Pro Wrestling Basics: How Long Does it Take to Learn?

[@GuzmanTheRevelator]

Just purchased “Toolbox” off Audible. 30 minutes in, and I strenuously recommend it. Audible version’s less than four hours. That’s shorter than binge watching The Mandalorian. and really; who’d The child ever beat? Thanks Mike!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Thanks Jonathan! I'm glad you're digging it, and I hope each of the 4 sections brings you some new ideas to play with in your work. I appreciate ya!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

@@Yushataram Woah, I had no idea there was a training center in Pakistan, that's great!

[@bradharris7704]

25 years, I'm still in the basics.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I think Johnny Saint is a prominent example: when you do the basics better than anyone else...why get complicated?

[@samisonitupou9180]

Shit, I was getting pissed at my coach pushing me too hard. But what you said had kinda put things into perspective. I've worked hard to get here and I'll continue to work hard to succeed here. Till we make it.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I'm glad this could provide some insight, Samisoni!

[@delmerjunior]

Thanks, Mike!

In your honest opinion do you think it's an unrealistic goal to want to become a well known wrestler? Whether it's on the indy scene or National TV?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I don't think it's unrealistic, no. I do think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations. I grew up around a lot of people that were constantly saying things like "if you just work hard enough, and you really want it, you'll get there." And that's false. There's loads of people that work hard enough and "really want it" and never get what they pursued as a goal. Same with people that have parents telling them constantly "you're special." I don't buy into that at all. If you have a realistic expectation, and you construct a feasible plan to get there - then yes, yes you can become a well-known wrestler on the scene.

[@gal4xyislost]

@@TilWeMakeIt I agree. I try to plan things ahead of time and have the plans be logical and realistic and things do tend to work out, so I'm delighted to hear this as a response from you. Thank you for your time

[@theultimatejoe1049]

Thanks Mike for the advice your videos are really helpful I plan to begin training for pro wrestling at 32 I’m 27 now. It has always been my dream to become a professional wrestler. I have to get somethings together in my life before I begin training. Is 32 too old to start and can you either reply to my comment or make a video to help me out thanks again Mike

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I think I covered it. Take this out for a spin and see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIWZmnh3m72ih5I

[@elmk3301]

Could you make a video about the best wrestling schools for foreigners?. Btw Nice video.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

You mean schools in other countries around the world, or somewhere specific?

[@jaredxr101]

Could you by chance make a video giving tips on how to have spots come to mind faster while you’re on the spot? (No pun intended). I’ve had problems while going over matches with coming up with spots, then that leads to my worker giving me specific spots that are kind of hard to remember since I didn’t come up with them for myself.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Hey Jared! Some of what I teach in conjunction with Signature Set Theory covers this. Do you happen to take either of my online seminars on the topic? If so, the worksheet that comes with the Advanced class would be really good to fill out for exactly this purpose.

[@jaredxr101]

@@TilWeMakeIt I actually don’t, but I’ve been thinking about investing in it.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

@@jaredxr101 They'll be available for the next 5 - 6 weeks if you want to jump in. I'll make sure you get all the worksheets that correspond with the classes to help you out.

[@MurfsYT13]

I’d love to know who the student was that completed the entire course in 90 days haha are they successful now? I’m guessing so lol

[@TilWeMakeIt]

He retired a few years ago due to back and neck issues, unfortunately.

[@jonathancoleman3444]

Why do they have some school that are only 8 weeks long?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Great question. It really comes down to two things: curriculum & price point. Some types of curriculums allow you to just train and train until you master something. Other curriculums have a fixed timetable - learn as much as you can in 8 weeks, for example. These are closer to the format of college semesters. You get a fixed number of classes for the price you pay, and no more. Some people prefer one type of curriculum over another, but having options to suit both is smart.

[@JackgarPrime]

Curious if that 90 day student is someone we might know?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Maybe? He wrestled for years as Gran Akuma, then later as AKUMA.

[@JackgarPrime]

@@TilWeMakeIt Oh yeah, I definitely know!
