jos2thehua Posted October 31, 2004 Author Posted October 31, 2004 Yes that is very ture, because in MS and HS wrestling we can shoot in and grab the legs for a takedown. I think its called folk wrestling, but I'm not sure. 90% of teenagers have tried smoking pot OR drinking. If you're one of the 10% who hasn't, copy this and put it in your Signature

Logan Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 In my day it was called freestyle wrestling. I used to wrestle as a lad. Honor all things.
jos2thehua Posted October 31, 2004 Author Posted October 31, 2004 I do know about freestlye wrestling now, but I don't think thats what its called. My brother told me it was folk, but still not so sure. Its ok if no one knows. I just wanted to see if anyone could comferm that it was called folk wrestling. 90% of teenagers have tried smoking pot OR drinking.

tommarker Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I too have heard it called "folk" for lack of a better term. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
jarrettmeyer Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Way back in the day, we called it folk wrestling. In Greco-Roman, there's nothing below the belt. So no shooting the legs for a takedown. IIRC, in freestyle, getting the feet above the head is worth 5 points. The hip throw, crotch lift, and suplex demonstrate control over your opponent, and they all gain you serious points. In Indiana High School Athletic Association wrestling, taking your opponent's feet above his head is considered dangerous and it is an instant disqualification.
