pandemonkium   10 #1 Posted February 12, 2012 My 10 y/o is crazy about WWE wrestling. She knows all the stats etc and she would like nothing more than to be a WWE Diva. We have both had a search about for a local gym that could help. So far no joy. Could any of you fine people help us out with any suggestions ?? Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Many Thanks  Why not get her to your local Judo or JuJitsu club, where she could learn how to really look after her self and if, when older, she still wants to do WWE style wrestling, she could take all the other competitors apart!

Fred1 Â Â 10 #9 Posted February 13, 2012 I agree with Grappler. Wrestling can be fake, and sometimes dangerous. Why not take her along to a judo or jujitsu club or another martial art that uses wrestling style fighting and caters to juniors. Try this: http://www.japanese-martial-arts-sheffield.co.uk there are also quite a few others in the Sheffield area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
