Wrestling is among the oldest competitions in the world. Although it is difficult to definitively trace wrestling back to a specific culture, the Greek and Roman civilizations clearly contributed to the sport. Wrestling is a great way for kids to reduce stress and build confidence. Training in this sport can help improve Strength, Agility, Coordination, Conditioning, and Flexibility. |
Grapplin' Gorillas offers wrestling instruction for boys and girls, grades K-12. Beginning wrestlers learn the basics plus rules and scoring. Intermediate wrestlers learn to fine-tune their understanding and execution of the basics. For advanced wrestlers, we offer more challenging training approaches and variations to moves that will help them reach the next level for the upcoming season. Our participants are educated regarding the different styles of wrestling, but Folk Style Wrestling is the foundation of instruction.
Our Junior Grapplin' Gorillas begin to wrestle in Kindergarten. As they move through the early grades, these participants are taught the basics while enjoying fun games and activities.
The exercises at all levels reinforce the fundamentals and provide a complete overall workout that is age appropriate. Thorough stretching is included in our program. Our games and activities include the use of ropes, dummies, weighted rubber balls, and large training balls. The Grapplin' Gorillas program is an ideal way for kids to have fun and acquire skills useful to any sport!
