Martial arts training can be an interesting hobby and an opportunity to maintain your health through physical activity. One of the most popular areas of martial arts in Russia is Greco-Roman wrestling.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the section in which you would like to start practicing Greco-Roman wrestling. For a child, you should choose a group of his age. You can start wrestling from the age of five. Sections for children usually work at houses of culture, and also exist at schools. Some cities have their own famous Greco-Roman wrestling schools, where they train future world champions - Olympic reserve schools. In particular, the schools of the Russian Wrestling Federation are located in Moscow and the Moscow region, in St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Belgorod, Bryansk regions, in the Altai Territory and in a number of other regions. However, to enter them, you need to meet strict parameters of health and skill. However, if successful, gifted children can study for free.
Step 2
If you are looking to start an adult class, find the one that suits you best. Sections for adults exist, for example, at sports clubs. Subsequently, you can even take part in special tournaments designed for people of mature age - they are called veteran competitions.
Step 3
Before signing up for a section, visit a trial lesson. So you can take a closer look at the trainer's working methods, at the level of other students and understand how such loads suit you.
Step 4
Get a medical examination before starting class. It won't hurt, even if you haven't noticed any serious health problems before. Contraindications for wrestling can be cardiovascular diseases, as well as joint diseases and a number of other health disorders. It is best to ask your doctor what level of stress is acceptable in your case.
Step 5
Get a practice uniform. You will need special shoes - wrestling shoes, as well as tights and special shorts.
