I have decided to offer the content of this great ebook for free if you view from the website.

Preface - Originally designed as a syllabus for teachers and students in the restling skills and techniques classes at Springfield College, the materials in this book have also been successfully used as a self-teaching manual by wrestlers and coaches throughout the country. The content and its arrangement is the result of many years of experience in developing an effective wrestling program.

1. Introduction - This course is designed to provide the student with the experience, skills, and understanding necessary for effective participation in wrestling, so far
as it is possible to do in 30 lessons. The material for this course has been selected on the basis of the following factors:

2. Warm-up & Conditioning - The mat drill is a mass-exercise activity that involves the practice of individual wrestling techniques. This drill is similar to the so-called football grass drill, except that the action applies to skills in wrestling. The members of the class space themselves over the mat area so that there is at least a double-arm interval between them.

A. Start. The start is a standing position with the hands resting on the legs just above the knees.   The arms are straight and the weight of the upper body is resting on the hands.
