What gear do you need to start wrestling? How do you make sure you have all the equipment you need on match day? See what I have in my bag, the items I never forget.
Everyone starting wrestling make sure you bring every single item here, especially rash guard preferably in spider man color. This is vitally important to being able to wrestle.
If you look at the historical significance of headgear, and what Cliff Keen called in when he invented it in the early 1960's. He called it a "wrestling helmet" I call it headgear daily, and grew up next to the Keen family. Only 10 houses away. #wrestlinghistory
I’m a wrestler who started in the independence scene just 4 years ago, I wear the black adida wrestling shoes when in the ring, I have custom knee pads and shin guards. Most of the stuff in this video was pretty necessary. The mouthpiece is optional though. I chose to wear one but feel like I look kinda dumb but aye, protects my teeth.
although a mouth guard isn't needed I would recommend one because when I was younger I didnt wear one and got elbowed across the face pretty hard, it knocked tooth out and I had to get stiches.... Now that I think about it, I think that bastard did it on purpose.
Nice, I love that the background audio levels down when "ear" harm was initially mentioned. But ever cut after the _ear protection_ was inserted with high background volume. Granted, this is the first time I've come across this channel, and seems like subs will be flocking in known -- time :) Feels like the joke was MISSED, when the background audio went UP, and AFTER you stated the ear protection information. Not sure if the background noise is meant to be a constant for all videos, but IF SO, this video should have been different - the opposite - as hearing was the initial _punch line_ with the ear protector information presented. The vid could have been the _odd man out_ but also tongue and cheek [at the same time].
You're right, you don't need a mouth guard, unless you take an elbow or a knee to the mouth and your teeth are busted out. Now, if you don't care about your teeth, gums, and jaws, you never need a mouth guard. REPLY
Bruh what I have in my bag for wrestling for practice is.... -Gatorade -shorts -shirt -Headgear -Singlets -Wrestling shoes -Running shoes(because during practice the first thing we do is run 6 laps around the halls in school) -granola bar - an extra pair of underwear -and a towel to take a shower after practice God damn do you think I bring a little too much really though all of this inside my bag barely fits in my school locker which i have nothing in there at all😂
We have to run loops around the stairs which are like a hundred feet apart from each staircase for 15 minutes we sprint up jog down and run to the stair cases
Any tips on avoiding skin breaking / friction burns when no wearing a rashguard, and especially when wearing a singlet ? I wear regular cotton T shirts and skin always tends to get wrecked around the bicep armpit area. Sometimes wear two shirts to avoid it. Makes me wince imaginging wrestling shirtless/in singlet.
All I have is shorts, water, wrestling shoes , and shirts lots and lots of shirts Oh and some tape cause my shoes are falling apart but my coach always has some so I don’t really need it
Wrestling shoes are allowed to hit the Sidewalk at tournaments because what is you have a match on Mat 8 and you have to walk to get there. Wrestling shoes can hit the Concrete at a tournament.
I know some Experienced Wrestlers Aka Me who still dont know what to bring because I dont want to over pack But I still want to Bring enough water to last me for the 9 hours I'm going to at the damn Tournament.
I’m a girl trying out for wrestling I’ve done judo for almost 3 years which isn’t the same but does have similarities on some parts. Any advice for me ?
All grappling arts are similar concepts, about leverage and control. The rules are only different. If you know how to train, and drill Judo moves you have a head start. You can translate that to wrestling. Study the sport, watch high level coaches on youtube and find a good coach locally
Even tho i am a girl the wrestling coach wanted me to be on the wrestling team but i wanted to bring up my grade before but now wrestling is over and i have to go next year thank u very much grades
Who received the grades? If wrestling is the goal, focus on your academics FIRST. The same discipline good academics required is the same discipline needed to be a great wrestlers.
Can I use futsal shoes or basketball shoes for wrestling training? I am a boxer/muay thai fighter and I wanna do mma but i cant find wrestling shoes in my country. Can they work?
I know its a little late, but im a wrestler, basketball shoes is OK, but it could ruin the mat. You could always find an online store and have them shipped
I just wear a hoodie to practice One it makes me sweat more and two I put the hood on during live wrestling so I don't have to keep putting and taking off my headgear😂😂
Chin cup is purely “cool” and less functional from my perspective. So chin strap. But personal preference. The key is just make sure you practice with it. It’s a variable you can control, why not practice how you’re going to compete? Practicing with it on is one more advantage over your opponent
Stuff I keep in my backpack as a coach. Wrestling shoes Personal Water Bottle 32oz Gatorade Bottle Athletic Tape Nail Clippers Phone charger And snacks that I Confiscate from the Wrestlers.

Don't forget to also have nail clippers and a razor to shave
And maybe some Aleve or Tylenol or something like that
Nail clipperz! How did I forget those! I could use some right now 😬
@@TheWrestlingCoach I know I needed them right away, everybody says I have claws 🤷🏽♀
I’d honestly kms if I ever saw my coach in a singlet lol
TheWamboMan who wouldn’t
That’s a pretty bold statement young man
LMAOOO
The Wrestling Coach I mean a lot of coaches it makes since....
1 water
2 gym clothes short sleeves
3 wrestling shoes
Damn. Right when he brought up snacks I just remembered how FUCKIN delicious a home cooked meal was after a tough ass practice
And I just remembered I have to cut weight
not when you're cutting
Okay if you’re going to your first wrestling practice don’t bring any of this
Wait i have a question, do we get our own gear bag with stuff in it???
kawaian pineapple I would say usually not. My team gets a bag but they don’t give us stuff in it like this.
I do wrestling i just won state
Then what do I bring and wear for the first day
Lana Ali tbh bring shorts waterbottle any type of shirt u wouldn’t mine getting rekted and wreslting shows but if u don’t have any just go with socks
I'm bothered he said wrestling helmet
That's what it's called some call it headgear
If you look at the historical significance of headgear, and what Cliff Keen called in when he invented it in the early 1960's. He called it a "wrestling helmet" I call it headgear daily, and grew up next to the Keen family. Only 10 houses away. #wrestlinghistory
@@rtslonnie thats the historic name for it. I call it headgear on the daily
Jesus Christ dude just go bald, embrace it.
You only go bald once. Might as well make it cool.
The Wrestling Coach no
Scuz 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
@@TheWrestlingCoach I like the hair

I have braces so I have to wear one lol
@@addison7624 In training do you wear it as well. I don't wear braces but I wanna protect my teeth.
@@SpI3eR123 Usually no because the people in practice know not to slam me on my face lol
i remember I used to watch all these videos during my wrestling seasons in hs but now I’m graduated. i miss it everyday😔
Why does he look like the stranger in god of war
I don’t know what that is. But glad you noticed
This is very helpful because I'm doing wrestling next year
Matthew West good luck. It will be hard. Stick with it and don’t quit. That’s what makes people strong from it
We practice in long pants and long sleeves to help cut weight and avoid infections and what not
Like a rash guard?
MMA Bjj yea u can a rash guard but usually over hat rashquard sum long sleeve cotton shirts to trap the heat and sweat in
although a mouth guard isn't needed I would recommend one because when I was younger I didnt wear one and got elbowed across the face pretty hard, it knocked tooth out and I had to get stiches.... Now that I think about it, I think that bastard did it on purpose.
Never look in a girls Wrestling bag 😂
i always have underwear, tampons, or sports bras in there so its real uncomfortable when sm1 looks in my bag😭
Honestly true
Amanda Wright Whats the best sports bra when wrestling
Funny vid, you put a smile on my son's face with the chocolate milk confirmation.

Rosary, headgear, wrestling shoes. that’s all I need for a match cause I’m already wearing my singlet under my warmup clothes.
Our child is getting into wrestling and we watched your video together - enjoyed the humor! :D Seems like a lot of stuff to put in a bag!
Thanks for the advice

REPLY
You only need a mouth guard if you have braces but other than that it’s optional
You don't necessarily NEED a mouthguard unless you have braces but it would helpful to use one
it's not required unless you have braces
Everyone is talking about how you don't need one but I prefer having one because you look 5x more badass lolololol
chocolate milk is the greatest god damn thing in the universe
rattlesnake survival you and I both agree
We are alike
I forgot about this comment, I still whole heartingly agree with my previous statement
Just discovered this channel, most entertaining wrestling channel on the youtubes.
Thats Goal #1, make wrestling fun. Goal #2, there are some very high level techniques hidden in that humor
all u need is gym shorts shirt ur shoes and headgear lmao
Praise The Dark Moon I don't even use headgear lol
lethal jumpshot I only use headgear during matches or when going live in practice
and bottle of water :)
You need the singlet too but only if your wrestling a duel
Praise The Dark Moon LMAO I agree
Bruh what I have in my bag for wrestling for practice is....
-Gatorade
-shorts

-Singlets
-Wrestling shoes

God damn do you think I bring a little too much really though all of this inside my bag barely fits in my school locker which i have nothing in there at all😂
No you bring the right stuff honestly
We have to run loops around the stairs which are like a hundred feet apart from each staircase for 15 minutes we sprint up jog down and run to the stair cases
That one Guy for me on Tuesdays we have to run a mile on the track after everyone’s finish we have to get to our room before coach does

Really like your video!!! I'm going to share it on our FB Page!
Me & Liam Youth Wrestling thanks! Hopefully will make more soon
Fantastic thank you 🙏🏽
Holy crap I haven't ever seen my coach in a singlet
What i have in my bag is head gear, singlet, shorts, sweatpants, sweatshirt, wrestling shoes, a shirt.
Yeeeah people say you dont need a mouth guard which is true but i highly recommend it because ive actually chipped my tooth in the wrestling team
Is my coach the only coach that says "Don't be square pizza" when refeering to something bad in wrestling
TheLastNation yep u the only one
TheLastNation yup mine says not to be a robot or not be a fish
"Don't be a wet noodle"
TheLastNation I like square pizza?!
Naw im a wrestler and I dont wear headgear bc cauliflower ear makes you look like a badass

y nesquick when you could go full bodybuilder and do dry chicken and protien
Ventus because this video is meant for kids or new wrestlers

Always keep a notebook, and a pen is needed to write down moves and lessons learned.
You produce good videos! How come you use those instead of the cliff keen classics? the ear guards
I wear CK classics everyday. and Recommend them to all of my wrestlers
Nice one singlet
All I bring is shorts, wrestling shoes, and head gear and maybe an extra shirt
i carry shorts,shirt,water,snack,towel,shampoo,tape,shoes,underwear, and headgear/singlet when i had a match.
ok well ik it is 3 years later lol but what tape did you find to work best
All you need is extra clothes to change in after a tournament or practice, shoes, and headgear
I was not expecting him to get a Hydro flask
Any advice for some good wrestling bags I just started and my shcool backpack isn’t cutting it
Good video✌🏻
Thanks, we have a good time
I bet his preference on shoes are the ones he’s wearing🤯
elwood13 wells negative. BAREFOOT!
"I have a favorite brand, but I'm not gonna tell you what it is today." Exactly wait on them sponsors Pooh secure the bag!!!
Hahahha exactly!! Fishing for sponsors there lol
What equipment bag should i get
He’s the wrestling coach, FYI
Im starting wrestling and i found agressor 4’s for 40€ are they worth it (tokyo colourway)
IDK about this. I’m a bit concerned about the chocolate milk part

Where did you get your Spider-Man rash guard??
Anyone else a girl wrestler?
I am, I’m on my 3rd year of wrestling
i am, it's my first year
No but have long hair
Yep second year
I'm on my second year
Rash guards we all those came from no-gi BJJ
Before they banned shirtless wrestling they banned the old school Greek oiled up naked wrestling…still can’t figure out why 🤔
Like number 1,000 woo!
For me it’s wrestling shoes, mouth guard, , headgear, and water.
Ditto for the most part
@@TheWrestlingCoach def
If it’s your first day of wrestling bring shoes and water that’s it
I’m a girl trying out for wrestling I’ve done judo for almost 3 years which isn’t the same but does have similarities on some parts. Any advice for me ?

Were to buy the bag
Well darn the whole shebang

Who received the grades? If wrestling is the goal, focus on your academics FIRST. The same discipline good academics required is the same discipline needed to be a great wrestlers.
ha, cool guy.
All you really need is shoes yea teeth Card yeah and headgear for sure and kneepads and you’re good
You're allowed to wear a team shirt and shorts
Hand grip???
Can I use futsal shoes or basketball shoes for wrestling training? I am a boxer/muay thai fighter and I wanna do mma but i cant find wrestling shoes in my country. Can they work?
I know its a little late, but im a wrestler, basketball shoes is OK, but it could ruin the mat. You could always find an online store and have them shipped
Futsol shoes or boxing shoes, barefoot is also fine if you partner is barefooted as well
I just wear a hoodie to practice One it makes me sweat more and two I put the hood on during live wrestling so I don't have to keep putting and taking off my headgear😂😂
Would have been even more helpful if you would name the brands of things you have so we can actually look them up
They’d have to pay me to do that ;-) got any connects?
Will you tell what kind of Nike wrestling shoes those are plz
Cayman Carpenter those are called takedowns
My school doesn’t use singlets we use basketball shorts and compression tees
I actually really like the compression t and shorts. What do you prefer?
Love that. I think all wrestling needs to keep moving in that direction
What do you wear under the basketball shorts ?
Which one is your shoes?
Personally? I prefer a shoe that wrestles like a sock with rubber on it. Too many shoes these days have a deep heal and dont flex
What is the name of theese ascics 😍
What kind of nikes are those?
Which nikes are those
Those were nice blue pants low key
Hahah I tried. Glad you appreciated the small details
Do we get to choose our own shoes or do we have to buy it??!!!
Typically you can choose your own shoes unless your team buys it
You deserve a million subscribers.. You're acting is really good
Hahah thanks @Self Zero, we have a lot of fun
man used hydro flask before the hype
I need a new bag, what company is that one?
Cliff Keen bag, I have had a few and they are top notch.
what? No Jockstrap? Going Comando Eh?
Who wears headgear while there live wrestling at practice
Derrick Lowe me lmao
I dont wanna get cauli so I do
No cup?
Gavin Mauro that's optional
I don’t think I have ever saw someone use a cup in wrestling
Of course you don't wear a cup. This is wrestling, not some football stuff. I've never seen a wrestler wear a cup
what about rudis
Scissors for a quick haircut
Send them to me? 417 Newark Street
Knee pads are helpful
They are, but as you train more regularly your knees will callous and they will be uneeded
All I have is shoes cause I’m too cool
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My guy forgot about Rudis and their gear
Nahhhhh - I just don't have any Rudis gear
@@TheWrestlingCoach But we all can agree that there stuff is really good
For headgear would you recommend the chin cup or the chin strap?
Chin cup is purely “cool” and less functional from my perspective. So chin strap. But personal preference. The key is just make sure you practice with it. It’s a variable you can control, why not practice how you’re going to compete? Practicing with it on is one more advantage over your opponent
Gotta have a knee pad
I swear I'm the only person in the world that wrestles in sweat pants
No coach in a singlet? Have you not seen vision quest?
Good point.
Stuff I keep in my backpack as a coach.
Wrestling shoes
Personal Water Bottle
32oz Gatorade Bottle

What abt Rudus?
They were not really on the scene when I made this video, and have never reached out about working together
