CalebSmithGR Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Pretty good break down as to why some people in Indiana won't wrestle greco at their local tournaments or nationally. And before you argue that greco is useless then please explain to me why the last time I was at the Olympic Training Center a few weeks ago how come almost all of the freestyle national team was joining the Greco practices every afternoon? The national freestyle coaches must not know what they're doing if they're having their guys wrestle Greco... http://www.myrmidontrained.com/blog/2015/2/18/the-top-reasons-why-you-wont-wrestle-greco grecoref, Arrow77 and Y2CJ41 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCWC Coach Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Great article. I don't disagree that 'ignorance' and fear of the unknown is the reason a lot of folks don't wrestle greco. With that said, can you recommend an online resource for folks who would like to learn more about greco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio Jr. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Great way to improve the numbers and community, just insult people...greco has its place We definitely do not focus on it at Brownsburg but our upper echelon guys usually do some to prepare for the bigger off season tournaments they will attend. but the tone in this article is more beneficial to the very pro greco people out there to say "see how much tougher and better we are" not the way to handle it.

Sig40 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 If we really want to grow Greco in Indiana, then ISWA should require wrestlers to attend 2 greco tournaments before they can wrestle at state. If they do this then every kid that participates will place. But seriously the numbers will be even lower this year bc all the kids that won't be at freestyle will definitely not be at greco. backtothemat and IntegratedCarp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were insulted by this article, you are too sensitive. Remember to sugar-coat everything. Everyone is a winner. Participation ribbons for all.

NICfan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I won't wrestle greco because I graduated and am done competing in wrestling. I won't coach greco because the only training I got in greco was like a practice at michiana wrestling academy where fabio basically gave me the cliffsnotes on it, making me not the best option to coach it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
