24.01.2024 My 1.5 hour client continued focusing on Wrestling. Last week we revisited Greco-Roman Wrestling and layered the pinch-headlock. This week we switched to Freestyle Wrestling and focused on the ankle pick. When coaches restrict themselves to mainly using live training models and seek to find activities that encourage the development of certain techniques, it is very interesting to see what can be uncovered. Tonight, for example, as the rounds went on new tactics and strategies to attack-counter-attack emerged. Grips were switched and more confidence was built up to fight for the ankle. Our programme went as follows: Wrestling specific calisthenics - Indian squats and press-ups Pummelling drills - collar/elbow, over-hook/under-hook and arm-drags Grip-fighting for wrists only The warm-up was then followed by these 2 minute live rounds of sparring   Round 1 - Collar/elbow posture breaking Round 2 - Under-hook/over-hook posture breaking Round 3 - Wrist-grab posture breaking Round 4 - Ankle touch shoots Round 5 - Collar/elbow with ankle shoots Round 6 - Ditto Round 7 - Under-hook/over-hook with ankle shoots Round 8 - Ditto Round 9 - Wrist-grab with ankle shoots Round 10 - Ditto This was then followed 2 x 3 minute rounds of Wrestling Round 1 - Greco-Roman Wrestling Round 2 - Freestyle Wrestling https://clubbchimera.com/services/
