Inside A Division 1 Wrestling Practice At The University Of Michigan

[@Beefry222]

0:57. Run it at 1/4 speed and it's still fast. Props to that young man being a self-made human howitzer round.

[@jacobgalloway9123]

That’s what stood out to me too. That kids fast boy!

[@respeezy]

As a Jiu-Jitsu guy, one of my regrets is I never got to wrestle seriously. I have tremendous respect for the sport and I just love this vid. The athleticism, the hard training, the explosions, the technique, the coaching about taking a moment to reset mentally. Beautifull.

I loved wrestling when I was younger. Biggest thing that sucks is that after HS/college there is nowhere to keep wrestling

[@samiidris7068]

@@random_adlibI feel that is the case with alot of sports in US. Same with Hockey. HS/College system have their advantages but after school, you are done. Then it's better with the world club system.

[@Jordanthecool7]

Same, I currently do judo and it’s very fun, but I just wish my school had wrestling when I was younger . I feel like having the previous wrestling experience would have also helped alot in my judo currently.

[@MtuckerGoBlue]

I miss D1 wrestling. Grinding it out with great teammates, learning together, working off 6-8 pounds of sweat, and having good coaches working you to that next level. It feels great walking out of a practice that you just knew made you a better wrestler at the end of the day.

[@KarmaFlight]

When your coach can actually perform the moves, you know you are blessed! 🙌

[@archclement2902]

Warmest place in Ann Arbor! That struck a nerve. I remember coming in to the wrestling room on cold winter day. It was my home.

[@TommyGMcGee]

This is badass!

[@467076]

This looks hyper competitive. Awesome! What a great environment to push your limits.

[@HitSquadwrestling]

Tommy G! Bro you have taken wrestling to the next level with your channel. I am trying to do the same. I have been wrestling for 5 years and doing youtube for about 6 months, maybe a little more. I have over 300 videos and closing in on 2k subscribers. I post all my matches, wins and losses. I post training videos and some clips from camps too. What I don't have is any interviews with other wrestling youtubers. Bro I am literally a hour and a half north of you. Any way I could do an interview with you for my channel? I know it wouldn't do anything huge for you, but it would be dope for me and my channel. I am 100% sure my parents would drive me down there. If you are busy I completely understand, just thought I would ask. Love the channel, keep doing great!

[@axaviersemien1312]

I regret not sticking with wrestling. wrestled for four years 3 middle school 1.5 high school and some club yet I never realized how much I loved the feeling of hating myself from working so hard. No workout like it and no tougher sport mentally. Wrestling will always be the #1 sport in my heart.

[@ligmaballs0911]

[@ptrainingbytim]

You should try Judo, it’s similar to wrestling in that it’s very takedown focused , so you’d like it a lot. The throws are amazing

Love seeing behind the scene footage on all sports , just so happens that collage wrestling is my favorite !

[@AnthonyRecenello]

This is why they’re among the best in the world. Great coaches and great training. Reminds me of high school in Randolph, NJ.

[@jasonbell9975]

I went to the University of Michigan wrestling camp back in the summer of 1989 between my freshman and sophmore year of high school. There were hundreds of kids there. My record went from 6-10 as a freshman to 16-8 as a sophmore because of that camp. The head coach was all class. He gave me a ride to Ann Arbors' tiny airport for my parents to get me when camp ended. Looong time ago, but a great experience and great program

[@calpape]

Kevin Jackson is such a boss.

[@take1sultan]

[@beautiful80sladies22]

Dig the music. Wrestling is not for everybody. The level of dedication is way up there. Respects to those who do it

[@aarontaylor6889]

[@joshuacooper1899]

I think its great that these young athletes are working hard and putting in the effort. They are really going to make something of themselves. Keep up the good work!

[@lucasdominichini3095]

These coaches look so involved and so motivating. Good work!

[@TrueBagPipeRock]

good coaching. good system. I almost care about that more than any specific sport. When you see a coach and staff that has the system, the stations, the drills, the stop watch, the segmentation, the gauntlet, when you see that kind of organization, you want people you care about to have that kind of experience and be a part of a program like that.

[@jackjack4412]

1000% agree

[@boblob3509]

I don't watch wrestling at all but this channel seems to do a dang good job promoting the sport and it's athletes

[@Tkenny35]

Good thing they posted this to see the practice because what we saw from Cam Amine vs Penn State was so sad. I never seen him get manhandled like that before. 4 stall calls!

[@mopsman]

They didn't let FLO film the running away and stalling drills. Per the Penn State match that' all they know how to do.

[@killercour]

What a great coach

[@mightymorodgers-uy7hw]

I wrestled. In fact I was state champion in high school in middle weight in Indiana. . Had a college wrestling scholarship too. Wrestling is an intense muscular driven sport. And I took to it like a fish to water. And I didn’t try out until my junior year in high school. My only regret I didn’t stay at it in college and develop enough to go to The Olympics.

[@richieb3356]

Wish I hadn't quit wrestling as a kid. Such a good sport and gets you in shape.

[@numbersandsports4206]

The program's explosiveness is on another level.

[@mohanad0408]

I mean... if you wrestle at this or near this level, any other sport you enter, you will have a major physical and mental advantage.

We have so many Olympic studs in the USA. Love Jackson.

[@BookMunee]

As a bjj fan and fluent practitioner I wish gyms like these allowed occasional walk ins so I can make up time for not sticking with this stuff in high school. Wrestling is a key piece of missed opportunity in bjj and I wish there were more clinics for it to the adult public outside of college degrees.

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

They could make a lot of money by opening this up to outsiders and at least providing a secondary class for people who aren't part of the college. Eventually someone's going to do it and make a ton of money off of it and then I'm sure every college is going to jump on it as well. It's just an obvious way to make more money and grow the sport and you don't have to have them interrupt the D1 class, just put everyone else in a separate class have them be coached by one of the freshmen or sophomore wrestlers who just need more practice. Easy money.

[@FiremanKevin]
