Wrestling and self control

An esteemed MP has suggested wrestling may help young men quell urges and anger:

Teach boys to wrestle to stop knife crime, says Miriam Cates

‘It would help them learn self-control,’ says former Tory MP who co-wrote social report that paints grim picture of plight of young men


Young boys should be taught to wrestle to stop knife crime, Miriam Cates has said.

The former Conservative MP has helped author a social report entitled Lost Boys, which found young women were earning more than young men for the first time.

The report, by the Centre for Social Justice think tank, also found boys lagged behind their female peers at every stage of their education.

Speaking at the report launch on Wednesday, Ms Cates said young boys should be “taught to control natural aggression” by wrestling.

She pointed to the charity Lads Need Dads, where she said men would often “just wrestle with these young boys” to help them have self-control.
