”OPEN MAT PRACTICES in the Boston, MA area”
In the city of Boston – via the Boston Union Wrestling Club this is the ONLY weekly
wrestling workouts/practices happening via this local "STRAIGHT"
sports group. Their practices are advertised
in local Boston publications/newspapers as ADULT MEN'S WRESTLING with an
emphasis on amateur freestyle and collegiate style wrestling.
Explore basic
information about this club via their updated webpage  Boston Union Wrestling Club
Their
niche is guys who are mostly in their 20’s/30’s who like/want to keep doing
wrestling. About 80% wrestled
in high school and/or college and many are very good indeed.
A couple
are coaches or assistant coaches for high school programs. They are gaining an increasing
number of college guys in universities like Northeastern that do not have
wrestling programs.
Their
practices are fairly informal.
After warm-ups, they typically engage in shark bait takedowns, move
to top/bottom and out from referee's position, and then have refereed
matches.
Anyone,
regardless of age, size or experience, is welcome to work out with Boston
Union Wrestling Club.
 ****FYI**** These weekly practices
are "NOT" affiliated, associated with or run by EAST COAST
WRESTLING CLUB. Information is provided here as a courtesy to those
interested in finding a local regular wrestling workout space in the Boston area.
To get there easily by the MBTA/subway – take the ORANGE line T to Roxbury
Crossing; at the station exit
turn left on Tremont Street.
Walk two short blocks to the first set of lights (Parker St.) and
turn left on Parker.
Walk three more blocks and the school will be visible on your
right. Turn right on Alleghany
St. then enter the schoolyard.
The unlocked entrance for the wrestling room is on the east (Tremont St.)
side of the building.]

Please note/be
aware that the Boston Union Wrestling Club works out at a "STRAIGHT" gym
open to the general public.

the guys attending wrestled on high school and university teams, while the
rest are learning as adults. The ages range from 22-60, with a
entire gambit of weight classes and experience levels from novice to very
experienced.
Most of
their guys are professionals in their 20’s/30’s but people of any age,
gender, weight, and experience level are welcome to join in on their
workouts.

EAST COAST WRESTLING CLUB
Currently
East Coast Wrestling Club "DOES NOT" have its own practice space.
Just an FYI; we have members in all 6 New England states. so accomodating everyone with an easy access practice space might not happen.
ALSO some East
Coast members/grapplers do attend the Boston Union practices regularly so they can get in a regular workout
PLUS get access to mat time with people of all weight classes.
We are
currently searching for a place where this gay wrestling club and amp; its members could
work out privately without hassle, prejudice, or any harassment.
If you
know of/come across/find a space that is reasonably priced worth looking
into contact us and call Marc: at our ECWC club phone info line (401) 467-6737
, OR E-mail him at either: ecwc@juno.com OR at our 2nd E-mail address ecwc@eastcoastwrestlingclub.org
