About Wrestling

Wrestling is an intense, full-body combat sport that demands strength, endurance, and explosive power. A 155-pound person burns approximately 351.0 calories in 30 minutes of active wrestling. The constant physical engagement of grappling, takedowns, and positional fighting makes it one of the highest-intensity sports.

Wrestling training develops exceptional core strength, grip strength, lower body power, and cardiovascular endurance. Recreational wrestling and grappling classes are increasingly popular as fitness activities independent of competitive participation.
