Wrestling

In wrestling the overall goal is to control your opponent. Our sessions are geared to assist the athlete in this goal. Sessions are designed to enhance the athlete's endurance for competition. Various drills are conducted to improve quickness aiding the athlete in moving effectively on their feet and on the mat. Overall grip and strength is developed to keep a better hold on the opponent as well as to explode through tactical movements.

Through progressive training, balance and core strength is achieved, which aid the athlete in maneuvering effectively through various body positions, while maintaining a low center of gravity.
