Black Tie Wrestling

When Your Dad Is Your First Coach

Before there were club practices… before there were tournaments… before there was a whistle…

There was Dad.

He was the first one who showed you how to sprawl in the living room. The first one who told you to keep your head up. The first one who believed you could be dangerous on the mat — even when you were just a skinny kid in borrowed headgear.

When your dad is your first coach, wrestling isn’t just a sport.

It’s personal.

Every correction feels heavier. Every compliment means more. Every car ride home is layered with love, expectation, and sometimes silence.

He’s not just building an athlete.
He’s building a man.

And one day, when the medals are packed away and the mats are rolled up, you realize something…

He wasn’t teaching you double legs.

He was teaching you discipline.
He was teaching you resilience.
He was teaching you how to fight when things get hard.

And that lesson lasts long after the final whistle.

🥇Black Tie Wrestling Practice 🦝
4-5pm

We are continuing to work on our foot work and dominant stance.

Today I will introduce the high crotch take down series.

The foundation of the high C is very effective for leg attacks and that leads into combinations for offense.

Wrestling shoes
Athletic gear
Water

If you have head gear, you can wear that to protect your ears from getting cauliflower.

Consistency builds growth!
Positive energy⚡

See you all on the mats!
