Proven Techniques to greatly improve performance:
1. Center of Gravity: Put both hands together like you are praying, don't cross fingers, palms and finger should be together. Now, draw a line with your fingertips moving you hands up and down. This middle portion of your body is your center of gravity and if you hips, shoulders, heads are aligned towards your opponent you have the advantage to take them down. Even if you get a inch to the side of your opponents center of gravity you are in a superior position.
2. Wrestling only comes down to three basics moves: Double leg, tilts, and stand ups. If you mastered these you can master the sport.
3. Blindfolded wrestling.
5. Keeping hands in front of you at all times, grabbing opponents wrist before going for the head, touching the ground to make sure you are low enough so opponent doesn't double leg you.
Next Level Mindset:
In order to reach a more advanced level of the sport the athlete needs to realize that there are different styles in their opponents game. Go to the Video page of this website and scroll to the bottom video section. Here we will work on analyzing and understanding opponents and the techniques they use to win.
Analyzing how another athlete is successful is what produces a martial artist who is a master of the sport. Some wrestlers like to just shoot on one leg (in which case you would always keep that legs back), some likes to play angles constantly and pressure the head to shoot to the other side or into the middle (sometimes these are the most troublesome opponents if they are good at this, many are not unless they are advanced), some have center moves that they are unstoppable at but once you learn to not play into their movements that's when underdogs win matches. The same goes for analyzing how certain athletes ankle pick they like to get their opponents wait on their heels even if just a little bit and BOOM they are picked (if you are wrestling this type of person stop them from getting your wait on you heels.) This list goes on and on and it is up to an individual athlete to develop the mind to understand how to adapt to different styles. However, certain methods have been proven to be successful against almost every style and the list above this section aims to pick out stance and technique nuances that can defend and get inside others technique to win the match.
