As a Jiu-Jitsu guy, one of my regrets is I never got to wrestle seriously. I have tremendous respect for the sport and I just love this vid. The athleticism, the hard training, the explosions, the technique, the coaching about taking a moment to reset mentally. Beautifull.
@@random_adlibI feel that is the case with alot of sports in US. Same with Hockey. HS/College system have their advantages but after school, you are done. Then it's better with the world club system.
Same, I currently do judo and it’s very fun, but I just wish my school had wrestling when I was younger . I feel like having the previous wrestling experience would have also helped alot in my judo currently.
I miss D1 wrestling. Grinding it out with great teammates, learning together, working off 6-8 pounds of sweat, and having good coaches working you to that next level. It feels great walking out of a practice that you just knew made you a better wrestler at the end of the day.
Tommy G! Bro you have taken wrestling to the next level with your channel. I am trying to do the same. I have been wrestling for 5 years and doing youtube for about 6 months, maybe a little more. I have over 300 videos and closing in on 2k subscribers. I post all my matches, wins and losses. I post training videos and some clips from camps too. What I don't have is any interviews with other wrestling youtubers. Bro I am literally a hour and a half north of you. Any way I could do an interview with you for my channel? I know it wouldn't do anything huge for you, but it would be dope for me and my channel. I am 100% sure my parents would drive me down there. If you are busy I completely understand, just thought I would ask. Love the channel, keep doing great!
I regret not sticking with wrestling. wrestled for four years 3 middle school 1.5 high school and some club yet I never realized how much I loved the feeling of hating myself from working so hard. No workout like it and no tougher sport mentally. Wrestling will always be the #1 sport in my heart.
Jiujitsu doesn't really have the same intense, grinding mentality (atleast not all gyms) but it's very similar man if you liked wrestling you'll probably like jiujitsu
I went to the University of Michigan wrestling camp back in the summer of 1989 between my freshman and sophmore year of high school. There were hundreds of kids there. My record went from 6-10 as a freshman to 16-8 as a sophmore because of that camp. The head coach was all class. He gave me a ride to Ann Arbors' tiny airport for my parents to get me when camp ended. Looong time ago, but a great experience and great program
I think its great that these young athletes are working hard and putting in the effort. They are really going to make something of themselves. Keep up the good work!
good coaching. good system. I almost care about that more than any specific sport. When you see a coach and staff that has the system, the stations, the drills, the stop watch, the segmentation, the gauntlet, when you see that kind of organization, you want people you care about to have that kind of experience and be a part of a program like that.
I wrestled. In fact I was state champion in high school in middle weight in Indiana. . Had a college wrestling scholarship too. Wrestling is an intense muscular driven sport. And I took to it like a fish to water. And I didn’t try out until my junior year in high school. My only regret I didn’t stay at it in college and develop enough to go to The Olympics.
Good thing they posted this to see the practice because what we saw from Cam Amine vs Penn State was so sad. I never seen him get manhandled like that before. 4 stall calls!
Take it all the way down to 0.25 speed and it's still fast. Incredibly inspiring. Props to that dude, have no idea who he is or what his record is, but he's damn sure an athlete that knows his body.
Would love to see cross over training with hi level wrestlers going to a top end jiu jitsu school like Bteam, and the reverse for BJJ guys coming to a school like this.
@@dillonmackay683 A lot of wrestlers considered greatest of all time used PEDs especially olympians. I don't take any credit away still from being enhanced, you just have to look at pure technicality of a grappler.
As a bjj fan and fluent practitioner I wish gyms like these allowed occasional walk ins so I can make up time for not sticking with this stuff in high school. Wrestling is a key piece of missed opportunity in bjj and I wish there were more clinics for it to the adult public outside of college degrees.
They could make a lot of money by opening this up to outsiders and at least providing a secondary class for people who aren't part of the college. Eventually someone's going to do it and make a ton of money off of it and then I'm sure every college is going to jump on it as well. It's just an obvious way to make more money and grow the sport and you don't have to have them interrupt the D1 class, just put everyone else in a separate class have them be coached by one of the freshmen or sophomore wrestlers who just need more practice. Easy money.
Michigan is a top ten program and those guys work hard! I would love to see an Oklahoma, Iowa or Penn State workout! Even Cornell can have a fluke like Dake or Diakomihalis come through their program but how do these teams stay at a top ten level for so long?!?!!
My son was a wrestler in HS the hockey and football guys thought they were nuts watching their workouts…amazing sport amazing athletes Hint… if u find out a guy was a wrestler didn’t fight him they get on the ground they r just getting started
This sport actually has more lifelong utility (I'd imagine) than any other competitive sport. The flexibility and core strength, balance is essential in all things I say. Great sport.
Tough times but the reward is sweeter the older you get. I wrestled in highschool and im almost 30 now and the work ethic and grit i developed back then has pushed me greatly in every facet of life
BJJ doesnt need much wrestling just sweeps, trips, basic single & double. Judo probably more useful. Boxing & wrestling on the other hand is enough to take you pro in MMA.
As a distance runner I honestly agree with this. My sport is extremely hard but I feel it's 2nd to wrestling cause wrestling is just a different kind of beast.
I had no clue that Kevin "Former UFC Heavyweight Champ" Jackson is an assistant coach at U of M! Those guys should consider themselves lucky to be coached by him.
animals bro. I'm a boxer...my dad made me wrestle and it took my inside fighting to the next level. I advise anyone to learn how to wrestle no matter how trash you are. DO IT!
Only thing I don’t like is everyone layered in sweats… coach Bentley at app state taught us that when it’s time for wrestling practice you should dress lightly so you can actually focus on getting better at wrestling. And not cutting weight.
0:57. Run it at 1/4 speed and it's still fast. Props to that young man being a self-made human howitzer round.
Probably has a nasty blast double
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to be like "where'd he go"
Damn! I missed that
thats exactly what i thought too
That’s what stood out to me too. That kids fast boy!

"Relax breathe and wrestle"
Dude at 0:59... Lightning
I loved wrestling when I was younger. Biggest thing that sucks is that after HS/college there is nowhere to keep wrestling

When your coach can actually perform the moves, you know you are blessed! 🙌

I never wrestled, but this is the greatest sport on earth and produces the best all-around athlete hands down. Thanks for the awesome vid!
ehhh id say the most intense athletes and some of the best conditioned but not the best lol
@@LAMEHERC1true, but for best all around athletes I’d most definitely say football
@@a5a346 the skill positions in football are the athletes imo. I respect the toughness of say a linebacker but they’re limited
Muay Thai, those dudes are savaages
@@KeyserSoze23 100%
Warmest place in Ann Arbor! That struck a nerve. I remember coming in to the wrestling room on cold winter day. It was my home.
This is badass!
This looks hyper competitive. Awesome! What a great environment to push your limits.

Love and miss this energy, brotherhood and lifestyle from the college wrestling days. Nothing like it!!

Same bro
Love seeing behind the scene footage on all sports , just so happens that collage wrestling is my favorite !
Wrestling has such a great culture to it, I miss it so much.
Do what the rest of us did and join a JiuJitsu gym. You'll love it.
@@at29035ft I'll dig into it, thanks brother.
Jiujitsu doesn't really have the same intense, grinding mentality (atleast not all gyms)
but it's very similar man if you liked wrestling you'll probably like jiujitsu
@@raindog121 were lucky enough to have wrestling 3 nights a week.
You should try Judo, it’s similar to wrestling in that it’s very takedown focused , so you’d like it a lot. The throws are amazing
This is why they’re among the best in the world. Great coaches and great training. Reminds me of high school in Randolph, NJ.
I went to the University of Michigan wrestling camp back in the summer of 1989 between my freshman and sophmore year of high school. There were hundreds of kids there. My record went from 6-10 as a freshman to 16-8 as a sophmore because of that camp.

These coaches look so involved and so motivating. Good work!
Dig the music. Wrestling is not for everybody. The level of dedication is way up there. Respects to those who do it
Kevin Jackson is such a boss.
What an amazing coach. No wonder Michigan gets so many top level transfers. He’s a mature athletes coach.
The program's explosiveness is on another level.

1000% agree
What a great coach
Wish I hadn't quit wrestling as a kid. Such a good sport and gets you in shape.
I don't watch wrestling at all but this channel seems to do a dang good job promoting the sport and it's athletes
I wrestled. In fact I was state champion in high school in middle weight in Indiana. .
Had a college wrestling scholarship too. Wrestling is an intense muscular driven sport.

They didn't let FLO film the running away and stalling drills. Per the Penn State match that' all they know how to do.
These guys work so hard, wrestlers that is!
Coach is an absolute LEGEND)
I’ve been wanting to learn how to wrestle so bad, The explosion these guys have is impressive
I mean... if you wrestle at this or near this level, any other sport you enter, you will have a major physical and mental advantage.
Great coaching staff
That drive at 0:57... damn
Take it all the way down to 0.25 speed and it's still fast. Incredibly inspiring. Props to that dude, have no idea who he is or what his record is, but he's damn sure an athlete that knows his body.
This guys are explosive as hell
I dont need many words, simply beatifull
5:01 was extremely smooth
Would love to see cross over training with hi level wrestlers going to a top end jiu jitsu school like Bteam, and the reverse for BJJ guys coming to a school like this.
BJJ won’t stand a chance, I remember Bo Nickal talking about being almost even with Black belt in BJJ with no BJJ. Training besides watching MMA
@@dillonmackay683just fyi, it’s more than likely cap. He’s known to exaggerate heavily for really no reason.
@@dillonmackay683 Also Bo Nickal got tapped by Gordon.
@@iykyk000 Gordon Ryan’s on Roids and is considered to be the greatest BJJ athlete of all time

I'll never forget Kevin Jackson. First time I saw him compete was against Frank Shamrock.
0:55 that's some badass explosive power right there 👌
Great stuff!
We have so many Olympic studs in the USA. Love Jackson.
More in a series like this please
The three time state champ from my High School went to Mizzou and got his ass kicked in the first semester. D1 is on another level. Terrifying really.
Could watch this for hours
Explosive power 🤯
Michigan is a top ten program and those guys work hard! I would love to see an Oklahoma, Iowa or Penn State workout! Even Cornell can have a fluke like Dake or Diakomihalis come through their program but how do these teams stay at a top ten level for so long?!?!!
**Fluke like Dake or Yianni??? Wtf?! Cornell has a long history of strong wrestlers what are you talking about fluke??? They have two 4 timers
Good video!
Every coach yelling in every wrestling room
Meanwhile: Penn State plays dodgeball
They also win titles.
theyre the best team in the country though
My son was a wrestler in HS the hockey and football guys thought they were nuts watching their workouts…amazing sport amazing athletes
Hint… if u find out a guy was a wrestler didn’t fight him they get on the ground they r just getting started
Wrestling is freaking awesome.

I miss wrestling!
So many horrible memories coming back...
Tough times but the reward is sweeter the older you get. I wrestled in highschool and im almost 30 now and the work ethic and grit i developed back then has pushed me greatly in every facet of life
wish the uk could get funding for wrestling in the universities
Looking at this already make my knees suffer. Should have wrestled when I was young.
810 baby, love it
being coached by kevin jackson must be sick, dude is a beast
More please!
Im a purple belt in bjj and I'll never be on par with most wrestlers for stand up/takedowns. I still kick myself for not doing wrestling as a kid.
BJJ doesnt need much wrestling just sweeps, trips, basic single & double. Judo probably more useful. Boxing & wrestling on the other hand is enough to take you pro in MMA.
The speed is impressive
Man I miss wrestling.
That was awesome
It’s so crazy how they all have the same head shape and body type lol.
Same front track and field.
No one in any college sport, and I mean NO ONE will ever work harder than the athletes on those mats.
As a distance runner I honestly agree with this. My sport is extremely hard but I feel it's 2nd to wrestling cause wrestling is just a different kind of beast.
Luke! Love from the 219
Holy shit! When my son is old enough he’s doing this.
Kevin Jackson: he did a lot for wrestling and wrestlers in MMA.
Amazing really appreciate the content👊
Best and hardest sport
I wish it didn’t grow to be a 0.00 flexible, immobile, competitive powerlifter. I would love to try some Masters meets. I miss the energy of wrestling
Kevin Jackson still looks like a stud!
Kevin Jackson Olympic gold 🥇 medalist.
Can someone please tell me the name of the song in the start of the video in the background
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
Your a legend@@Uber12
That head coach looks like he could compete right now
High intensity!
Cold Machines 🦾🔥
Rooting for Beau!
What is the song used in the first minutes? Thanks
I had no clue that Kevin "Former UFC Heavyweight Champ" Jackson is an assistant coach at U of M! Those guys should consider themselves lucky to be coached by him.
God I miss this.
greatest sport in the world
lots of shadow wrestling to warm up, and straight to specific training. No static drilling, no free wrestling. JJ guys gotta learn a thing or two
Wish I woulda wrestled when I was younger. Looking back, I'd rather have had solid wrestling under my belt than the boxing I have.
They are a lot quicker with spins and attacks than I suspected.
Awesome video but the camera guy seems way too comfortable at Michigan
You know... After seeing this... I'll stick to boxing, thank you very much.
love this
animals bro. I'm a boxer...my dad made me wrestle and it took my inside fighting to the next level. I advise anyone to learn how to wrestle no matter how trash you are. DO IT!
I turned down the legendary coach Cozart, all because I didn't want to run 3 miles before practices. Wrestling is the most rewarding sport out here!
D1 Wrestling. 💪

When do you learn the Rock Bottom and or Stunner?
😂😂😂
Only thing I don’t like is everyone layered in sweats… coach Bentley at app state taught us that when it’s time for wrestling practice you should dress lightly so you can actually focus on getting better at wrestling. And not cutting weight.
