There are many benefits to wrestling.One reason is you could look like the guy at the top of the page. There are many other reasons except the most popular reason:along with physical toughness it provides a mental toughness,people can start at a young age,it's easy to learn,teaches discipline,builds confidence,and it teaches self defense. As you can see there are many benefits to wrestling,but here are the top two reasons in depth.First,it teaches discipline.Anything to do with fighting requires high discipline such as the military and wrestling is the same.In every job your always going to have a boss,and in every sport you will have a coach or a referee.If you don't show respect you can't play,and some people have to wrestle for food so imagine not having dinner because you mouthed off to your boss.This is one way adults learn discipline you show respect or go hungry.Now,on the kid perspective of this, most kids love to play sports, and if you don't show your coach respect you get kicked off the team.You also get in trouble at home.Now, you see why people have to show discipline,but on the bright side you get to let off some steam from your jerk boss or our tough couch. The the second reason is self defense like discipline self defense also has a child and adult view.In the child's view they can protect them selves from predators and kidnappers. In fact there are over 700,000 sex offenders in the U.S .There are around 800,000 kidnappings each year also.Now, from the adult view they can protect themselves.The average murders in the U.S are over two hundred and one hundred thousand robberies per year.you can now under stand why people need to know how to defend themselves and their homes.
