I really appreciate the sportsmanship of a genuine handshake at the end of a match. It speaks volumes about the character of the young men that do that.
Could someone explain to me why a young kid, with a significant knee injury requiring large elastic support and knee pad is allowed to wrestle, rather violently? What is his leg going to look like in 10-15 years? Where are the parents' brains? Physician here, but what do I know?
Hi David: Although it is not unprecedented for a wrestler to compete with a knee injury, use of only the knee pad is not what one would see in that circumstance. Typically, one would see extensive taping as well in the event of an injury. The knee pad seen in this video is used prevalently in wrestling for prophylactic purposes. It may seem excessive, but National Federation rules mandate that any elastic support worn on or about the knee must have a pad sewn into the fabric or it will be ruled illegal equipment. This rule is designed to prevent the use of sleeves that are intended to make the surface of the skin slippery or otherwise difficult to apply normal holds or maneuvers to, which would otherwise result in an unfair disadvantage to the opponent.
No, the ankle bands have been used for decades in order to identify which wrestler the referee is awarding points to. That is what the {G} and {R} refer to in the video titles and description: green and red. Here are a couple of websites to help you learn the rules. The first is a very quick read, and the second is a little more detailed. staffordhighlanders.com/wrestling-rules-made-simple/ www.indeewrestling.com/folkstyle-wrestling-rules/

Great match. I could easily watch these 2 young men battle again. Great videography as usual. Thanks
Chris is looking better and better with every match, this kid is a beast at just 145!
excellent 'two on one' control!
excellent 'ride', by blocking the 'sit out' and the hip escape!
this kid knows what he's doing.
He certainly does. Back in 2020, Chris Moore was the 113 lbs. (Class 2A) state champion in Illinois.
This channel continues to educate me on this pure, genuine sport. And again I praise excellent camera work.
Very evenly matched, these two.
That was hard, but a good win.
🥂👍🏾 to both ya!!!
Chris Moore wrestles brilliantly. He knows perfectly which part and how to lock helplessly his opponent. And the best is the handshake.....
Awesome from both. How fast is Moore with his take down attack ☺🔥👏

The guy in the red smothered him like syrup on a pancake
this amazing fight!
🔥🔥
Now this an enjoyable sport as compared to wwf™ which is a joke. I'd rather watch real sports!
💪🏽
I never noticed the ankle colour tagging before. Is that new?
