Don't forget to share this video with your wrestling bros so they don't walk onto the mat looking like a scrub! 🤓
-
The number one sign of a newbie wrestler is a wrestler that makes YouTube videos about other wrestlers outfits
-
Not warming up is sketchy. They're either trash or a stud. No in between
-
I always gave a weak handshake on purpose. I then got my takedown in the first 10 seconds because they would think I'm a wimp. It was my perfect mind game.

“Only newbies have a USA Wrestling tattoo” Chris Weidman has entered the chat
-
This is the complete wrong mindset to have. Assuming things in a match is how you lose. Wrestle every match the same and respect every opponent.
-
When they strip down to their singlet 10 matches before they're up
-
Sure sign of a newbie wrestler is worrying so much about how you look on the mat
-
Two time state champion here. I always wore two knee sleeves to combat mat burn. I think you guys are worrying about looks too much. Most of the multi title winners did not look like your typical wrestling prototype. Jason Nolf looks like a noodle and he’s one of the baddest dudes to ever walk on a mat (3 NCAA titles).
-
Trying to shake hands in between periods
-
Wearing double knee pads is actually a smart strategy. Wearing only one telegraphs your dominant shooting leg. I've seen guys wear both, it's a preference I guess.
-
I wore double new pads and went 21-0
-
None of this matters in the long run. Never underestimate your opponent. Some months ago I was in a high school wrestling tournament, and, even though I was holding up, the guy was slightly better than me. During the second period, after a short scramble, he put me on my back, but I managed to roll him over to his back, immediately after he did that too, but the momentum helped me roll him on his back, I ran my feet towards his head, and I secured the pin, almost out of the mat
-
The guy who awkwardly stares at you from across the gym.
-
Fish handshakes are the best way to finesse your opponent tbh
-
On my old team, we always treated the newbie wrestlers like Marine Corps recruits. Upon officially initiating them into the brotherhood, we educated them on wrestling etiquette and informal traditions.
-
In middle school I once woke up five minutes before the match and still won
-
His stance says a lot about him. And what he's doing right before his match.
-
I always did the weak handshake. It's always nice to give someone a false sense of hope. It makes crushing their dreams that much better.
-
I got a kliff Keen singlet (L) at 5'11 175lbs that still comes all the way down to my knees. I have this dilema where I'm to tall for a medium but to light for a large. It's weird.
