UFC probably helps that a great deal.

Good. And it’s great for kids. BJJ/Judo as well.

My son wrestled in high school several years ago. It is definitely growing in popularity. Great sport and tough.

My son wrestles and I have grown to love the sport. It is a tough sport and teaches a lot of discipline and hard work. I love seeing the participation rate going up.

All the HS wrestling kids I knew were tough MFers, even alot of the football players were intimidated.

People are realizing that it’s much more safe than football

This makes me sad. As the sport is growing, not a single school in my podunct TN county offers high school wrestling, so my 14 y/o daughter who was a '23 AAU state champion (along with a second place finish in '22) is not going to wrestle in high school, because the school that hosts the AAU program that she's been in for 4 years is out of our county. They are starting a HS girls program and wants her to be on the team but she could only practice, not compete. TSAA is out here protecting and serving.
