The second session at Lawndale also took place on Tuesday night. There, the kids built on what they learned on Monday. We also had four more wrestlers than the day before. On Monday, they learned about stance, motion, and inside attack step. On Tuesday, they applied each of those skills to learn a double leg takedown. Teaching wrestling is like building a house. You have to have a strong foundation before you can move on to more complicated things. It isn't always fun to learn about stance and motion, but it is vitally important to wrestling success, and the double leg takedowns the wrestlers learned on Tuesday are better than if we had ignored the foundation.
