A Center City Location to Wrestle?
Need to gauge your interest in using a Center City wrestling facility. Currently, no wrestling mats accessible by SEPTA regional rail or subway. The Club has the opportunity to obtain a facility within the Suburban Station concourse which will provide space for 3-4 mats, plus full-service men's and women's locker room with sauna and steam room. There is also space for a beach wrestling pit. The mats would be accessible daily, using your USAW card for access. Both subways and all SEPTA trains are w/n short concourse walking distance. Please respond whether you would like us to pursue this.

Additional Information
The scale weight is obsolete, an antique joining the horse and buggy.
A paper for the University of Pennsylvania School of Liberal Professional Studies has developed a new way to weigh-in wrestlers. "Determining a Mathematically Accurate and Medically Sound Weight Classification for Wrestling" was written by the Honorable Peter J. Wirs, himself a competitive Masters Division wrestler along with Dennis DeTurck, Phd, of Univ. of Pennsylvania; Darius J. Adams, M.D., Director, Jacobs Levy Genomic Medicine and Research Program, Alantic Health System and Gary Dorshimer, M.D., FACP, PCPP, CAQSM, a leading Sports Medicine physician at University of Pennsylvania's Penn Medical System.
Not only is this formula safe for properly pairing competitors, but is expressly aimed to prevent wrestlers from the dangerous "cutting weight" practice before tournaments.
