Wrestling
Many schools in the
United States do not offer wrestling until High School but clubs can
provide opportunity for younger children to participate from the age of
5 years old. Most wrestling clubs will divide children into different
age groups and weights.
Private lessons will cost
anywhere from 50-80 dollars per 1 hour session. Group lessons can
run from 25- 60 dollars per 1 hour session.
Wrestling gear
for Folkstyle includes wrestling shoes, headgear and a singlet.
Wrestlers of all ages can
compete in weekly, season tournaments held in most metropolitan areas in
the United States. Wrestling tournaments can last for 4 to 6 hours and you may have as many as ten in a season.
