Article: Two of the moves young wrestlers learn first are the single-leg takedown and the double-leg takedown. To do the single-leg takedown, grab one of your opponent's legs and use your position to force them to the ground. In a double-leg takedown, grab both legs at the same time. The most important thing is not how many moves you know, but that you're comfortable in the basic positions and that you go into your matches with an idea of what positions you're going to use. Don't focus on learning all the moves at once. Instead, focus on learning one or two and getting as good at them as you can be. To do this, you will need a partner. Have your partner kneel on the floor with their palms facedown so their body looks like a tabletop. Hook one of your arms underneath your partner's armpits. Rotate your body by leaning onto your partner's back and spinning your lower body like a top. When you reach your opponent's other side, hook your arms into their other armpit, then immediately turn around and come back the other way. After you've run this drill for a while, switch places so that you become the base and run the drill again. Try to run this drill for 15 minutes every day. A popular option for children under the age of ten is to start in a freestyle/Greco-Roman wrestling club. This is a great option, because these clubs utilize folkstyle, which is the style of wrestling that is practiced in high schools and colleges in the United States. Training in folkstyle will give you a nice head start if you're looking to compete later on in your academic career. Select a team that focuses more on fitness and technicality, rather than competition. When training at a young age, fundamentals are more important than winning tournaments. In order to wrestle safely, you will need to secure the following equipment. All of the following equipment can be bought at a sporting goods store, or found in your own home.

Most pro-wrestlers spent years honing their skills on the mat. Once you join a team, compete in elementary school and go out for your middle school and high school teams. Look for a college with a strong wrestling program or skip college and get trained by a wrestling school in your area. Branch out into other sports to become the most well rounded athlete you can possibly be. Try to work with people who have connections in the industry, so they can help you secure an agent. Getting signed is very important in order to be recruited as a professional. Be kind and work hard so people want to work with you. Do not become discouraged by your setbacks. Losing matches is part of competing. The more matches you lose, the more you'll appreciate the ones you win.

Article: Partners use blue and red winks or they use green and yellow winks. Once you have a partner, you should stand diagonally across from your partner on the mat's opposite corners. Blue winks are put in the corner diagonally positioned across from red; the same is true of green and yellow. If you're playing in a team, each player should take one of the two colors of the pairs above. Team play in Tiddlywinks is called "pairs." If you just playing against another person, one player will use blue and red winks and the other green and yellow winks. This is called "singles." It's possible to play with three people. In that instance, one of the people controls both colors and the other two each control one other color. This means that you see whose winks get closest to the pot or into it. If yours makes it into the pot or is closest, you get to start. Place the pot in the middle of the mat. Place the winks behind the baselines. Each corner of the mat should contain winks of only one color. Arrange the colors clockwise in alphabetical order from the English language (blue first, and then green, etc.) Tiddlywinks turns then move in clockwise rotation after the squidge-off. Play a wink of each color from behind the baseline in the direction of the pot. You always want to make sure you stay behind the baseline when you play a wink. The wink in or closest to the pot is the winner. Then, put the winks back behind the baseline. Generally, games of Tiddlywinks last 20 minutes for single matches and 25 minutes for pairs. Start the clock after the squidge-off. The game can end before the time runs out, though, if someone squidges all the winks of their color into the pot. Games with three players usually run 22.5 minutes. You can also choose to play until all winks are potted. There is usually a round limit period after the ending of the time period if all the winks are not potted. That means you continue playing until the turn of the color that won the squidge off. Five further rounds of the color are played, with each ending after the turn of the color that won the squidge-off.
