Strider Wrestling Blog

After the second week of Strider Wrestling's fall session, things are definitely picking up. Thirteen wrestlers came to the College Church location last night, and they were all ready to learn. As usual, we focused on the basics, again refining stance and motion before moving on to the attack step, power triangle, and finishing a double leg takedown. One point I try to get across to them is that even if you practiced something last time you were here, it doesn't mean you are an expert. I've wrestled for fifteen years, but the first thing I work on at every practice is still stance, motion, and my attack step. Only once you are competent at these basic skills can you move on to more complex motions and techniques. As the saying goes, you have to crawl before you can walk.
