by Barry Davis,
Head Coach University of Wisconsin, Olympic Silver Medalist, 3X NCAA Champion at Iowa, Career wins leader (162) at Iowa

Four-time All-American Barry Davis takes a detailed look at scoring with the legs - both offensively and defensively. Davis begins on the mat demonstrating different ways to defend against leg riding wrestlers. He demonstrates five different ways to prevent an opponent from getting the leg in on your wrestler. Davis' philosophy is that an aggressive wrestler always has more opportunities to score. With that in mind Davis shows not only how to prevent the opponent from getting the leg in, but also how to score from those situations. Should the opponent manage to get a leg in, Davis presents five different options for your wrestler. The second half of the tape focuses on leg riding with Davis demonstrating proper technique as well as a number of tilts and turns featuring the bar half series. As a special bonus, Davis provides a number of different tips on turning the opponent to his back without a leg in using the bar half. Throughout the video Davis passes along drilling ideas to help practice the moves. This tape will help your wrestlers become more comfortable using the legs or defending against them.
