If your wrestlers are having any difficulty turning opponents once they are broken down, this video is for you! Tom Brands, one of the finest technicians in the sport today, provides a number of techniques and tricks he teaches (and used successfully as a champion wrestler) to turn an opponent to his back. Four different breakdowns used to drive the opponent's weight forward and out of position are demonstrated, followed by six common situations on-the-mat wrestlers find themselves in after breaking down an opponent; Brands demonstrates how to score from each using the turk or cross wrist series. An excellent "demo clinic" for wrestlers, and their coaches, at any level of competition!
