Introduction1:01
A veteran wrestling coach shares techniques and principles for youth and collegiate levels. He teams up with his son Kyle Debry and ex-wrestler Robert Rodriguez.
Warm Up Drills18:28
Perform daily warm up drills before practice to sharpen hip heights, sit-out, Peterson, stand up sequences, and chain shots; build stance, movement, hand fighting, and the rule of 25.
Base Offense17:39
Wrestling's base offense uses the high crotch as the foundation, focusing on dominant-to-dominant stance, level changes, and finishing with a double leg takedown.
Finishes10:41
Learn finishes for wrestling, including the high C, running the pipe on the single leg, and the double leg takedown, with correct head position and drive.
The Sprawl8:36
Master the sprawl to defend takedowns by aligning the lead leg as shooting leg and the other as sprawl leg. Use hip-down and spider drills to stay off the head.
Sprawl-Spin-Score7:02
Master the sprawl to neutralize shots, control the leg with cross-face, and slide back with the lead leg as a trigger to spin and score from the rear.
The Start of a Match5:15
Learn how to start a wrestling match effectively by using color lines, avoiding false starts, and handling the opponent's lead leg with hand fighting and careful footwork.
Top Man Alignment12:26
Master top man alignment and mat control by initiating from the whistle, targeting ankles and hips, reading cues like curled toes, and denying the bottom man his escape.
Top Man Breakdowns6:20
Learn top man breakdowns, from proper bottom alignment to finishing with 180 and head lever, through on-mat drills that mirror match situations and enable instant coaching corrections.
The Bottom Man15:25
Build a stand-up based bottom-man offense through staged drills, including pop up, step up, push back, and stand up, emphasizing chest up, hand control, and angling for escapes.
Sit Outs11:15
Explore sit outs, turns, and the turn under from the bottom position to counter top control, execute reversals for back points, and master wrist control and pins through guided drills.
Pinning Combinations11:14
From the top, pinning combinations exploit controlled breakdowns and a 180 transition to pin, using hooks, hip control, and head lever to keep the bottom wrestler flat.
Closing Comments1:08
Practice core wrestling moves daily to progress and become proficient. Use a map-like plan to guide practice across scholastic wrestling, freestyle, and upper-body Greco-Roman techniques.
