the first-ever NWCA "National Prep Coach of the Year," (won the award 3x)Year-in and year-out one program has been at the top of the high school wrestling world - Blair Academy. Now, for the first time ever, head coach Jeff Buxton open the doors to his practice room to give you an inside look at how he runs Blair Academy wrestling practices.

This video set gives you an excellent look at five in-season practices that focus on technique instruction and drilling segments. Glean valuable tips and ideas on how to set-up "slow drilling" and "hard drilling" sessions that will allow you to get very technical in your teaching. These fast drills will help develop your wrestlers in a live setting and teach them to react and fine-tune their technique so they can match up with the very best.

Buxton coaches a lot of technique in these five practices. You will see how he teaches in a group setting and in one-on-one situations. Techniques include:

• Motion on the Feet - Create angles to get to the other side of your opponent and score.
• Defense - Learn Buxton's down block and sprawl technique to make your opponent "pay the price for shooting."
• Cut-Aways - Keep your wrists free and learn to get away if your opponent has his arm inside or gets his hands locked.
• Knee Slides and Change-Overs - Get your opponent on top moving and allow your guys to escape quicker.
• Inside Control and Attacking the Hands - Snap down and go behinds, mat returns, wrist tilts and more!

Buxton focuses a lot of attention on the Turk. He delivers a detailed breakdown of how he teaches the hold and provides a few variations of it to earn back points based on how your opponent tries to defend. He shows drills at different levels on the mat that you can put your wrestlers in so they can transition from a takedown right into a Turk.

In addition to the wrestling technique, you will see a unique horizontal and vertical rope workout, as well as a version of Blair's kettle bell and sand bag strength and conditioning circuit.

All Access videos are designed to allow viewers from all over the world to see how successful coaches run their practices in a "live" practice setting. All Access videos allow viewers to see the practices un-edited and in real-time. You will see how top coaches run their drills, interact with their team and staff, how they motivate their team, the cue words they use, the atmosphere of the practice and how practices are structured from day to day. Many coaches visit successful colleges and high schools to watch practice. But if you live out of state or out of the country, visiting another coach's practice can be costly. That's why we created the All Access Practice Series of videos -- to bring the practices to you!
