Winning Wrestling Moves

Rating:
Summary: Good moves but hard to get right from just reading.
Review: A good all around book for people to read even mothers who want to know what their sons or daughters are doing on the wrestling mat.

Rating:
Summary: Great book, very helpful as a teaching tool.
Review: A very good book with lots of technical information described in easy to understand text. Wrestling vocabulary is necessary to follow some of the descriptions, but the photos are very helpful. Easy to follow, well organized and categorized, you can work on something with the entire team or locate and address a specific individual wrestler's needs. This book helped my son transform from a "headhunter" to a New England Classic Champion. My personal favorite.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: Alot of good moves, especially the takedowns. For the self-defense minded, remenber that this book is for regulated competition, and some of the moves may leave you open for strikes and "illegal" chokes. Try this book for a start, then check out Fighter's Notebook.

Summary: Excellent guide for all skill levels
Review: As an old dog trying to learn new tricks - I didn't start wrestling until I was 30 - I found this book invaluable.

Most coaching books - especially wrestling ones - suffer from the problem of poor quality photography. But here the pics are well-chosen and clear and the text goes straight to the point. And the sheer comprehensiveness of it means you keep returing to it again and again.

Review: I found this book to be great for breaking down moves so that I could drill with my son at home..please read my up coming article about just how I used this great book in "The Single Mom and the Wrestler" Certainly a must for Mom's or DAD's who are rookies in the stands!!

Summary: a great book for intermediate wrestlers
Review: I have been wrestling in high school for 2 years now and this book has helped to introduce me to a lot more moves. I now have a much bigger portfolio of moves and I know how to defend against almost anything in part because of reading this book.

Summary: Great book for beginner and intermediate wrestlers.
Review: I was a 3 time city champ wrestler so I know a plenty about this great sport. I remember reading this book in my sophomore year as I signed up for the wrestling team in my H.S. after they decided to bring the sport back after a one year absence. Everything that the coach thought we weren't ready for the book helped me cover it. I won rookie of the year, city champ and made co-captain as a sophomore The book gave me an edge over several of my team mates (Except the seniors who wrestled in the previous teams.) I'm not saying that the book taught me and made me an outstanding and super wrestler, my coach helped me improve my techniques. I recommend that if you recently joined a wrestling team and have no knowledge other than a couple of moves, buy this book. However, don't let anyone know you're reading it. Surprise everyone by pulling a move during practice and you'll probably make co-captain too.

Summary: An incredible masterpiece of wrestling
Review: I've bought this book, this book is very descriptive every movement, every drill you need is here, with thousand of photographies I was a very limited wrestler, but now with this book I've improved, even people limited or not technically will found new useful stuff, incredible movements, but don't expect miracles, as one of the hardest sports, this implies praactice, practice and practice. If you need some help this book is definetely the "coach" you needed. I recomend this book, is as far as I've seen one of the best books I've ever seen, in wrestling of course. If you are like me, limited technically, this book will get you the result, but as I said before, DO NOT EXPECT MIRACLES.

Summary: great book read for more moves
Review: if u want to get better get this book and take a look, has moves that work and will make you better. just need to practice them. good book for someone that thinks they know it all.
what i think it might be missing is how to defense in your stance without sprawling and showing what college does after that. but still a great book

Summary: great book read for more moves
Review: Just to say this. I am a Martial arts freak. I tend to be less traditional and more "function" orientated. So when wrestlers proved they could fight and win (UFC,Pride, etc..) I decided the best way to handle myself against them was to learn their techniques. Well, needless to say, most wrestling books have little to do with Wrestling and more to do with talking about wrestling. Getting deeper and deeper and into finding out the way to wrestle I came across this book. I had to order it, but it was well worth the time and money. It has a no BS aproach to showing the actual techniques. This book is a graet reference to those who want to learn. The techniques can easily be blended with boxing and submissions to create a very formatable force...well with that positive note said I would also like to warn you...this is a BOOK not a video and it you have to see the techniques in motion you might want to get the "Win Wrestling" videos. If you can afford it get both, they complament each other so well. On another not for the martial artist if you use a wrestling stance blend it with a boxing stance to get the best results.
