An Introduction To Wrestling


Depending on how you view it or how serious you are about wrestling, wrestling is a sport that can either be a fun game, a competition wherein someone wins and someone loses, or a profit-making undertaking wherein you can gain either popularity or notoriety.
* Training the Body to Become a Weapon
Wrestling is a sport where your body is your weapon. If you are serious about becoming a professional wrestler, you need to be constantly training and building up your strength. This means working out throughout the year, even during the off-season, when you aren't participating in dual meets and wrestling tournaments. It also means maintaining or cutting your weight while simultaneously doing strength training.
* Strength Training and Wrestling
Maintaining or cutting weight is important in wrestling because when you are training to become a wrestler, your body requires more nutrients compared to the average individual. If you are trying to take off some weight, strength training becomes even more important since your body uses up its own muscles for food during wrestling practice and actual wrestling matches. In this regard, diet plays a major role in strength training. Your carbohydrate intake is restricted (since your goal is to cut down on your weight); your body turns to the carbohydrates stored in your body and uses those for energy. When the stored carbohydrates are used up, your body will next turn to your liver, where glycogen is stored. If you wrestle the next day, it is this glycogen that your body will use for energy.
* Muscling Up Doesn't Have to Be Expensive
Contrary to what you may think, training to become a professional wrestler and building up the muscles and strength to overcome your opponents doesn't require that you buy expensive training equipment. In addition, there are strength building exercises you can perform easily, without having to pay a lot of money for equipment and facilities.

* Amateur and Professional Wrestling
Wrestling is a sport that attracts millions of fans worldwide. College wrestling and professional/international wrestling are two divisions of wrestling. College wrestling is amateur wrestling. International and Olympic professional wrestling matches are governed and administered by the Fédération Internationale des Luttes Associées or FILA.
In the world of professional wrestling, the World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE (formerly the World Wrestling Federation or WWF) is a powerhouse to reckon with. Many professional wrestlers have been launched to stardom after competing in the WWE, which is considered as the largest professional wrestling organization to date.
Another professional wrestling organization is the Total Nonstop Action or TNA Wrestling. Established in 2002 by father and son Jerry and Jeff Jarret, TNA Wrestling was created after Jeff Jarrett had a falling out with Vince McMahon, chairman of the WWE. Jerry Jarrett took it upon himself to start another professional wrestling organization where his son can wrestle since it was unlikely that Jeff would ever be seen in the WWE ring again.
