Here is a match from the women’s FILA Junior Nationals. C.C. Weber tech falls Lisa Anson at the 2009 Body Bar FILA Junior nationals in Colorado Springs.
Moves to watch for:
Leg Lace
Single Leg
Arm Bar
Ozzie (What is this move actually called? It is the one where she bends her leg under her leg and rolls.)
There is something to be said about only wrestling freestyle rather than wrestling folkstyle like we do in the USA.
In March of 2010 the USA Wrestling world team wrestled Russia in Nal’chik Russia and the USA Wrestling team got destroyed. I love America and I love USA Wrestling, but on this night in March Russia was clearly the better team. I love how this video was produced.
Danny Felix v Sam Hazewinkle. 2007 Sunkist Kids Wrestling Tournament.
I chose this match as the match of the day because Danny Felix is the WrestlingTrainingMedia.com athlete of the week. We choose a new wrestler each week to highlight. We just started this today so technically Danny Felix is the first WrestlingTrainingMedia.com Athlete of the Week.
Every match that we post on wrestling training media has a purpose. In other words every match has at least one move or battle that relates to the skills that you are teaching and learning everyday in the room. So if you are working on single legs you should type in single leg into the search and it will pull up every match that has a good example of a single leg.
Here are the skills to look for in this match.
Front Headlock
Single Leg Clinch
Enjoy the match and watch for more blog posts about Danny Felix throughout the week.
Kyle Dake of Cornell was the first true freshman to ever win the NCAA wrestling tournament. Montell Marion of Iowa wrestled great but fell a little short. It was a great match.
Some of the coaching points are:
Hi C
Single Leg Defense
Scramble
Riding
Tilt
If you are working on any of the above folkstyle wrestling skills and moves you must watch this match and show it to your wrestlers.
"In “Coaching Young Couch Potatoes,” Michael Clapier teaches coaches what I call Primary Greatness (character/values) as opposed to the traditional Secondary Greatness (winning is everything) as an effective way to mentor young athletes.
I have always believed that winning is only one of many goals set by a wise coach to develop a balanced young man or woman. How valuable it would be if coaches nurtured, inspired vision, and instilled character development into young athletes so they could apply these lessons not only in sports but to life’s experiences."

“I have owned the Championship Access discs for three years and I have to tell you, they work. My kids connect with them and we have been able to help our new coaches clearly understand what we are teaching through every level of our program.”

"Every kid in our program loves technology and my biggest problem is keeping the discs in my bag. They borrow them all the time. They are great!"
