Now lets talk about the most detrimental mistakes that can be made by not only beginning wrestler, but more experienced wrestlers as well. This mistake would be not fully understanding the rules fully, and how to execute moves properly. After discussing these problems there will be some wrestling tips listed to help anyone with these problems. So first off lets discuss wrestlers who dont fully understand the rules of wrestling. Even if someone is just a little unsure then this can effect their wrestling greatly. Because this will make you wrestle more conservitaly to make sure you dont break any of the rules and get penalized. For example, lets say you dont know the rules regarding locking around your opponents waist with your arms in collegiate wrestling. In a match you will be apprehensive about ever locking around your competitors waist in fear of getting penalized. This in turn could allow him to excape or even do a couple reversals without you knowing if you can defend by holding him by the waist, or not. Just by not knowing that one aspect of the rules could result in you not being able to be victorious.
Thats why on this site a list of takedowns, escapes/reversals, and pinning combinations will be featured so its easier to learn. For some wrestling tips obviously you need to repeatively practice these moves so they become a natural movement. But more importantly you need to learn moves with proper form and technique. Becuase those are the key things that either makes a move successful or not. So along with the list of moves you will have tips and techniques to each move that you will need to know. The last wrestling tip on this subject would be Do Not try to learn all the moves you possibly can. What you need to do is pick two takedowns, escapes, reversals, and pinning combinations. Then master those moves. If you go off and try to learn everything you can, when it comes to a match you wont remember, or will mix things up. So keep it simple and just specialize in a few moves for takedowns, escapes/reversals, and pinning combinations. |
