Whenever I wrestle whether folk style or freestyle I just say to myself “make them eat the mat and don’t let your back touch the ground n do not get caught in base” that’s all it is rlly to it 😂

You're right, I feel dumber after watching this.

[@zoidsfan12]

Dude I am glad to have this. I was saying I was doing grecco roman for years because all I remembered was it wasn't freestyle because I couldn't grab for the ankles etc. No-one told me I was folkstyle wrestler lol. Now I know and now I won't be looking like a moron saying that I was a grecco roman wrestler and then talking about how much I love double leg takedowns.

[@briansucks8885]

current folk style wrestler here, you wrestled greco, folkstyle legalizes all leg attacks

[@kickinwinghotboi883]

@@briansucks8885 If he has double leg takedowns then he is absolutely NOT Greco-Roman. In Greco-Roman wrestling, you can't use any sort of move or attack on the legs at all. Strictly upper body, which is why they use throws like the Suplex, although I believe they call it a Suple or Supley, something like that. So yeah, he's definitely not Greco-Roman if he's hitting double legs

To any new wrestlers, my son has a youtube channel called HITSQUAD WRESTLING and post his matches, workouts, and some "how to" type videos as well. He just turned 14 and will be going in as a freshman this season but has been wrestling for 5 years.

[@michaelm9871]

The only real difference I heard was the 3 points of contact = takedown in folkstyle.

[@nrm0051]

Also the exposure, you only have to break 90, it’s instant 2 since you don’t have to hold them there, you don’t have to change grip to be awarded points, also there’s no locking hands and no rules on slams, and a push out is 1 point

[@AuraKnight8]

When I did Freestyle I learned more ways to take an opponent down which some of them can become very intimidating and sometimes you need to know folkstyle before you learn it. Like most of freestyle has the same moves that folkstyle has but the moves are more extreme. So like a folkstyle double leg is driving them to the Mat but in freestyle your Double leg can mostly make them fly to the mat! Like I’ve seen people during practice in folkstyle take a move and do it correctly but accidentally doing in freestyle. Story time: back when I was doing folkstyle wrestling the coach taught us how to twist someone onto the mat while standing. One of the Students did it right but instead of pulling them down they used so much force that they threw them back over their shoulder like if they were a barrel! They asked the coach if they did it right but the coach replied “you did it correctly but not for folkstyle” I also accidentally did an extreme move. When I was doing a double leg I accidentally thrusted a student so hard they they went diagonal up like maybe around 110° angle like a little obtuse slightly upwards into the air before being dumped downwards. Which in that moment I didn’t realize he was lifted 3ft off the ground until I looked at him while he was on the ground. Everyone looked at me and said “how’d you do that?” Because in wrestling, Just like Judo you don’t notice the move because your using leverage so it’s not hard when you do it correctly. But from being lifted from your opponent you don’t have control and you get taken down pretty fast. Just like a rollercoaster loop you don’t even notice you’ve been lifted off the ground during a takedown. The takedowns aren’t the things that hurt… it’s what’s after that hurts… you being in a cradle! That’s why I said they have the same moves but one is just more extreme.

First of all for folk style you gotta keep them on there back for a count of 5 to get five points and they’ll count to five if your on your back and not pinned

I prefer folkstyle but both are cool to watch and fun. I am more well versed in folkstyle and competed in it in highschool. i wanted to continue vut college isnt for me. Now as an adult male i want to start training again just to keep in shape and brush up on takedowns and take down defense (i work in a job with a high possibility of being assaulted) but there is like no schools to practice any style of wrestling near me.

What about the throws??

[@jeffayers65]

In freestyle if you get 2 points for exposure and then immediately get a takedown you get 2. But if you get a takedown then expose them to their back you get 4 [2 TD and 2 back].... how does that make sense?

[@aresthompson4567]

If you get exposure while scrambling it's 2 then if you finish the scramble on top it's nothing for you unless you expose them again.

[@choiboi23]

is that guy on the left ok?

[@gavinverth975]

"clasping"[locking hands] is a TERRIBLE rule that puts our american athletes at a serious disadvantage in every other grappling contest conceivable. Why do americans make up their own "folkstyle" rules instead of just adopting olympic freestyle or greco!? No wonder the sport never got any support in this country, silly fiddling with an ancient sports rules.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

American folkstyle is based on catch which came around before either Olympic style, and allows locking hands. Folkstyle is right in the name, it's uniquely American, just like other countries have their own folkstyles

[@zoogie980]

Id argue that its an advantage if transitioning to mma but you’re right, doesn’t help with high level Olympic wrestling.

[@smooveking773]

Why have points?? Just choke or submit.

[@elliotperkin4481]

Because that’s not wrestling, that’s jiu jitsu. And jiu jitsu wouldn’t work with the wrestling point system as if you try and work a triangle choke off ur back you’ll be pinned. It’s like saying why don’t you head kick a guy in a boxing match

[@tichtran664]

There is catch WRESTLING. Where is pin or SUBMISSION.

[@KyleYonan]

[@thegermankickboxer8493]

I‘ve a question Is wrestling one of those martial arts that have techniques that you don‘t have to practice because they‘re not hard to doe?

[@Jason-io8pe]

No not at all. Every technique you want to use you need to practice until it sticks. That goes for every martial arts worth learning.

[@dresnio1363]

For wrestling you should drill the move over and over again until you get it, and still keep on doing it.

[@p.z.arnott2329]

iN Simply put, you should always practice because if you go into a match without practicing, you're gonna get f'd up because of it.
