Â Kid Kash is opening a new American style wrestling academy in the UK called House of Grind.

ProWrestling:UK Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 "You won't even set foot in the ring until you've proven yourself out of it. You'll do so many Hindu Squats you won't walk properly for weeks. You'll do so many press ups and sit up you'll have to get someone else to tie your shoe laces for you. You'll climb up ropes, swing sledgehammers, flip tractor tyres and fight each other shoot style. If you can survive all that, then and only then will you be taught any wrestling. If you're strong enough to survive this and impress the try out team you'll be invited to train for six months straight at the House of Grind." Â The above is a quote taken from the website.

Secondly, its about pacing yourself during a match. The shoot wrestling matches last usually five minutes and most students give their all within the first minute so are then struggling for the remaining four. They soon learn to take it easier!

TheShowOff Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The theory that being put in shoot holds prepares you to sell them better in a working fashion is beyond stupid. Not least because wrestling is a show, and is designed to be OTT in all aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Utter bollocks. That type of match that they are talking about shows fuck all about what a person is capable of. All it shows is how good you are at struggling and if you are going to cry if someone lays into you a bit. Do you think Johnny Storm would last in one of these types of matches yet is one of the best high flyers of his time. Making someone do squats and sit ups tells you nothing about their true character and if they are worth investing time and energy in teaching them. Sure it will get rid of the weak people quickly, but there are plenty of weak people that given the right time and investment will go on to do huge things.

Â The shoot wrestling is not about stretching people. We don't intend to sort through people by who crys and who doesn't. Its a conditioning exercise mainly but certainly does help with selling. The idea of the shoot is not making your opponent submit, you merely get them to their back then both stand up and start again. Sit up and squats and other such workouts are not about finding out about peoples true character. Its about who can survive the sort of workout you'd be expected to do if you were to work in Japan, WWE/TNA as ultimately this is the goal of House of Grind. This is the type of workout Kash has been doing and teaching for years and knows exactly what is expected of people going for tryouts with the big companies seeing as he has worked extensively for them. Its not everybody's way of training but we're not looking for everybody, we're looking for the standout guys in the UK and Europe. And don't focus too much on the workout part, there is plenty of wrestling in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A business that permits me to couple my twin loves of making money and slapping people around. I'll get some publicity, even if I have to drag it into the ring by the hair".

Do you think if an actor was having a hard time "selling" a stabbing that the director would take them off set and stab them for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested 'some' people struggle with selling not all! I would suggest in the acting world if they couldn't sell a stabbing they wouldn't have the job. As I've said previously, this is mainly a conditioning exercise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
