St. Christopher's School Wrestling

It was great to see that we had almost fifty kids sign up and attend the first night of practice for 3Style Wrestling Club last night. The coaches weren't sure how many kids would show up, because of the different clubs in the area that seemed to pop up after we announced our plans for the spring, but with the turnount on Tuesday it looks like people in the Richmond area know that St. Chris is the place to be.

I told all of the kids and parents that were at practice to talk to their teammates and wrestler friends to get the message out about 3Style. You can't match the expertise of our coaches. While I enjoy coaching folk-style during the high school season, freestyle and Greco are my forte. This is what I really love to coach! Freestyle and Greco are much more wide open styles of wrestling, and offer wrestlers the opportunity to score lots of points without having to maintain control of their opponent. For example, in freestyle or Greco I can headlock my opponent to his back and allow him to wiggle out and get back to his feet before a "five" count for near fall and STILL score three points! What was a cool looking move (the headlock) wouldn't score in high school, because I didn't maintain control long enough for the official to count points. It's a lot o fun.

If you want to learn about freestyle and Greco- you need to come out to our club. There will be plenty of clubs in the area that say they will work on freestyle and Greco, but to get the best training, you need to come to us at 3Style!
