Instructional Video: Pinch Power Half Anyone who has wrestled with me in the past knows that my weakest position is top. I’ve always envied guys like former teammate Ray Hanley for how simple they made riding, turning, and pinning opponent’s look. It goes to show that six months after I started this blog I am […]
Instructional Video: Gator Roll I am posting this move for Coach Bloom’s Brooklyn Tech wrestling team. Thanks for inviting me on Wednesday to be a guest clinician. A great group of guys and girls that are going to do big things in New York City and the state this year. Good luck and keep working […]
Instructional Video: Single to Double The video below is the next move you would go to if the single to limp arm does not work for you. With the single to double you have to use your opponent’s momentum. This move will take a decent amount of practice as do all of the moves where timing is […]

Instructional Video: Fireman’s Overhook
Instructional Video: Fireman’s Alternative Sometimes when you are using the rotating setup I show in the fireman’s carry post, your opponent does not cooperate. He might know that you are a good fireman’s carry guy and that is why you need to know this alternative finish. The previous fireman’s finishes I have shown the past […]
Instructional Video: Fireman’s Finish 4 The simplest and probably most effective finish if your original fireman’s carry is a bust.
