Is there anywhere in nyc or staten island where an adult can learn to wrestle? I looked and only see things for kids. Does anyone know anywhere in the nyc or staten island area? are there any other suggestions?

In Manhattan, you could try Twin Towers Wrestling Club, which meets downtown on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Here's some info I found on the web:

TWIN TOWERS WRESTLING CLUB is an amateur wrestling club for adults (18+ or on High School team). Beginners are welcome and are given one-on-one coaching to get started. The Club meets Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9PM at Hamilton Fish Rec Center, an NYC Rec Center located on the SE corner of Houston and Pitt Street ( Ave C) in Manhattan. The Club is mainly for recreational wrestling, open-mat, both freestyle and folkstyle, but some members also compete in local tournaments. Also available is a grappling/submission class. Average attendance is about 25.

If you have an open mind, you could also try the Metro Wrestling Club in Chelsea (14th between 7th and 8th) - also known as the Metro Gay Wrestling Club. Obviously not for everyone. They teach legitimate wrestling to adults (beginners included), but for the most part everyone is also legitimately gay.
