How to Prepare for Wrestling School (2024)

[@Philmd]

Mike, thanks for your insight. This channel is invaluable to those interested in starting a journey into wrestling.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Thanks Phil, I appreciate that!

[@chadbrisco4042]

Tip #1: No amount of exercise or training can prepare you for the amount of wear, tear and aches you're going to experience from even the simplest of back bumps.

[@lookadamvideos]

Can't wait to meet you some day brother. This video was helpful as always!! Thanks for the direction and wisdom

[@TilWeMakeIt]

You’re welcome- happy to help Adam!

[@Sköt222]

I'm excited to start my journey. I'm planning on going to Jacobs-Prichard Wrestling Academy. I can only imagine what it'll be like. I appreciate this advice. Thank you.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Right on! When do you start?

[@Sköt222]

@@TilWeMakeIt Well, I finish school in about a year. But I've already got the tuition fee taken care of and put to the side in savings. So pretty much as soon as I get out of school. Assuming they accept my application of course. Do you have any tips on how to make the most out of said application btw? That would be much appreciated actually.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

@@Sköt222 I've never heard of a wrestling training center, other than the WWE Performance Center, using an application as part of the process. I do cover that exact thing here though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naWwXmxoq7CVna8

@@TilWeMakeIt yeah, me neither until I read up on the school's website. Thank you for the link btw!

[@dylanpikey42]

Yes sooo exited for Seth's training school. Just a question I've been thinking about. so I heard Drew mcintyre pitched the idea to have him thrown off of the cage, is that real? Cause he came back the next night like nothing happened. And I'm terrified to train with Colby and Marek.

[@MaxWolop]

I am starting after covid here in the uk, can’t wait!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

That's great to hear! Where will you be training?

[@Boaty]

Looking to start training under Jaden Newman at the TWE Performance Combine. This has been a long time coming and I'm so excited to see what i have in me.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I know Jaden! Serious student of the game. Give him my regards!

[@Silver-Kenshi]

Would you say it's at least worth getting some cardiovascular training in before going to a school? As someone that hasn't worked out much my cardio isn't great and I'd really like to keep up in training

[@TilWeMakeIt]

You bet, but the cardio you'll be doing at practice, I think you will discover, will be demanding in a way no other really is - not cycling, swimming or running (to name a few.) How soon will you begin training?

[@Silver-Kenshi]

@@TilWeMakeIt Well originally I was going to give myself 4 months to see what sort of shape I'd be in. But I never even considered the possibility of being able to get that done in a ring. But it definitely sounds more exiting and could help with my experience sooner rather than later. (Also, thank you so much for the reply.)

[@jonathancoleman3444]

@@Silver-Kenshi I just started my training 6 weeks ago cardio is very important I've notice the last two months my body is starting to adjust too the bumps moving pretty good in the ring two but at of all that nothing bets in ring training no matter how Good cardio training you do being in the ring learning to wrestle will get you in shape that's the only way hope this helps bro let me now if have any Questions.

[@Silver-Kenshi]

@@jonathancoleman3444 That's awesome, really hope it goes great for you! And I appreciate the advice. I never thought going straight into training would be possible. I guess what's worried me is being the guy that throws up in the corner on his first day. But I think I should just get over that, I wouldn't be the first and it wouldn't the most embarrassing thing to happen in wrestling

Since I was 7 years I've been wanting to be a wrestler but here in Africa Zambia there is no wrestling schools what can I please do to make it to WWE or to be a wrestler

[@sebozz2046]

I'am actually in a MMA club for 3 more months and then i will have a test day for pro wrestling school. I'am wondering is it best for me to continue with the fighting styles? I heard especially bjj have some in common with wrestling. Or since i dont plan to go further with martial arts i rather do full body lifting workout and cardio to be in greatest shape and look more muscular? since it seems to be important for pro wrestling ? I'am 32 and and in great shape, lean but not very muscular (hence the bb workout), i have a lot of striking experience many competitions in karate kyokushin and muay thai but little in grappling only 6 month in bjj. thanks

[@TilWeMakeIt]

For whatever things BJJ can teach you, most of it you will have to unlearn in pro wrestling school. It may actually make your training harder.

What schools should I go to? I’m welling to go to any school

As a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu I agree as you say preparation in the ring is the best way to prepare I have done cross fit and cardio before going to class it can be tiring

[@matthewbollinger876]

How much training should i do before I start wrestling school. I don’t want to shell out a bunch of money then not be physically able to train

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I wish there was one, absolute answer to that question, but there isn't. Your best bet would be to enroll for a short period of time and see how your body responds, before plunking down a real chunk of change for years of training.

[@mattfisher452]

Listening to the performance part of this video I’m abit confused because normally I am very shy speaking and acting infornt of people but for some reason I feel like it would be different in wrestling because wrestling is what I actually really want to do Is this normal?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Well...I don't think it's abnormal. Wrestling might just be the motivating factor you need to overcome those feelings of shyness.

If WWE calls you for a try-out, then they pay the expenses.

I wanted to join a wrestling school for over a year but when I got in contact with the school they said I had to be 14 to start and I was only 13 at the time but then when I turned 14 corona came and we went into lockdown then after lockdown when I got in contact again with the school because of the speaking out movement they said I had to be 16 to join Do I have to wait till I’m 16 or can I do something about this

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Adam, I'm quite shocked you found a place willing to take on a 16 year old. Generally speaking, 18 is the minimum. Short of relocating to Mexico or Japan, there isn't much you can do about that.

[@Pewpewmotherfer]

@@TilWeMakeIt do you think that maybe because I asked over a year ago they’ll let be away with being 15 because there’s already people who were 14 at the time of them changing the age to 16 and they still train there

[@BeyondTheBlack09]

I guess it kind of goes with having a good ability to improvise, but have you got any tips for dealing with Hecklers? No doubt you've had a few smartasses trying to be funny or put themselves over during a match or an entrance?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Hey Gerry, this is a great question. Especially in an era of social media, there are more and more people at live events (of all kind) that are there to put themselves over, at the expense of the show/the talent/the organization. I would say the real trick is to disarm them, but in a charming way. If it comes off as nasty, the crowd will turn on the performance, and get behind the heckler even more. And that will only embolden them further. An interesting guy to watch for this is British stand-up Jimmy Carr. He alternates between being playful (which comes off as charming and good-natured) and being quite savage with hecklers.
