Why Not Wrestling??
As I drove in today, I noticed two Karate schools within about 5 blocks of each other...why don't we have two wrestling schools within 5 blocks of each other.
Granted, I know the answer is there is not enough people doing pure wrestling, but why not make wrestling a little more of a participation sport. Why is there this win at all costs attitude that if you don't win your tournament you are not successful. It seems to mean there is a tremendous opportunity to market wrestling more as a sport that builds character, physical fitness, and self-esteem.
Rather then a sport that requires year round wrestling, three or four nights a week of practice, getting up on your parent's day off at 6:00 a.m. and spend all day sitting around to wrestle 15 minutes - if your lucky enough to get 3 or more matches that are competitive (so you don't pin your opponent quickly or you don't get pinned quickly).
I'll post another interesting idea for hosting a tournament...I think it's a great idea would require less sitting around and allow more wrestling...
