Continuing with the theme of wrestling and its relationship to

Ever since starting AttackStyleWrestling.com I have has Martial Artists of all different disciplines signing up for advice on learning wrestling or teaching wrestling. Most are either instructors that wish to teach wrestling skills more effectively at their gyms and give their students a better experience or they are athletes from all backgrounds wanted to integrate wrestling skills into their existing skills and expand their combative arsenal. It has been exciting to see so many people of different backgrounds come to our site for information and instruction. But my biggest fear has always been that I would overload people new to our sport by dumping too much information on their lap. That’s why I have taken it upon myself to reach out to some of the best developmental wrestling coaches that have a background in MMA both as competitors and coaches. One of the first people I reached out to Coach Mark Strickland. I consider Coach Strickland to be one of the best developmental coaches in the country and he has been involved in MMA as a competitor and coach for nearly 10 years. Check out the recent podcast I hosted with Coach Mark Strickland and learn more about his past, how he has come to be one of the best wrestling coaches for youth and high school wrestlers in the nation as well as:

With the start of any wrestling season, whether it be high school, college or freestyle and Greco-Roman, getting your wrestlers to focus and frame their mind is crucial to development. On Episode 7 of the Attack Style Wrestling Podcast, coach Daryl Weber identifies three main areas with your wrestlers to get their mental framework and mindset in gear. Be Coachable 1. Don’t look for easier way than coach is telling you. 2. You will always find someone to tell you the easier road is acceptable. 3. Life will be much easier, if you are coachable. You improve quicker, have more confidence and aren’t always looking over your shoulder. Be Positive 1. Anyone can be positive when all is good. 2. Mentally tough people find a positive spin when the chips are down. 3. Example: If you get taken down and start shaking your head. 4. Expect & Be Prepared to Deal with Adversity Be Accountable 1. When coach corrects you, does it upset you or do you have a sense of urgency to correct things? 2. Most people are quick to throw pity parties. Separate yourself from the pack by holding yourself accountable regular. The Attack Style Wrestling Podcast is brought to you by AttackStyleWrestling.com.

Drills are an important part of any wrestler's growth. On Episode 5 of the Attack Style Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Christiansburg High School coach Daryl Weber and legendary former Iowa wrestling coach Dan Gable on the fundamentals of drilling for wrestlers and coaches. There are hundreds of different drills wrestlers can use to perfect their technique, but finding the right techniques for the right wrestlers is also a key component of coaches teaching their wrestlers. Coach Gable talks about the drills he picked up and used while coaching at Iowa and Coach Weber breaks down how he goes about teaching young wrestlers to know how to drill before they even get to learning how to perfect the technique. Attack Style Wrestling provides a great teaching tool with its Skill Development and Drill Pack, available at AttackStyleWrestling.com/products.
