#wrestlingwednesday - today we focus on recovering from a bad shot with coachgjones
-
You hear me say it all the time about wrestling; it’s not about getting to the legs and finishing “clean” that will win you matches, its recovering and wrestling out of bad positions.
-
At the highest level, everyone has good defense.
-
No matter how fast or well timed your shot is, at the highest levels, you will encounter guys with great defense and reaction time.
-
The step-slide drill is my favorite shot drill of all time.
-
Here my partner troylamson pulls is leg back, I recover by stepping, sliding my knee in and getting the angle(head up, chest up, hips in).
-
Then we want to try and get that outside arm as deep as possible.
-
If you can control his hips, you can control his body.
-
Keep wrestling out of bad positions and getting more confidence in positions that seem foreign.
-
See you at the top!
