You?ll be amazed at how easy it is to teach different levels of athletes and how each level of technique is linked to the next. Use Successful Wrestling as a daily guide in your practice sessions, or just leave it on the mat for your grapplers to review. With 669 sequenced photos, this coaching guide will help your wrestlers actually see how various techniques are performed.
The wrestling techniques contained in this coach?s handbook are organized into 18 steps. The steps are divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced skill levels.
A. Beginning: Steps 1 through 8 illustrate basic techniques and fundamental positions requiring continuous movement without changing direction. They include:
stance and movement in standing position,
double leg takedown,
inside leg stand-up,
crossface, and
bar arm, cradle, and switch.
B. Intermediate: Steps 9 through 14 should be mastered by advanced junior high wrestlers and by average or intermediate senior high competitors. The techniques in this section require more coordination and include:
outside fireman?s carry,
single leg attack,
wrist ride,
duck out, and
sit out and spin.
C. Advanced: The advanced techniques are illustrated in Steps 15 through 18 and should be learned by most high school wrestlers in order to compete well at the college level. Requiring a fairly high degree of coordination, these techniques include:
inside fireman?s carry,
cross body ride,
pinning from the takedown, and
arm drags.
If you coach wrestling at the junior high, high school, or college level, you need Successful Wrestling--the book that helps you turn your grapplers into champions--one step at a time.

We want your shoes to fit like they were made for you. Adidas and ASICS generally recommend adding a 1/2 size to your normal gym shoe size. Each shoe's web page mentions when you should add a 1/2 size to your normal gym shoe size. Do not use your current wrestling shoe to size a new pair. A majority of sizing errors is because customers order based on their current wrestling shoe. We find this works for almost all of our customers that listen to our recommendations.
We offer one free exchange for sizing. Please take them to the United States Postal Service and write on the back of your order that you would like to exchange your shoes for another size. Be sure to tell us what size you would like. Also, be sure to pay for tracking, delivery confirmation and appropriate insurance. We will refund the cost of shipping when we receive your order back. We will need to obtain your credit card information to process the credit for the shipping charges. We will refund up to $10 in shipping costs for USPS Priority Shipping.
In order to qualify for the free shipping back and forth, you must be "exchanging" a pair of shoes. You cannot be returning a pair of shoes for a refund or store credit. The shoe-sizing guarantee does not cover ordering errors.
