Great book on basic wrestling skills:

I've looked at a lot of grappling and wrestling books over the years, but none of then covers the basic skills as thoroughly as this one does. The book starts off by giving a history of wrestling, going all the way back to ancient times. Another beginning chapter covers the fundamentals of a wrestling training program, like dieting and the nature of excersises. Much more detail is given to the seven basic wrestling skills: stance, movement, penetration, lifting, back arching, backstep, and changing levels.... more info

Excellent Source for First or Second Year Wrestlers...:

This is an excellent book for first or second year wrestlers. It's well-illustrated and descriptive in a simple manner. I'd recommend it highly to anyone whose just starting out, or to a parent of a youth or beginning wrestler.

Solid resource for beginning wrestlers:

Too often, wrestling coaches and wrestling books fail to build a solid foundation for wrestlers. The athletes wind up not reaching their potential. This book avoids that problem. It teaches the athlete all the basics, without distracting him with advanced topics he is not ready to learn. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to start wrestling, and to many people who have already been into wrestling for a while.
