Veterans Folkstyle Nationals, Cedar Falls, Iowa, April 7, 2013 (for wrestlers at least 25 years old)

Meet and train with other Chicago area adult wrestlers! All ability levels welcome to develop new techniques, practice with other competitors, and participate in tournaments. This is a great opportunity for beginners to learn a new and challenging sport, as well as provide drilling partners for old wrestlers that want to stay in the game. Our core membership includes experienced coaches who can help you learn the basics and provide chances to improve your mat skills. Come understand why wrestling, the 'World's Oldest Sport', continues to attract new fans and participants, just like it has for (literally) thousands of years.

We do freestyle, greco-roman and folkstyle, so whatever your preference you should find somebody to work with or learn from.

meaning that while wrestling is a physical sport, we try to wrestle to our's and our partner's
ability so we dont hurt each other and can come back next week.
