When your kids refer to you as "wrestlebooking" rather than Facebooking!

When everyone around you thinks you've lost your mind as you twist, turn and contort your body on one side of the gym as your son wrestles on the other side, because you've been banned from mat side by your son.

When you frequent these forums more than any other website and have it pinned to your taskbar for easy access.

Well if one of your loved ones wrestled At a certain weight and you scoped and researched everyone at that weight --- you would probably have a better grasp on it than ranger as well , try it with every class ?? Then complain

I learned from some of the best....Vaughn Hitchcock at Cal Poly was one of the most technical....his best advice was to not throw the legs in at all....break'em down and work from there....College wrestling has riding time....High School does not.....My Collegiate Coach was Armand Brett...CSU Chico....the 1980 Olympic Greco Coach.....legs were not one of his strong points.....Legs are done right when you are hip to hip......Drilled into my head starting in 2nd grade by my brothers High School Coach Norm Foster from Amherst HS in Buffalo.....the guy was a legend.....If you use them....keep it hip to hip......Most of the greats don't use legs...they don't have to....you pound and PIN.....you get your back points from leverage...turks, arm bars and halves..... I have seen so many kids blow big matches....they ride TOO HIGH all the time....your better wrestlers reverse you...and then pin you ! Crab ride just lets you stay out of trouble and run out the clock...use it when you are up against pure speed..Lazy mans way to wrestle ! Just sayin' Nothing and I mean nothing works better than a TIGHT WAIST and WRIST.....or 2 on 1...Tight waist.....hips behind....hips to hips.... and on top....Your absolute best wrestlers have a tight waist you won't forget.......nothing wears out an opponent better....BREAK THEM DOWN..... work the wrists.... and go for your pinning combinations.....OK...I am done preaching !
