Excellent post! I have back and knee issues, I even went to see an orthopaedic surgeon and was diagnosed with authritis in my knees. I have been doing Olympic, and Power Lifts for the last year, my knee pain is gone, and my back pain is so much better. When you lift you strengthen the...

He is kind of a man without a country. Wrestling in Canada is nonprofit, and although it does get money from the government, it doesn't get much. Coaches make next to nothing, literally like $4000 a season. He is Russian, but wrestling is so strong in Russia, he would just be another...

Yes I saw that. I feel bad for the guy, very talented and now he is competing in low rate MMA, where he is getting his finger ripped off.

I totally agree!

This is complete speculation on my part, and I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. However he has been gunning for Snyder for a while, he even moved to Ohio to train under Tervel Dlagnev, I have heard that he was hospitalized with Covid, and he had to be put on Oxygen, and he...

Yakimov used to have a club in Ottawa, Ontario, the guy is legit. I thought he had moved back to Russia.

I hate to sound like an asshole, but I wonder if he subconciously did it on purpose because he knew Snyder was going to beat him. Cox has been cutting weight for most of his life, how can he miss it on a higher weight? In his last two showings he did not look the same, and I heard he had a...

Please take the conspiracy theories to the war room. It's a grappling forum.

Was a good guy, very funny. Too bad he is no longer with us.

Kid is an absolute beast. I would still like to see him win another NCAA title, and then an Olympic Gold Medal.

My wife made me stop wrestling during the pandemic, I returned to practice two weeks after my second shot. From what I understand the data suggests that being fully vaccinated stops the transmission of Covid 19 , but not all of data is in, so the CDC is erroring on the side of caution and...

@Oldguy Perhaps I am posting this because I foresee the same thing happening to me in the near future, and it is possible that I am talking to my future self, I am 50. Although you stayed in remarkable shape, could the reason for your soreness be because you work muscles, and joints in BJJ...

I did not know that he is boxing. I find it sad, he was a real talent in Russian style wrestling. I would rather him coaching than taking repetitive shots to the head. With that said coaches in Canada do not make much at all. Coaches in the US do much better.

This discussion reminds me of a funny story, when Khetag Pilev trained, he didn't try to be the best guy in the practice room, instead he would take it easy and work on things that he needed to work on. Current UFC fighter Misha Cirkunov once went to the Toronto Centre for Wrestling, and worked...

Due to the coaching of many immigrants Canada's wreetling has certainly gotten stronger, and i think there is a bright future for it. Matt Gentry is a dual citizen, and he learned his wrestling in the US, I believe he was an NCAA Champion for Stanford. I have met Piliev several times, and when...

Is Shawn Geris still coaching? His father, and brother wrestled for Oklahoma State. Sean wrestled for Eastern Michigan.

It depends on the community, the Indian parents, especially the Sihks, push their kids into wrestling. There are several Indian Clubs in Canada that are really good. The Akhara of Champions in Mississauga is a really good kids club. Ashok is a fantastic coach! The Toronto area also has Mat...

I just looked it up, you are right he is getting screwed. I had a detached retina, and I still train with goggles, and it has never hurt any of my practice partners. John Trenge Wrestled with goggles as well.

St. Catherines is a Beautiful place. I am assuming you are talking about Jevon Balfour. What happened to him?

They have been the best in Canada for the last 15 years. Marty Calder is a hell of a coach!
