This week on The Grapple Of Your Eye Show, we sit down with freestyle wrestling coach Ahileas Bolovan from Neon Martial Arts & Fitness Centre in Southampton to discuss the current state of British freestyle wrestling, grassroots development, and why building wrestling communities online is more important now than ever before.
