Beach Wrestling Training at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken
Due to the nice weather in Germany for the summer, we have decided every Monday to hold our Freestyle Wrestling sessions outdoors, in a sandy area.
The rules of beach wrestling are pretty simple. The first wrestler to three points wins. The matches take place on the beach in a seven meter diameter circle and one point is awarded for a takedown or a pushout. If there is a feet to back takedown, then two points are awarded.
So why should you try beach wrestling? Well first off, it is a great way to get more experience in a fun way. Because you are in the sand, most wrestlers aren’t doing a lot of takedowns that would require their faces to be in the sand, so there is a lot of upper body throws and set ups done. This will force you to broaden your avenue of attacks and this will hopefully will make you a better wrestler out on the mat. Plus the matches are only three minutes long so you don’t need to be in great shape to compete.
Another reason you should try out beach wrestling is because it is fun. In the sport of wrestling, it is easy to always think about working hard, accomplishing goals, and winning matches, and all of that is very important, but one thing that can sometimes be lost in all of that is the fun aspect of wrestling.
Beach wrestling is a good way to get out of the wrestling rooms and gymnasiums and have fun at the beach doing something you already love to do. You can pretty much guarantee that whenever two or more wrestlers are at the beach there are already matches going down in the sand, this just gives it official rules and gives you more opponents, and when it is all over, you get to go jump in the water to cool off.
