Have you ever showed up to a wrestling match because all your friends are going and don't have any clue how the scoring works. I have been wrestling for a long time and all the time I have people come up to me and ask me how do you get two points? And why did the ref give you one Point? There are many reason why these points are given and why some people are given three points also. The start of the match both people have to go to the table and say their names to make sure they are the right weight class and not at the wrong one. There are fifteen weight classes from 99 to 285. When you first get out to the match you have to make sure shoelaces are tied and taped, have headgear on and the straps of your singlet must be up. Make sure your shoelaces
For warm ups we would run for at least 10 minutes around the track, after that we stretched and did burpees and up-downs, it was very hard work in the core and upper body. We one time had to team up with a person farthest from your weight class and hold at least a 9 lb medicine ball over our heads and run through the halls. Training was hard since I didn’t have any girls in my weight class other than smaller boys which I didn’t really want to wrestle. I decided to work with a girl that was at least 20lbs more than me, which made me push more harder.
There is no sporting event that brings an explosion quite like that of an ice hockey fight. Ice hockey has always been stereotyped as brutal and unnecessarily violent, a game full of players who are nothing but “goons”. Fighting in hockey is a form of sanctioned violence, as it has deemed acceptable in hockey since the introduction of the National Hockey League in 1917. The league did note even penalize it until the 1922 NHL season (Brandon 2013). A recent political uproar has taken place within the hockey world as more people are pushing to have fighting completely removed from the game. As a hockey player for over 25 years, I have
Wrestling is a sport about hard work and dedication. Some people say that wrestling is the hardest sport in high school because the sport is mostly a mind game. If you let someone get in your head or the workouts get in your head, then you have already lost the fight. Just like in any situation in your life, if you let the situation get the better of you, you lost.
First stop will be to learn the history of wrestling. As stated “Early Egyptian and Babylonian reliefs show moves still used today” (http://www.athleticscholarships.net/history-of-wrestling.htm). Wrestling was used by the Ancient greeks for soldier combat training. Due to Greeks worry over the sports history,

A video of enforcers Daniel Maggio and Brian McGrattan fighting went viral. They were landing punches during the game. Ultimately, the hockey fight led to an unconscious McGrattan. When Justin Abdelakder watched the video, it reminded him of hockey's history of fighting. In the past, fights in hockey were a common occurrence.
It was a cold night during the winter at Dover High School. The Central York Middle School wrestling team was going against Dovers wrestling team.This would be Central's first match of the winter season. Everyone on the bus was excited for the match knowing that we could win because we practiced real hard. When we entered the school everyone got quiet and walked to the locker rooms to change. When we got inside the locker rooms everyone started getting dressed and got weighed in. I was lucky because i made weight by a pound under. This would be my first match ever so I wanted to start off winning not loosing.
There are many sports existing today. Every sport differs from the other. Some sports require different skills, such as speed, strength, or intelligence. Certain sports are physical like football and wrestling, while others are not like tennis and volleyball. Wrestling is not only a very physical sport, it is the hardest. It is the hardest sport because a wrestler has to maintain weight, be physically and mentally in shape, have good technique, and they have a high risk of obtaining injuries. Wrestling is the greatest, and hardest sport out of all of them.
Ever wonder how I did at my league tournament for wrestling? If you don't then you should. First, I walked on the mat for my first match. The first match was probably the hardest match of the day. I had to wrestle a kid named karson Brandt, he was from holton. I beat him 9-1 in a three period battle.
In the first 20 seconds of the match, I had the first take-down. I was working crossfaces, cheap tilts, and everything else I knew after my takedown. Then, I did what I do best and gave him a swift, hard crossface and cradeled him up. Squeezing with all my strength and might it took about 7 seconds of him being on his back and he was pinned! It took a total of 55 seconds to pin my first opponent at state.
Immigration is a controversial issue in the United States. The feelings of negativity surrounding immigration typically come from the conservative side of America as they typically want stricter immigration laws, screening processes, and border control, while the liberal side of America tends to feel more compassions toward immigrants and tend to want easier access to this country for immigrants.
Admittedly I’m not the best wrestler, but my hard work ethic and determination is what makes me exceptional. At the 2015 regionals I lost my first match of the tournament which really brought my spirits down quite a lot. Going into my second match I knew if I lost my season would be done, and sectionals would be out of question for me. I ran out onto the mat, my heart is pounding through my chest. I didn’t want to let my parents and coaches down again. The match started and instinctively I grabbed my opponent’s leg and pinned him in 23 seconds. Winning this match put me into the finals for third place. When I ran onto the match for the finals match my heart dropped when I saw the guy who beat me come out to wrestle me. This meant I had to wrestle the guy that beat me to get into sectionals. The match started and he took me down, so I
In high school many kids often choose not to participate in extra curricular activities saying that there pointless or that only a certain type of person would do something like play football, or join the chess club. While this type of thinking may get some people through school and through life, can it really be looked at as being a healthy lifestyle? Today sports have proven to be a healthy outlet for students, in dealing with stress in the classroom at home and among their peers.
In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle describes “friendship” as being good in nature. In order for individuals to be friends, they need to be sympathetic towards one another and consider each other’s needs. Moreover, friendship is a necessary part of one’s emotional state. No matter how many material goods you possess, living without some sort of companionship will make you unhappy. Although Aristotle claims that a happy person needs friends, he distinguishes the concept of friendship based on three reasons: usefulness, pleasure, and virtue.
As a combat sport, it is a very simple fight between two sportsmen wearing gloves and other equipment, who try to win each other by having a bigger score or sending the opponent to knock-out, or by throwing punches with fists. However has very strict rules, depending on whether the sportsmen are professionals or amateurs, or , if the match is supervised by the referee, which tend to make the fights less dangerous, lower risks, resulting in less injuries for boxers and also makes for a more entertaining spectacle.
