American Hero Jordan Burroughs’ Training For Japanese Wrestling Sensation Puts Fans in Frenzy: “Diabolical”

When we see athletes wrestling on the mat, they seem to do it with ease. But much of the hard work, dedication, enthusiasm, and grit goes into giving those performances. Wrestlers or any athlete go through tough training sessions; dedicated regimes need to be followed, and such examples can be seen in history. However, the wrestling community and fans have recently witnessed the same.

Jordan Burroughs was training a world champion of Japan. Who, you may ask? 20-year-old Masanosuke Ono is being trained by Jordan Burroughs breathlessly. Yeah, read it right. That’s what he posted on his social media. Masanosuke Ono has posted a video on his Instagram story, in which he is seen running on a cycle ruthlessly. He added a text, “I can’t breathe.” But how are they collaborating, despite belonging to different countries?

Jordan Burroughs and Masanosuke Ono have collaborated for a campaign, and Ono is a guest at that camp, which is scheduled to be held on December 29 at Sam Coursen Wrestling Center. This collaboration is part of a broader initiative by Burroughs’ “All I See is Gold” Academy, which is working to bring the talent together on one stage.

The sessions are divided into two different age groups, 8-13 years and 14+ years old. Aspiring wrestlers can get entry with a registration charge of $75 for members and $100 for non-members of the academy. The 20-year-old freestyle Japan wrestler Ono wrestles in the 61 kg weight category with a knack for wrestling.

His presence will benefit the sport locally and also set the stage for stronger global competition in the years to come. With this exciting event, fans are talking about Ono’s training session with Jordan Burroughs.

‘Unreal’: Fans are rooting for Masanosuke Ono after the training video

The post on X, which includes Ono’s Instagram story, is going viral, and fans are reacting their hearts out for Ono. The caption reads, “Coach JB putting Ono to work already 😭.” And, the heart emoji says it all; to see Ono like that is so heart-wrenching, but one has to go through tough sessions to become a top wrestler. Wrestling and Ono’s fans are pouring in their love, and someone even showed a desire to get trained under Jordan Burroughs.

One fan commented, “I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back with the JB cardio,” while another noted, “His pace is already insane, so….” The intensity of the training prompted a user to remark, “’I can’t breathe’ is diabolical.” The Instagram story Ono shared reads, “I can’t breathe.” Despite the session’s apparent difficulty, some expressed a desire to train under Burroughs, with one stating, “Even though this looks rough, I want to be trained by Coach JB too😞😞😞.” The overall sentiment was encapsulated by a succinct comment: “Unreal.” Every aspiring wrestler’s dream is to get trained under a legendary coach like Jordan Burroughs. So, it’s a fair ask. If that was not enough, Ono’s training was noticed by some notable figures.

The content director at FloSports, Christian Pyles, reshared the X post that shows Japan’s Ono training session with a quote. He captioned, “😂 Ono goes too hard!!” One user praised Ono by saying, “He’s like every youth wrestling kid except he’s a world champion.” Masanosuke Ono won gold at the 2024 World Championship in Tirana and the U20 2024 World Championships in Pontevedra.

Ono has become the talk of the town with his tough training sessions and seems like he will give a tough fight in his upcoming events or championships. What is your take on such harsh training regimes?
