Where do you learn wrestling?

If you aren't in high school, where can you learn wrestling? They don't teach it in any gyms I've seen.

I've always wondered the same thing. I have a couple of friends that wrestled in high school, and have shown me some things, but it's not really a set schedule, and it's more like going over some techs/moves instead of an actual class with the drills, etc.

Many college campuses (such as the one I attend) have recreational wrestling clubs or intramural teams. But to be honest, if I were you I'd just go to a fresstyle submission grappling school that has a wrestling influence to their style (i.e. not a pure Bjj school). The wrestling knowledge you'll get at a place like that will be more than sufficient, and also won't be nearly as limited and impractical for free fighting as high school level wrestling tactics are.

I didn't wrestle in high-school either, luckily I found a guy here in town that works with me, also at BeverlyHillsJJ there are some wrestlers.
This is no substitute for you but I bought the Dan Gable
wrestling essentials tapes and I think you can learn a lot from them if you are a beginner. I train with a partner 3 times per week to the tapes. I have a submission background so I think its easy for me to pick up the info. on the tapes.
