Have been seeing some beach wrestling tournaments advertised.
Anyone enter? Coaches? Folk style wrestlers do okay?
Might take the family and try one this weekend.

Sounds uncomfortable.
That is top on my list of “things I never want to fucking do”.

Been watching some videos on Beach Wrestling.
Rules: The matches take place on the beach in a seven meter diameter circle and one point is awarded for a takedown or a pushout. If there is a feet to back takedown, then two points are awarded. Matches are one three minute period with no over time. There is no wrestling on top or bottom either.
Cow catcher or Greco throws should end the matches quickly.

I guess I’d probably wrassle some faggots if I already had to be at the beach anyways. 
Ocean Shores???
My son wrestles Beach…
Probably going to the Ocean Shores little meet this weekend.
It’s fun, but very casual.

Entered a few here in Aus and were good fun. Gotta be careful not to get a sandy palm to the face, guys where needing eyes flushes in between rounds

My buddies’ kid (16yr) won the local tourney, good times.
He placed 2nd in HS state though as 215, so we kind of expected it.

We took first place and gave up a few points with knee drops. He had to change his ankle pic technique to avoid getting his knee in the sand. Went to lat drops which took a lot of energy as it was 100 degrees.
If you are wanting to compete, or your chick/dude does and of course your kid of any age this is a good event.

I like the sumo aspect of beach wrestling also. They do one every year ay Myrtle Beach. Beach Brawl or something like that.

What I tell those I coach:
“If it doesn’t feel gay, you are doing it (the move) wrong.”
You can tell right away if a kid has never competed in physical one on one sports, or doesn’t have brothers. They try to push their opponent off them as it feels foreign/weird to have another dude grab you.
The first time I met a kid that hadn’t had those type of experiences I was 19yo. Was completely weird to me as no one I grew up with hadn’t been wrestling/judo/boxing their whole life.
I went to Thanksgiving dinner at his family’s house and they asked if I was the one that didn’t understand personal space. In true OGer fashion, I hooked up with his older sister and the mom came on to me, not knowing the daughter was hiding under the billiards table waiting on me.
Mom and sister had a huge blowout after I left. Buddy kept asking me if I knew anything that had happened between them.
Dad kept telling my Buddy I could come over anytime. I think the Dad was half fruit. Years later when the Mendez brothers story broke, I thought it was this family.
