The rules to collegiate wrestling are pretty basic and standard, so it is not a complicated style of wrestling to learn. If anything is the trickiest to learn it will be the wrestling moves themselves. Just remember not to stall during a match. So whether you are on top, bottom, or neutral you better always be wrestling or it may cost you the match.
