[702bonanza]

what do the safety pins mean at 1:03?

[krazy3kid1]

@702bonanza the safety pins mean for every pin they get in a real match they get a safey pin to show that they got a pin for a pin.

[mexicantalent]

pain is weakness leaving the body

[theskygonz]

They never showed anyone wrestling... or any cauliflower ear...

[MrXXhappyXx]

pain is weakness leaving the body says my coach

[CheyMango]

Blood, Sweat, and Tears.. Wrestling will make a man out of you.

[heartsofcarnage]

wrestling is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me

[sweetstankyweed]

The kid in the shower looks like he got raped

[fugubagub]

I've just began wrestling and there is no greater feel than the feeling you get after a pin

[MegaMancino]

I fucking cried man tears, it tasted like sweet like victory and an after taste of pride-333

[randomname559]

@rockstr56 me too bro

[kingchase111]

So much feel "single teardrop"

[rockstr56]

I got killed my freshman year. Almost broke down mentally, and was physically damaged. But I came back for more. And plan on staying with it. I don't know why, but I love it

[equalxchange]

this shit right here is the truth

[sousaj95]

only a wrestler will really unnderstand this video

[equalxchange]

@sousaj95 so true brotha

[MuayThaiFighter4Life]

once youve done an entire season of wrestling theres no going back. it becomes your life. you dont know how or why but you just fall in love with it. god i cant wait till my match tomorrow

[soupdawg64]

I wish I could eat..

[AdmiralWrestler119]

i wish i could eat pizza

[yourfan125]

my school has this thing called open mats its when people who wrestle or already do come to our mats and we learn moves and wrestle people. one day of that and now i know a new lifestyle...

[WtfToxicyo]

Nothing better than winning a wrestling match

[seanyboyz411]

sad thing is im a sophmore and quit the wrestling team because it wasnt for me all my life i wanted to join the football team

[joshuamoney10]

youv'e got to hate to lose more than you love to win

[minibikedod]

The blood,sweat,and tears....the the pain....the glory of winning....making a family on the mat....going through 3 hours of hell for 6 minutes on the mat.... I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT!!!!!!

[Dreadlord67]

@minibikedod Yeah man, couldn't have said it any better.

[majorwrstlnman]

wrestling is not a sport, its a lifestyle

[CrownChimp]

Thank for all the love and support! We just released a new wrestling video for Brute's non-profit organization, REACHES. The video is called "Swim - Brute-adidas Wrestling" 

[thomasharris1892]

tufest sport in the world

[sosot117]

the pain is temporary...the pride is forever!

[Klootjee]

I dont live in America, so we dont have high school wrestling. But I train wrestling (and BJJ) But I really know whats it all about, its a damn hard sport and you need a strong mentality to survive.

[THESKATERFROMMAUI]

ahh my God this got me all teary, this is what wrestling really is like. first time ive seen it captured like this, brings joy to my heart, and its wrestling season right now... im proud.

[jay291350]

[Lilphill27]

I cryd at this vid cuz its so tru doen to the last detail.

[oDZRgaming]

U mad bro?

[bdog548]

whats the name of the song??

[bluepplrock]

@Cowboii103 i like ur quote by Dan Gable

[ELITEGAMINGHALO]

i wish we had a big team like this all we have is 14 guys most in the same weight classes

[TheAwesomecheeseman]

@ELITEGAMINGHALO same here, most of my team didnt make grades or are injured, sucks ass

[dragonamp2]

the worst part about wrestling is that unless your great after highschool or college you never truly can wrestle again its the worst feeling i have had to date, right up there to loosing a match, and that loss being the thing that makes the team loose a meet.

[mrrandomrsvidsify]

@dragonamp2 Hey man, it takes a team to loose a meet not one man

[americansoldier120]

man i startred wrestling wen i was 4 and im turning 18 and its been really fun

[Cowboii103]

once you've wrestled...

everything in life is easy..

[FastPickaxe]

@Cowboii103 Gable

[denzacjohnnick]

@Cowboii103 ya even if u dont win a championship u will sure as hell become a great person

[lenford10]

@Cowboii103 - Dan Gable

[DrunkPotatoe]

@Cowboii103 except homework

[RandomTrollKid]

@Cowboii103 my coach tells us that exact thing

[johnnycake1492]

Wrestling isnt about becoming a good athlete. Its about learning the life lessons tht will help u get through the tough times in life. It makes u mentall n physically tough, becoming a great athlete is just the bonus.

[12345678tube]

Wrestling makes you a man.

[xxBurningDreamsxx]

Only 2 seasons in the year: wrestling and offseason. Damn I wanna be a hawkeye.

[TheProfessionals000]

why are all of those locker doors open at around 2:15? those irresponsible punks

[melody96732]

what i learned the most out of this sport is the most that its not an easy sport you know my coaches said its never an easy sport.You know you have to work hard mentally&physically to be good at this sport.I mean no matter how much i try best at every practice i always know now that when next practice comes i should work 10 times harder than before,not be scared to be aggresive,and the most Not to walk out of practice cause its showing that U& i dont wanna be there.TRY YOUR HARDEST&DONT QUIT!

[wrestlerjvera]

This is my life I see my friends eating good stuff and all I can eat is a granola bar and drink water but at the end it's all worth it because pride is for ever

[lilsean616]

Poor headset :(

[bdog548]

i like this video, except for the eating pizza and the crying after you lose, win or lose like a man, like a true champion, dont cry like a pus, crying doesnt make you a better wrestler, or a better person

[nickbob313]

@bdog548 Well said! Learn from your mistakes! Never make the same mistake again! Be a good sport!

[zvirus717]

checkout my vids plz thanks 

[MrHUasian]

People in wrestling dont understand...you have to work your butt of everyday in practice,you have to eat/sleep well all the time,and more...also when your actually wrestling on the mats its alott more tiring and painful than it looks people so dont call wrestling gay if you haven't tried it.

[maskys]

This is so our life!

[Freezyfy]

is that one kid shyla leabuff?

[VskitzophraniaV]

Best sport in the world

[Bacon1157]

@RILEYisFLY ya man. My stories exactly like yours except I won a couple matchs my first year

[roywoodjr1]

Less whining, more training = more winning.

[RILEYisFLY]

i wrestled my first year in 7th grade and ended up losing every single match. But i practiced a shit ton in the off season and put everything i had into getting stronger and faster asnd more skilled.and i came back 8th grade year going 25 and 4. now im hoping this coming week i can make a huge kickoff to my highschool wrestling career.

[rockstr56]

@RILEYisFLY I started my freshman year, and it went quite like your 7th grade year did lol. My school is small so i have to wrestle varsity, so its going to be my second varsity year, and 2nd year wrestling

[madeforsurf]

ill never forget my junior year getting hurt and told i cant wrestle anymore, i use to think 11 years wrestling wasted, this video has changed my mind, thank you.

[droopyk]

yes..its more then a sports.. its man sex.. totally gay sports..

[TheAwesomecheeseman]

@droopyk I can tell by your grammar that you're a complete idiot

[dsettleascii]

all i want is a starting position on my high school team i can beat everyone expet one kid i have better technique hes just freakishy strong and anything i do i get out musceled :(

[TheAwesomecheeseman]

@dsettleascii if you work harder then him, then eventually you'll beat him

[bigrealvids]

WHOEVER DISLIKES THIS VIDEO AINT ABOUT THIS LIFESTYLE AND HAS NEVER GONE THROUGH WHAT THIS VIDEO SHOWS, WRESTLING IS MORE THAN A SPORT IS PROVES WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE A CHAMP OR A CHUMP

[mufc786hm]

Wrestlers are a crazy breed. No one trains harder, no one commits as much to their sport. While Football, Basketball, Soccer players do what they do with money in mind, wrestlers do what they do purely for the love of competition. When Football players graduate College they have lucrative NFL contracts in mind, when wrestlers graduate College they just have memories. Maybe the odd national team tryouts or MMA career, but most do it just for pride. Wrestling is truly more than a sport.

[danrogers2121]

haha you know why wrestling is so much more..... because its just you and him... and its more than just the match on the line, its your pride... and any and every wrestler has more pride than any football player

[TheMattboi]

5:01 .... he was totally going for a half

[piccardt1]

great video! be sure to check out The Realest Sport album by TP & Esco on itunes this tuesday

[PS3KICKSXBOX]

That pizza looked damn gooD!

[tylorsellers75]

Does anyone else get that nerve racking feeling or get butterflies in their stomach going into every single match?

[Dreadlord67]

I fell in love with wrestling my first season because I found out that it didn't only teach me a sport, it taught my a lifestyle, a hard as hell lifestyle, and it made me a better person. It made me strong, physically, mentally, emotionally. It made me more sympathetic, it made me compassionate, and it made me be happy for the things I have, and ESPECIALLY, the food I have.

[gkdlswm5]

@Dreadlord67 The food ... season started like 2 weeks ago and I'm already missing it

[Dreadlord67]

@gkdlswm5 Good luck man. I can't wrestle this season season because I'm studying abroad for a year in Spain, but I've found some friends who take tae-kwon-do and I train with them. Their workouts are very difficult as well.

[xXxALLtheseLIGHTSxXx]

@gkdlswm5 All I've had in the past two weeks was canned tuna and water... I also need to add, I HATE tuna... lol

[gkdlswm5]

@xXxALLtheseLIGHTSxXx Turkey here ... I HATE turkey haha

[xXxALLtheseLIGHTSxXx]

@gkdlswm5 Tuna is awful... I might try the turkey. lol

[monty201411]

@Dreadlord67 amen brotha amen

[pistol6620]

@Dreadlord67 especially the food huh? i saw the rice cake he was eating and it made me smile! it made me remember the bad with the good! Not a bad video thou really captures the culture.

[dashizna786]

god.. its not even pre season yet and already this video wants me to go out and rip a guys head off- senior year.. lets go

[BoomHeadShotFTW]

This up comming season could not come soon enough

[kailyn2894]

I love this ad. I'm not a wrestler though. I'm a BJJer. Brazilian Jiujitsu to you. :P

[TheWWEfan209]

I wrestled for two years and it's hard to lose but with wrestling it wasn't just a sport to me it became a second family because i had a ton of good friends who became brothers. Some people may think they're done with the sport after high school or college. No chance in hell wrestling never leaves you

[ValenciaWrestling11]

Story of my life

[bluepplrock]

@kingcrazy510 People tell me the same exact thing I never go to any of the dances or Other sports games all I do is train, train, and train im one of the most anti social person you will ever meet. Also people yell at me all the time saying i starve myself when i really dont i just eat in moderation

[kingcrazy510]

I'm always that kid listening to his ipod... People think I need to be more social.... Not during wrestling season I told them

[TheVietTruong]

amazingly true

[mtrivera12]

What do the gold pins signify? and i loved the video its so true

[Bargains1]

@mtrivera12 I don't know exactly 100%, but the gold pins probably represent the amount of opponents you've pinned down during a match. It's an instant win regardless of points if you pin your opponent.

[Killamontarisaun]

one moment, you're disgusted with yourself. the next, you're on cloud nine and feel like you can take over the world. people think football brings out character, this makes boys men within the first practice.

[photographymatt]

This was..wow, just amazing. and I love how technology has changed that dslr are used to make adverts/film pieces like this.

Beautiful piece of film and I wish my country had a love of wrestling, maybe school would have been more fun? Trying to make up for it now :-)

if you lose, two choices..lay down and die, or get back in the gym and train!

[piccardt1]

the realest sport



[Bdktv32]

It's so hard but so rewarding

[carloscruz2652]

Sick!

[L33t0wner]

I couldn't have put it any better myself.

[Raltsy]

I almost cried watching this, it's quite motivational, I can't wait to get back on the mat.

[42GKing]

motivation

[bluepplrock]

I lost all my varsity matches except for 1 as a freshman but in the off season i worked hard everyday and came back and went to state but the most important thing i learned if your gonna win is u gotta beat him mentally first if u dont do that ur never gonna beat him physically its the hardest sport in the world that not everyone can do to the people that lose keep workin hard and eventually u will get ur hand raised

[justinABASOLO]

@bluepplrock youve inspired me to do the same

[Georgey2007]

Wow. That commercial was amazing and inspirational! It really stirred my spirit! My hat goes off to Adidas and the actors!

[littlecow44]

every time i lose a match i start crying and my coach is like stop whining. im not whining, im freaking pissed off when i lose to someone i should beat. or to anyone, really.

[redbulldog]

@littlecow44 Your coach is right. Stop crying. You're a wrestler.

[springstownewildcat]

Awesome!!!

[ViolentNirvana]

we might fucking cry but we have a reason dammit! no one under stands but us

[imperfection32]

@ViolentNirvana bro i agree 100% everytime i lose i tear up the shit out of the locker room, non-wrestlers think i have anger problems... they dont get it

[widehead1234]

iv lost 13.3 pounds in one practice and i was 160lbs with 7% bodyfat this past season

[darklord220]

FUCK YES

[TrunxX69]

whats the name of the music.?

[Jonnick11]

thanks,you are a champ! anyway.by being a good wrestler and sponser.peace.

[DeadliestWarrior103]

@fanofsandler true that!!

[Jonnick11]

love it,this is for real.a champion is born!!!!!!!

[wrestler204]

@Jonnick11 a champion is never born... they train and train and earn it its never given to anyone

[donoped]

been there. got killed in my first 2 matches and i won my third one in over time. best feeling ever knowing that i could do it. once u get the first win under your belt you really start to love the sport.

[musicpirate08]

I love this video. It really shows what wrestling is all about

[jonaytruelove4909]

Does anyone know who played this version of prelude

[jakeisabamf93]

best video ive ever seen about wrestling.

[88GuitarGuy88]

How is it possible not to like this...

[SuicidalPandaz]

why are they mad?

[Lilphill27]

" Every day my goal was to work so hard that I would have to have someone carry me of the mat."  -Dan Gable

He nevr reached that goal no matter how hard he trained he always found the strength to pick himself up and keep moving. think of this when u wrestle at practice and think that you want to quit because ur working so hard. this goal that he nevr reached got him the Gold for the USA and got him the title "the best wrestler to walk on earth."

[fanofsandler]

the only flaw i see in this movie is there is a scene where the wrestler is eating...

[jagpalsukhraj]

@fanofsandler lmao so true i wrestle i hav to cut weight like 8 lbs in three days its horrible

[oleks94]

@fanofsandler wrestlers cant eat?

[mrwhitebmx]

@oleks94 if your trying to go t a lower weight no.

[xboxking35789]

@fanofsandler he was watching his friends eat when he was eating the rice cakes...i know his pain, i need to lose 10 pounds in a week

[fbla77]

4:32... So true. Anybody in a wrestling family greets his bro with an arm drag, elbow post / pass, or duckunder lol

[jtohcek]

@fbla77 Is there any other way to greet someone?!? haha Seriously that part out of all them related to me the most now that I am at a point in my life where I don't compete but have kept the friendships from the sport.

[3737jak]

@fbla77 haha i do it to my dad every time i see him

[Blastgun2]

A good good wrestler takes a loss like a man. Yeah everyone probably has been through this at least once but there is no reason to go and cry or break stuff. You suck it up like a man because this is a man's sport and train harder and BETTER because you can't change the past, but you can change the future. Also if you throw you're headgear, its stupid because you're gonna have to pick it up.lol Trust me I've been through this and its just useless.Wrestling=my life <3

[MrFuckyourlifeee]

they over did it with the make-up but it was good tho

[dsettleascii]

everyone thought i over reacted to a loss they didnt realize that it mattered to me, my team sucked only 3 of us ever won more than 3 matches and all 3 of us placed in upper state

[wildabeast135]

this whole video is the story of my life

[RelentlessDrumCovers]

What is the name of the song used in the video?

[CrownChimp]

@RelentlessDrumCovers the song is a rendition of Chopin's Preludes, Op. 28, No. 4 in E Minor. We had our composer do an original electronic/synth recording of it. He's a really talented musician- he did all the ambient sounds in our Clinch Gear pieces too.

[asdajfbiaf]

my first varcity match i lost and i went into the locker room and punched a whole threw my locker then i trained and trained and went out and won it all wrestling isnt just a sport its life style

[CrownChimp]

@asdajfbiaf We've all been there

[idropbombes]

@CrownChimp

Yes we have lol. I know what it feels like to lose a tight match against your most hated rival by 1 or 2 points. I also know what it feels like to get your hand raised against that same punk.

[USSLionfish298]

yeah we have, i lost all 14 of my matches, i know how it feels to loose, it made me feel like a failure, but i did improve; my last match, i only lost by one point, cause i go a kid with a move that he never saw or learned before. The move that got me three times, was being stacked, that move is hard to get out of, its harder to get ut of than the cradel.

[MrC00lkiid]

no feeling like the humiliation after a loss. no feeling like the one after victory; the pride, the sense that youve proven to yourself that you have what it takes...to win.

[notavailable1015]

Truly Inspireing

SIck Singlets too

[ysadude]

This is an epic video and should give all wrestlers a greater sense of pride in the sport.

[saltybacon26]

this just made me go outside and run
