I wrestled in HS (215 & HWT) and in college (HWT) at the Div III level, I'm now 29 years old and been off the mat for a good while. I'd love to get back into the sport, even if just to get back into shape and enjoy it - I miss wrestling dearly.

Now, I realize wrestling down South (I went to college in Iowa where wrestling is huge; wrestled in HS in NC) and finding adult clubs is probably a tall order. So, I'd even be willing to train with a HS/College team and spar with their HWTs - when I went to HS, I was the only HWT so I had to train with the 189 and 215 which helped with my speed.

As I said, I've been off the mat for years but would love to get back at it. I realize the season is coming to a close and all, but maybe there's a team that runs off-season practices or something. I don't know the area at all so hoping someone may be able to help.

I did several weeks ago, unfortunately No reply from the website's listed email, their FB page, or a personal message to the admin (the messages were spaced out, once I didn't get a response from one I tried another means of contact they had listed).

I spoke with a middle school coach and he said he thought Nashville Wrestling Club had gone under. So maybe that's the situation?

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Where in Nashville are you located? Many of the BJJ and MMA places in the area offer wrestling. Or you can take up BJJ and leverage the grappling skills you already have.

Did you ever find any clubs? I'm also looking to stay in wrestling now.
