In wrestlng there is contact hence ( contact sport ) I am of the firm grasp and belief that my kid will one day get hurt in this sport as it is inevitable. I hope and pray that it is minor but all the same I am prepared for it. Wrestling is a tough sport and if my kid takes a hand to face or gets power halfed or hit with a twister I know that those risks are there and part of the sport. Nobody wants to see kids get hurt but I do want to see them wrestle to the best of thier ability and if it gets a little rough then so be it.
"A forceful trip" please clue me in on how to trip another wrestler down with no force.
"forceful application of a crossface" again this is intended to be forceful, do not rear back and punch, but use with force.
All I am saying is be careful how safe you are trying to make this sport or soon our kids will be wrapped in 7 layers of bubble wrap and playing sumo. jmo don't get offended
