Foundations for Heavyweight Wrestlers Series

Kerry McCoy shows in great detail different ways for your heavyweight to increase his offense from his feet while decreasing his opponents scoring chances. The cornerstone to successful wrestling is proper stance - the wrestler in the best position will win every time! Following that philosophy, McCoy starts with a step-by-step look at the proper stance that will increase your wrestler's mobility and optimize his positioning. McCoy covers two of his favorite takedowns - the High Crotch and Sweep Single. McCoy breaks down each move clearly, showing at least three different set-ups and finishes for each move. The key points are hammered home through repetitious drilling of each set-up and finish. This is a great tape for the beginning heavyweight who is looking to become comfortable on his feet, and for the advanced heavyweight who is looking to fine-tune his technique.
