 Rating:  - Best Wrestling Book todayI love this book so much, I encourage my entire team to purchase this book. I started to develop as a wrestler by looking in a book memorizing a few moves and then trying them in practice the following day during live wrestling. This book is fantastic. I use the moves when I wrestle live. I was a Connecticut large school state champion, and wrestled in the top 20 divison 1 and this book is extremley valuable.

Rating: - Best technique book on the marketThis is the most comprehensive book on wrestling technique I've been able to find. The chapters are as such: Basic Skills; Takedowns (106 pages worth!); Escapes and Reversals; Breakdowns, Rides, and Pinning Combinations; Freestyle Turns. The emphasis seems to be on takedowns, but the other sections are good too.
