How popular is Freestyle wrestling in Japan?

Question:


Is it taught in schools and universities?

Answer:


It isn't as popular as it used to be. My husband was a wrestler in high school in Japan and was offered a scholarship to a university, but nowadays that probably wouldn't happen. He was in high school 25 years ago or so.

Professional wrestling is much more popular, sad to say. There are some clubs around that teach Freestyle wrestling, but there aren't that many now.
