Positioning is the most critical aspect of wrestling.
“You do not win wrestling matches with moves, you win wrestling matches with great positioning”
Dan Gable
Positioning: To get your body into a position where your opponent can not do much to you and from which you can more effectively score.
Hand Fighting
Being aggressive means attacking your opponent’s wrestling stance, not shooting.
Objectives
- Do not be comfortable to be on the mat with.
- Do not stand and stare at your opponent.
Push, Pull, Circle Pull, Hit, and Fake
Two Rules for Attacking an Opponent’s Stance
1. Hands move/Feet move
2. Break his stance and improve yours
