Honest review: Wrestling is brilliant but cauliflower ear without headgear is real

Wrestling has been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness and mental health. The hip toss and the deeper mat returns keep training mentally engaging in a way the gym never did.

But I want to be honest: cauliflower ear without headgear. Nobody told me about that before I started and it caught me off guard. Invest in proper wrestling shoes early — again, something I wished I'd done sooner. live drilling intensity came later than I expected but when it arrived it was worth the wait. Four stars rather than five because of that one persistent issue.
