Q&A With the Coach
Why did you start wrestling?
Since I was a kid, I have loved sports. However, I was a little thin and started to love this sport after I was exposed to wrestling in junior high school. Not only can you increase your physical skills, but you can also strengthen your body.
What do you love most about Wrestling?
I love the invisible growth that happens after each training session. Not only the physical changes, but also the skill that comes from training.
When did you begin teaching Wrestling?
I started wrestling at 13 years old. Wrestling is for ages 5 to 60+… In addition to getting stronger! There is a lot of training involving Fitness, fat loss and self-defense. It is also very suitable for general athletes.
Wrestling is also a very important skill in MMA.
What do you try to focus on when coaching?
I focus on etiquette and student safety.
1. Teach students the basic movements and protect their safety
2. Shake hands with your opponent before and after a wrestling match.
This is also an etiquette to respect the opponent.
What is your goal as a coach?
To create the best players and the best team for the top champions. I want to promote wrestling as a sport for all people to participate.
