How to Break Down Wrestling Technique
We all want to learn technique and do it fast. I often have to tell athletes to slow it down so I can help them work on very specific areas.

I've seen many great wrestlers who learned how to be tough competitors without high level technique. In good time, the technique will come with work and repetition.
