"If you're wrestling someone from a former Soviet country you gotta win by 4"
what does it means?
@@xy5844 you really asked 2 years after the comment
@@princebeglar7722 yes, i still didnt understood why he said it on the video 👽
@@xy5844 we'll never know
@@princebeglar7722 ok belair prince
He said he was going to dumb it down, and he did! Excellent presentation!
😂😂
Whenever I wrestle whether folk style or freestyle I just say to myself “make them eat the mat and don’t let your back touch the ground n do not get caught in base” that’s all it is rlly to it 😂
You're right, I feel dumber after watching this.
Dude I am glad to have this. I was saying I was doing grecco roman for years because all I remembered was it wasn't freestyle because I couldn't grab for the ankles etc. No-one told me I was folkstyle wrestler lol. Now I know and now I won't be looking like a moron saying that I was a grecco roman wrestler and then talking about how much I love double leg takedowns.
current folk style wrestler here, you wrestled greco, folkstyle legalizes all leg attacks
@@briansucks8885 If he has double leg takedowns then he is absolutely NOT Greco-Roman. In Greco-Roman wrestling, you can't use any sort of move or attack on the legs at all. Strictly upper body, which is why they use throws like the Suplex, although I believe they call it a Suple or Supley, something like that. So yeah, he's definitely not Greco-Roman if he's hitting double legs
you can grab ankles in folk style
What type of wrestling is highschool and college
@@squigl3z78 Folkstyle
The only real difference I heard was the 3 points of contact = takedown in folkstyle.
Also the exposure, you only have to break 90, it’s instant 2 since you don’t have to hold them there, you don’t have to change grip to be awarded points, also there’s no locking hands and no rules on slams, and a push out is 1 point
When you just there to look cool
Video is almost unwatchable, really tried but just couldn't do it...
thanks i have a tourny in wisconsin in 2 days (im from illinois)and they are wrestling both freestyle and folkstyle for some reason
Pretty superficial and lame. Less BS and posing, more details and facts.
I'm still don't know the difference man dammit
They should hire DPS breakdowns.. he’s much better at making high level wrestling content
thx i’m wrestling my first freestyle match tmrw and this really helped
Howd it go
How’d it go
Did you win?
@@MKasap-te8vm ye i got 2nd at state that year
First of all for folk style you gotta keep them on there back for a count of 5 to get five points and they’ll count to five if your on your back and not pinned
Awesome vid!
i legit zone out when the guy on the left speaks without realising and tune back in when the guy in the hoodie dumbs it down. keep having to rewind damn
When I did Freestyle I learned more ways to take an opponent down which some of them can become very intimidating and sometimes you need to know folkstyle before you learn it. Like most of freestyle has the same moves that folkstyle has but the moves are more extreme. So like a folkstyle double leg is driving them to the Mat but in freestyle your Double leg can mostly make them fly to the mat! Like I’ve seen people during practice in folkstyle take a move and do it correctly but accidentally doing in freestyle.
Story time: back when I was doing folkstyle wrestling the coach taught us how to twist someone onto the mat while standing. One of the Students did it right but instead of pulling them down they used so much force that they threw them back over their shoulder like if they were a barrel! They asked the coach if they did it right but the coach replied “you did it correctly but not for folkstyle” I also accidentally did an extreme move. When I was doing a double leg I accidentally thrusted a student so hard they they went diagonal up like maybe around 110° angle like a little obtuse slightly upwards into the air before being dumped downwards. Which in that moment I didn’t realize he was lifted 3ft off the ground until I looked at him while he was on the ground. Everyone looked at me and said “how’d you do that?” Because in wrestling, Just like Judo you don’t notice the move because your using leverage so it’s not hard when you do it correctly. But from being lifted from your opponent you don’t have control and you get taken down pretty fast. Just like a rollercoaster loop you don’t even notice you’ve been lifted off the ground during a takedown. The takedowns aren’t the things that hurt… it’s what’s after that hurts… you being in a cradle!
That’s why I said they have the same moves but one is just more extreme.
This seemed like a small amount of informativeness embedded in what is fundamentally a comedy skit full of in jokes for those already in the know. I'm sure it's hilarious for them, but I do hope to find a more serious and informative video on the subject.
“Ass over asics” best advice i’ve ever heard.
Happy it’s filmed at Randy’s
Those track suits are fly as hell
Russian tuxedos, lol!

BUGGY LIKE MAGGOT ?????????????
I prefer folkstyle but both are cool to watch and fun. I am more well versed in folkstyle and competed in it in highschool. i wanted to continue vut college isnt for me. Now as an adult male i want to start training again just to keep in shape and brush up on takedowns and take down defense (i work in a job with a high possibility of being assaulted) but there is like no schools to practice any style of wrestling near me.
I train BJJ and have been wanting to find a place to work on my wrestling, but there are none near me. I wish it was recreationally practiced for adults like BJJ is
@@jzargo1709 it's sad that it isn't because bjj is great on the floor, but I don't want to be the one being tooken down I wanna be the one taking mfers down. There needs to more schools for adult wrestling IMO
And why didn't they go over pins?
Scott Dingee it's the same
I’ve done Folkstyle for 4 years
You make it sound as though both have the same ground game.
What is the differences in mat? In folkstyle it seems that the surface is harder...
Great video now explain Senegalese wrestling
Missed out headgear.
No one wears headgear in freestyle except for school age Americans who are probably more focused on folkstyle anyway.
I'm sorry, I need my ears, though. Cauliflower is not sexy.
perfect. thank you.
LOL @ "I NEED THAT!" at the sword.
I need that, throws sword😀😀
So its just the rules...
“…ass over ASICS.” Bahahha
Who is that guy throwing around JB AT 47 sec
Where do people learn folkstyle ?
Folkstyle is superior!!!
What are you high it’s boring and has too many rules and restrictions
@@dmacc6486 which style doesnt allow u to lock your hands?
Oksana Gilroy folkstyle doesn’t allow you to lock hands on the ground
Dmacc watching JV girls go at each other when they’re trying to go to state is hilarious what are you talking about
@@dmacc6486 freestyle has the stupidist rules.
What about the throws??
In freestyle if you get 2 points for exposure and then immediately get a takedown you get 2. But if you get a takedown then expose them to their back you get 4 [2 TD and 2 back].... how does that make sense?
If you get exposure while scrambling it's 2 then if you finish the scramble on top it's nothing for you unless you expose them again.
The guy on the left looks like he is about to rob someone 😂
Almost unwatchable
Wall to wall, Russian Tuxedos. lmao
is that guy on the left ok?
Skittles? You forgot the arizona
I‘ve a question
Is wrestling one of those martial arts that have techniques that you don‘t have to practice because they‘re not hard to doe?
No not at all. Every technique you want to use you need to practice until it sticks. That goes for every martial arts worth learning.
For wrestling you should drill the move over and over again until you get it, and still keep on doing it.
iN Simply put, you should always practice because if you go into a match without practicing, you're gonna get f'd up because of it.
Freestyle's scoring criteria is confusing and the people can stall on the bottom
maybe this is bias because im a folkstyle wrestler, but freestyle just seems too easy to me.
So basically just a different rule set
Drop the hood
Best wrestling school of all time= DAGESTAN
"clasping"[locking hands] is a TERRIBLE rule that puts our american athletes at a serious disadvantage in every other grappling contest conceivable. Why do americans make up their own "folkstyle" rules instead of just adopting olympic freestyle or greco!?
No wonder the sport never got any support in this country, silly fiddling with an ancient sports rules.
American folkstyle is based on catch which came around before either Olympic style, and allows locking hands. Folkstyle is right in the name, it's uniquely American, just like other countries have their own folkstyles
Id argue that its an advantage if transitioning to mma but you’re right, doesn’t help with high level Olympic wrestling.
Invisible Hotdog yeah just like how the Turkish have ... oil wrestling?
Can't get through this video, odd mannerism are too distracting.
Folkkstyle is superior.
The more I learn about wrestling the less respect I have for it
Ngl this deserves more dislikes I’m so confused
Flo wrestling
Good idea lets make this a joke so its not understable
Why have points?? Just choke or submit.
Because that’s not wrestling, that’s jiu jitsu. And jiu jitsu wouldn’t work with the wrestling point system as if you try and work a triangle choke off ur back you’ll be pinned. It’s like saying why don’t you head kick a guy in a boxing match
There is catch WRESTLING. Where is pin or SUBMISSION.
Get rid of singlets already. The biggest factor killing wrestling.
rudai123 what do you propose people wear
MC SHIZZLE Compression shirts and shorts. Some colleges teams wore them early in thr season and most state high school regulations allow for it.
rudai123 why singlets look badass
"singlets look badass" said no 6 year old boy ever.
rudai123 "compression shorts look bad ass" also said no 6 year old kid ever
sorry, but wrestling is fake :v
cesar sanchez what
cesar sanchez WWE is not wrestling. It's acting
Wach the vid this is not a wwe vid
You're fake STFU jk it's a joke but the wwe is fake but these are real college wrestling u know what if you think it's fake then why look up stuff like this
This is fuckin stupid this isn’t wwe it’s reall FREESTYLE wrestling
