Determing The Best Wrestling Singlets For Ones Wrestling Events The very first time you head out to buy wrestling singlets, you might find yourself confused or surprised at your choices. Do you know if you should be buying a low or high-cut singlet? Are you even cognizant of the type of wrestling that you will be a part of? Will the selection in fabric give you any benefits on how you perform in your match? Do the colors or sizes of singlets matter? Truth be told, the singlet that you choose and the size of the uniform will definitely affect the way you perform in the match. To help you find the most appropriate singlet for yourself, you'll want to have all these questions answered before you go shopping. Begin by determining which style of wrestling, you’ll be participating in. One style of wrestling that is practiced worldwide is Greco-Roman wrestling. It has been a modern day Olympic event since 1896. The major distinction between freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling is the fact that GrecoRoman wrestling is mainly an upper body sport while freestyle wrestling involves almost the entire body. There are other variations in scoring and in the actual takedown and pinning rules. Some differences in the rules governing fleeing holds and ordered holds also appear between these common forms of wrestling. Along with these wrestling styles are those known as beach wrestling, submission wrestling, and folk wrestling. There are variations in the singlets chosen for each and every form of wrestling. Why does this matter when you’re trying to find a singlet? You'll need either a low-cut or high-cut singlet based on the different styles of wrestling since every one requires a certain type to be worn. The next step will be to discover which size of wrestling singlets you need to buy. The specific weight class that you are placed in will help you figure out what size of singlet you'll want to buy. They vary from small to extra-large and are based upon the most popular weight classes in your area. For example, a region that has more emphasis on high school wrestling will offer singlets for those particular weight divisions, known as Scholastic Weight Classes. The ones known as the professionals or an international competitors is the FILA weights or the international weights. Should you select the wrong size for a meet, you may find yourself in a unpleasant scenario in your match. Wrestling singlets are generally available in either Lycra or Nylon, but can sometimes be found in a mixture of the two fabrics. For many wrestlers, it is more vital to get a thicker fabric, not just for coverage but for durability, rather than what it is made out of. Bear in mind that for many wrestlers, an uncomfortable fabric may cause the wrestler to be distracted during his match. Built to provide durability and flexibility, modesty isn’t normally the highest priority. But, if the fabric tears or thins easily, a competitor could find themselves in an embarrassing predicament that can also lead to potential distractions. Options in color shouldn’t cause much deliberation. Athletes on a high school team will usually wear their school colors and international competitors may be required to have the traditional red/blue combination. But, if you are in a practice or some other scenario, the athlete may choose colors that'll provide you with the greatest coverage.
