Metro Wrestling has been holding collegiate and freestyle wrestling practices in New York City since 1992. In the last few years, we had to switch locations and then Covid-19 put everything on hold. We obtained a new space near Penn Station just before the Covid-19 lockdown hit, but they're still there and we held our first resumed practice there on Sunday, July 25, 2021. The practice went very well and we are planning to continue this schedule, which is every Sunday from 2-4pm at 38 West 32 St, 14th Floor, Suite 1406, New York NY 10001. Please bring appropriate wrestling attire including flat soled or wrestling shoes, and shirt and shorts or wrestling singlet. We have a limited amount of extra gear to lend on a first-come first-served basis. Metro's site is metrowrestling.org and on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/groups/37594092077 – See you on the mats!

The venerable annual Hillside Wrestling Weekend was last weekend and once again, it did not disappoint. A great mix of raw me..., er, new guys and previous attendees, freestyle, submission and pro matches, and hot dry weather made for sweaty matches all day and through the night as well. Posted some of the photos and planning to get many more up soon.
