British Wrestling and the Midlands area Wrestling clubs attended the Birmingham 2022 1 Year to Go event on the 28th July 2021.
Commonwealth Games England approached BWA to facilitate #wrestling activity at the event. BWA’s Development Manager, Membership Secretary and Midlands Committee have been working with #Birmingham2022 to host #wrestling at the #1YToGo event. BWA and Birmingham 2022 are keen to support the local clubs through the exposure the #Commonwealth Games provided, this included the support of these clubs:
- Impact Fitness Academy
- Futuwwa Wrestling Club
- Leicester Wrestling Club
- Wolverhampton Wrestling Club
The day consisted of over 300 children taking part and trying out wrestling with tags. We also had Team England Wrestlers Hardeep and Syreus attended with Wolverhampton Wrestling Club to show demonstrations of freestyle wrestling to the general public.
