Session20 - 75 min
Wrestling is a high-contact combat sport requiring strength, balance, mobility, and repeated intense grappling efforts. It combines explosive attempts with sustained isometric work and constant positional pressure. Even short sessions can be demanding because the effort is full-body and often occurs under fatigue.

Benefits
Wrestling develops total-body strength, grip, balance, mobility, pressure tolerance, and high-intensity repeatability. Short rounds can create a very large training stimulus.
What to watch out for
Neck, shoulders, knees, skin, and head safety need serious attention. Use proper mats, coaching, hygiene, and progressive live work, and stop immediately for unusual neck or head symptoms.
