there’s a local club for younger kids called BIG CAT WRESTLING IN murrieta. my middle kid did it a while but ultimately it didn’t click for him. kids were pretty strong and fast.
ive been thinking about forcing my little one to try it out. he’s open to it but more into pokemon. thing is, he’s strangely strong and is always tumbling around with his pal. he has a solid feel and seem s to like grappling.
cant hurt. if he hates it he hates.
by the way, if you’re int emecula, the big cat program is great. about as good as the TMEC swim program which is also amazing. big cats run by two hs coaches who like coaching middle schoolers to get them ready for hs wrestling. theya re super serious but decent to the kids. parents often watch the practices and are so grimly serious about the wrestling it sure looks liek the pressures on those kids to wrestle well… i just thought it was kinda fun to watch, but these parents are not in it for fun, theyre in it to win it.
