Nature vs. Nurture...In Wrestling Terms

Wrestling is the world’s oldest and greatest sport. Let's keep it that way.

But due to deep and sweeping budget cuts at virtually every College and University across the land, "wrestling" due to no fault of its own could soon find itself in a cross-face cradle of trouble and on the very top of the national sports "endangered list" (see UC Davis).

Some feel unless we do something totally dramatic to make our sport more attractive to the outside world, it's quite possible the oft invisible winds of change have begun a slow erosion process that could lead wrestling to the almost unimaginable state known as "extinction".

Allowing the erosion of wrestling in America is totally unnecessary, and due to wrestling's irrefutable and extraordinarily positive and far-reaching impact on America's collective youth, an unwanted and unwarranted and some say already in motion disregard from educational administrators needs to be firmly stamped on their minds as: not an option.

Not only would America lose one of its greatest sports, droves of people - young and old would be without their life-long passion; and hundreds of thousands of kids would be without their favorite, and perhaps the most beneficial, productive and impactful activity in their lives.

Moreover, legions of good men and women including thousands of outstanding coaches at every level including college, high school, junior high, youth and let’s not forget all the private clubs in the country, the vast network of wrestling reporters in all forms of media including writers, administrators and managing editors producing the countless magazines, websites and publications, and all the fine people who supply our equipment, merchandise and training needs would all be out of a job.

We would all lose.

Although this might paint a less than pretty picture and perhaps one we don't care to look at, we might need to collectively stand-up and exercise our legendary toughness, look the situation square in the eye and discern:

1. If indeed the threat is real
2. Its likelihood to attack us
3. Its inherent strengths and weaknesses
4. Our exact level of vulnerability

Then, and only then, will we be amply equipped with all the pertinent information allowing us the ability to properly create an thoughtful, intelligent and strategic "game plan" specifically designed to adapt, adjust and overcome the impending threat so we can do whatever it takes to win.

J Robinson the legendary Head Wrestling Coach at the University of Minnesota has found success in coaching that most can only dream. He's served the sport his entire adult life and is a leader and innovator of both the sport and men.

J's gotten to where he is today by often being ahead of his time, thinking unconventionally and is regarded by many to be the nation’s leading voice when it comes to wrestling promotion.

Regarding the future of wrestling, J had these potent and somewhat alarming words to say on the topic:

"Wrestling will not die because the coaches at all levels do not know how to do double legs, high crotches and single legs; it will die because the coaches do not market and promote it correctly".

Real talk.

And two-time NCAA finalist for the University of Northern Iowa, youth Coach and college wrestling aficionado Gary Steffensmmeier also weighed-in on the matter and offered this enlightening thought:

"People just assume sports are popular because people are interested - but people are interested because they are well marketed".

Interesting notion indeed and reminds one of Mr. Cart and Mrs. Horse...or was it Mrs. Horse and Mr. Cart?

At any rate, not only are these two men's thoughts quite similar, exceedingly insightful and a bit "outside the box", but both thought-patterns are also filled with something we can all welcome and subsequently sink our teeth into...hope.

If these two sharp wrestling minds are correct, what's popular in American sports has less to do with the actual merits of each sport, and more to do with how it's managed and marketed.

If indeed this be the case, we can all stand up and cheer because the solution to our collective problem is singular ergo surprisingly simple.

The Branding of Wrestling

Tom Brands, the truly amazing Head Wrestling Coach at the University of Iowa and the reigning NCAA Champions three years straight is without question the most colorful attraction the sport of wrestling has to offer the outside world.

He is has this uncanny ability to inspire, the intensity of a thousand suns and to the American people find his work-ethic completely insane. This insanity has become a good thing and serves the sport as a nice drawing card.

However, although his mode of operation indeed fascinating and draws a fair degree of national attention, we must collectively concede this mode of operation has been done before. His name was “Gable”.

And before that that there was Gotch. And before that, Hackenshmidt, and before that etc, etc., etc.

As a matter of fact, since the beginning of its time, wrestling has always been branded with the reputation of being a remarkably tough sport filled with exceptionally tough individuals who are willing to do things that as NCAA Champion Troy Steiner put it, "would make a Billy goat puke".

Perhaps...just perhaps it's time to rethink a few things. Perhaps the world has indeed taken notice of our insane work ethic, unparalleled intensity and unmatched discipline but, (gulp) just doesn’t find it all that interesting.

Indeed hard to swallow but perhaps we have it wrong. Perhaps the proverbial foot we are putting forward is not our best one?

Einstein said "doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity".

Am I suggesting the sport of wrestling should stop working so hard, or that Coach Tom Brands should change his method of coaching for the good of the sport? Absolutely not. He is the reigning champion. That would ludicrous.

What I’m suggesting is something far simpler and very doable; and ground in good old common-sense. All I’m simply saying is perhaps it's time we think about the image we put out to the rest of the world; perhaps give it an upgrade.

Wrestling is a dynamic sport with many facets, strategies, and philosophies.

Being willing to do things that would "make a Billy Goat puke" is just one of them and we must consider that although we think it pretty cool and a source of great pride, perhaps it’s not all that endearing to Mr. Jones and Mrs. Smith. Perhaps there’s a better way.

Truth be told there are numerous aspects of our awesome sport, many of which that might be exceedingly more favorable to the collective consciousness of the American people.

We might be well served to consider some could be infinitely more effective in breaking into the minds of John Q. Public so wrestling can finally get the attention, recognition and appreciation we all think it rightly deserves.

World Class Wrestling Camps - Synopsis

We believe the key to championship wrestling is implementing across the board an intelligent, comprehensive and strategic system that is easy to learn, properly presented, technically sound, works harmoniously and produces constant and never-ending improvement.

We also believe that the teams who either create for themselves or, simply adopt such a system, will instantaneously and consistently rise to the top and be able to produce a assembly line of regional, state, and national Champions.

After 38 years of championship wrestling experience culminating with a seven year study of the absolute best wrestlers and coaches on the planet, we’ve created a unique style of wrestling that due to its supreme strategy, attention to detail, and unprecedented level of systemization is shockingly more effective and efficient than any other camp around.

With a keen allegiance to “Simplicity” and the fearless motto of “Rethink Everything” we broke wrestling down to her barest bones and after gleaning the best of the best from the Gods of Wrestling, we painstakingly built a one of a kind wrestling program that is perfectly poised to catapult your team to the highest of wrestling ground.

Our innovative and tremendously effective techniques are “In the Seed” making them the most potent and powerful on the planet and due to wrestler-like dedication, unwavering commitment and a relentless refinement process, the entire program is boiled down to the inner-core making it not only the best in the world but also the easiest to learn.

Perhaps the rarest beauty with our camp system, besides the fact it’s world-class is that we actually come to your home to deliver the goods and save you HUGE amounts of cash on collective camp fee’s, food and lodging and increasing travel expenses.

The World Class Wrestling Camp is a perfect fit for any team, club or community that’s interested in building an entire program of wrestling champions – not simply a few key individuals.

The God’s of WrestlingThe best of the best.

This is the world-class list of wrestlers and coaches we meticulously studied and gleaned in order to create this perfect blend of wrestling techniques, information and supreme system:

Dave Schultz, John Smith, Dan Gable, Tom and Terry Brands, Kevin Jackson, Kenny Monday, Zeke Jones, Rob Koll, J Robinson, Cael Sanderson, Jim Zalesky, Ben Askren, Lincoln Mcllravy, Royce Alger, Marty Kistler, Marty Morgan, Jim Miller, Chris Short, Mark Branch, Mark Perry, Mike Sheets, Pat Smith, Jay Borshel, Steve Knight, Troy and Terry Steiner, Jim and Jeff Jordan, Jim and Joe Gibbons, Joe Heskett, Brett Metcalf, Melvin Douglas, Ken Chertow, Brian Dolph, Steve Marrianeti, Ed Giese, Melvin Douglas, Johnny Johnson, Matt Demeray, Jim Martin, Barry Davis, Jim Heffernan, Roy Hall, Brett Metcalf, Jon Reader, Dan Chandler, Dan Chaid, Kendall Cross, Bob Siddens, Jack Cuvo, Mike Krause, Matt Fury, Mark Churella, Randy Couture, Joe Scarpello, Cary Kolat, TJ Jaworsky, Bobby Douglas, Dan St. John, Joe Melchoire, Joel Sharratt, The Martin Family, Nick and Tony Purler, Alan Fried, Darryl Burley, Gene Mills, Jason Ness, Brian Dolph, Jeff Buxton, Mike Krause, Randy Lewis, Greg Strobel, Russ Hellickson, Joe McFarland, Stephan Abas, Les Gutches, Bruce Kinseth, Stan Dziedzic, Wade Schalles, Lee Kemp, Mike Land, Dan Zilverberg, Pat Milkovich, Dan Hodge, Chuck Yagla, Bill and Jim Scheer, Ben and John Peterson, Glen Brand,Yojiro Uetake, Carl Adams, Ray Brinzer, Dave Arens and a country full of the top Russians wrestling champions including Bouvaisa Saitiev, Arsen Fadzaev and Sergei Beloglazov.

The Physical Program

It’s all…“In the Seed”

All our camps begin with an incredibly deep-rooted and highly valuable core group of skills-sets, uniformed terminology and comprehensive information that lay the foundation for the wide array of forthcoming specialty techniques.

This informative, practical and conceptual foundation will generously plant all the necessary seeds laying the rich groundwork that will ensure your kids optimal growth by maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of our championship system.

These skills are not only surprisingly simple to learn but at same time highly advanced in functionality and will by-themselves catapult your team’s performance to far greater heights.

All of the information, techniques and drills in this section are excellent content that can be conveniently used by your coaching staff all season long. Our intent is to plant the seeds for growth and believe if you can nurture them via daily/weekly review, they, ergo your kids, will produce great things.

Here’s the “In the Seed” Program…

The Stance – The Epi-Center of it all.

Where it all begins. You don’t get any points for a good stance but it’s perhaps the most important part of your wrestling. A good stance gives away nothing to your opponent but a bad stance unwittingly gives away oceans of unnecessary points.

Moreover, the stance is from where your entire offensive system begins so proper attention to this position is paramount for those wanting to go places.

In addition, a good stance will allow a Coach to move ten times as fast and save on years of correcting problems and frustration.

Head Position

Sometimes it’s the simplest and most subtle of changes that make the biggest of difference.

Head Position is another “In the seed” concept that is far more valuable and than meets the eye. In a nutshell, “good” head-position wins matches - and “poor” head-position loses them.

In this brief but incredibly potent session, your kids will learn and become masterful at both elements of ‘head position’ which will immediately make them both a much more effective offensive and defensive wrestler and enable their skill level to advance at extraordinary speeds.

The Seven Steps to Success

Footwork is perhaps the most misunderstood, least known and under-taught aspect of wrestling in the United States.

Because we don’t get any actual points as a result of good footwork, many coaches have glazed over it. Because our country has mistakenly ignored this area, its chock full of benefit and if properly installed the over-all improvement your team will receive will blow your mind.

This session efficiently and effectively installs all the essential steps in neutral position wrestling which will open the gateway to high level wrestling. Steps covered and mastered in this highly effective lesson include:

1. The Inside Step
2. The Outside Step
3. The Side Step
4. The Slide Step
5. The Hook Step
6. The Hesitation Step
7. The Jam Step

Step into greatness with the Seven Steps to Success and never look back.

P.R.O. Offense System

Pressure – Reaction – Offense.

This is masterful system of takedown wrestling that will instantantly and dramatically elevate your wrestlers’ performance from “A to Z” and, at the same time teach them an extremely valuable concept of wrestling.

Our original PRO Offense is a skill-set that will not only expedite your team’s takedown performance but will miraculously continue to produce rapid growth in all your individuals for their entire career.

The PRO Offense will instantaneously make your entire team look and wrestle like well…a bunch of PRO’s.

The Three "Shuns" of Wrestling

This is the Virtual Treasure Map to Creating Productive and Practical Motion that yields an unlimited supply of prized takedowns.

The treasure M.A.P. consists of three areas of focus:

1. Manipulation
2. Anticipation
3. Penetration

Learn the secrets of this concept wrestling idea and upon completion of this simple but profoundly impactful lesson, you will see not only an incredibly successful group, but also one that is remarkably more fun to watch.

Specialty Areas

The Back-Step: The 8th Wonder of the Wrestling World

This is without a doubt the single most valuable tool in all of takedown wrestling and if properly instilled, the Back-Step will single-handedly empower your wrestlers to takedown anyone on the planet.

For whatever reason, at this point in time hardly anyone knows this amazingly powerful secret and the select few who do are literally making a killing with it. We at World Class Camps can think of no reason why you shouldn’t be in on the secret and using it to your extreme advantage.

With this one small step, each and every athlete in attendance shall become a phenomenally improved takedown wrestler and if properly performed via prescribed and forthcoming combination of hand-positions and set-ups, your team will literally become one big takedown machine.

The Outside Carry:

This is without a doubt the best takedown in all of wrestling.
Want to become great? Lean this move.

Allow us to come in and show and tell your team how to master this one move and they will instantly become one of the best takedown teams in the state. After installation of this incredibly effective takedown your only problem as a Coach will be needing to find a few more managers to help tally all the Takedowns!

Use this move, along with our G-3 Tie-up Series including the High-Hook and the Post, V-Block or Vanishing Wrist and you will have a Takedown System that is not only the envy of the state but also nearly unstoppable.

Stone Wall Defense

Our original Stone Wall Defensive System will change your team now and forever.

Learn to build a Stone Wall today and your entire team will be wrestling like Division 1 All-Americans tomorrow. In this session, discover the subtle secrets of defense and how to employ this simple system and your kids will never, ever get taken down with leg-attacks again.

The Stone Wall Defense is crowned with valuable instruction on how to transition from defense to offense and if time will take you through our primed Counter-Attack System complete with the four essential defensive hand positions, how to gain the angle, and the secrets of attaining the all-important foot.

• The Circle Sprawl
• The 5 S’s of Defense
• The 4 Hand Positions
• Defense’s Triple A - Angles, Arm-pits, Ankles

G-3 Takedown Tie-up Series

Learn today, dominate tomorrow with this NCAA D-1 Series.

The most important part of any move is the set-up.

In order to achieve the set-up, you must first know how to win the Tie-up. The G-3 Tie-Up Series is the most potent Tie-Up series you can use and will hand-deliver your team to countless wins.

The beauty of this series is that not only is it the best way to set up our wide assortment of attacks but it also immediately and masterfully takes your opponents out of their offense at the same time! Adopt this series and let the fun begin.

Seat Belt Series

This series is absolutely priceless.

Not only one of the best series in all of takedown wrestling but also teaches one of the most valuable concepts in wrestling known as “Chain Wrestling”.

Even though “Chain Wrestling “ is considered by the masses to be one of the most critical elements of wrestling success, ask any Coach and he’ll tell you it’s actually a very difficult concept to teach.

However, this exceptionally productive series will successfully accomplish this highly valuable task for you in just one short lesson.

We believe this “Seat-Belt Series” will not only become one of your team’s favorite takedown series’ but because it also single-handedly teaches the concept of Chain Wrestling is worth the price of the Camp all by itself.

*This is simply a snapshot of our amazingly comprehensive, organized and packaged system. We will of course cover as much as humanly possible but of course time, number of helpers you provide and learning ability of your group will dictate how many of the potent lessons we are able to get to.

No one walks away disappointed with our system. If there are portions of the system you definitely want to see covered with your group, simply let your wished be known to Coach Lembeck and he will accommodate all you ask.

If interested in securing a camp date for your team, please contact Coach at: chris@chrislembeck.com

Thank you very much.

The Philosophy of D

Defense is where to begin - each year, every year, no exception.

Whether a brand new wrestler at home in the basement or the beginning of your new wrestling season “defense” is the always the best place to start.

Let me explain…

First of all, “defense” is incredibly simple.

It’s by far the easiest aspect of the entire sport of wrestling if you have the map.

Believe it or not, if done properly, you can have your entire team performing like Division 1 All-Americans inside one week no matter their age or skill level.

The way to achieve this is by choosing, learning and finally coaching the perfect blend of information, concepts and techniques right from the start.

You can do this on your own accord, or can simply use the the forthcoming System that’s been specifically designed for that specific purpose.

The key to achieving what you want here is to teach all and only the best concepts in the proper manner and order.

In order to do this, you need an intelligent, thoughtful, and strategic System that is technically sound, works harmoniously and makes good wrestling sense. Do you have one?

The Mind-Set

Defense is a momentary lapse of reason; it’s a phase, a short spell.

Defense means “to defend” however, the secret and the point of emphasis to your kids is to only be in a defensive mode for a short while.

The main objective is to effectively improve your status as quickly as possible from a situation of defense to a point where you can effectively launch our incredibly potent System of counter-attacks.

Transitioning

When discussing your philosophy at first day of “Defense” I suggest you use and explain to them the concept of "transition".

Truth be told, knowing and understanding key terms, will go amazingly far in his progress and "transition" is one of those key terms to put in your coaching vocabulary, hence your athlete(s).

“Transitioning” is a crucial term in all of wrestling but especially in the “defensive” realm.

Transition is the exact point-in-time when your athlete upgrades from “defense” to “offense”.

This concept should reiterated to your team often along with the point they want to make this moment of transition as quickly as possible each and every time.

Tell your crew it’s essential to have an impenetrable “defense” but somewhat ironically, you want them to use it as little as possible.

The contrast of thought will help the point stick.

Defense vs. Counter-Attacks

Although is sometimes the case, “defense” should not be disrespected.

Because “Defense” wins matches, or perhaps more accurately, it doesn’t lose them.

And for certain, some wrestlers are simply built for a more defensive style of wrestling.

A defensive minded wrestler should not be dodged, averted or suppressed.

A wrestler’s “style” very often is a mirror image of his/her personality i.e. basic, non-stop, physical, unorthodox, conservative, flashy, aggressive, risk-taking, etc.

Although exceptions exist, the degree of correlation is too high to deny.

Given this valuable insight, it might be both foolish and perhaps even counter-productive to try and tamper with something so deep and natural. On this matters and those similar, I suggest you simply go with the flow.

If you have a wrestler on your team who is drawn to the defensive side of things, so be it; as matter of fact, celebrate it.

It might be wise to work with their strengths rather than against them and if you do the chances are good he will become one of the most successful wrestlers on your team.

The key here is to instill in their mind that (in all actuality) he is truly NOT a defensive wrestler.

Do your best with words and actions to make it crystal-clear that he/she is a "counter-attack wrestler". To help seal the deal, you might even from time to time refer to your wretler as a counter-attack "master" or "expert".

The Best Wrestling Requires Patience

“Defense” is what you have your wrestlers employ to win matches while you are working on installing the far more complicated part of wrestling called “Offense”.

A properly applied "defense", hinged to the forthcoming Counter-Attack System will enable your wrestlers to soundly defeat wrestlers who are currently far better.

This will positviely excite and delight your athletes, build confidence, and keep them coming back for more.

In addition, semi temporarily tying one-hand around your wrestlers’ back and making them compete somewhat “short-handed” will automatically and effortlessly bring out their absolute best and exponentially speed up the entire developmental process.

Ever notice how good your hearing becomes if blindfolded for a while? Or hear the phrase “Necessity is the mother of skill”?

By the time you untie their hands and remove the blindfold allowing full sight, his defense will be so amazingly effective, they’ll hardly ever need it.

The Future of Wrestling...Now.

"Rethink Everything" was the motto. Improvement was the focus; wrestling aficionado's the beneficiary and oceans of appreciation the driving force. The result, was a irrefutable change for the better.

G-Style Wrestling

G-Style Wrestling is a system of perhaps the most potent and powerful wrestling information, techniques, philosophy, motivation, attitudes, and strategies ever assembled.

This unique and extraordinarily potent wrestling system has been specifically designed to catapult each and every wrestler, coach, parent and fan to incredibly higher wrestling ground in all areas including but not limited to knowledge, performance, appreciation, enjoyment and success.

Moreover the receiver’s new found, deep understanding and “In the seed” perspective will enable participants to return to their personal wrestling posts and make indelible impacts that will subsequently, dramatically, and collectively improve our entire sport.

The Purpose

The Guru’s definite major purpose is to provide the global wrestling community the most valuable, convenient, beneficial, entertaining, creative and affordable wrestling information on the planet and become the “go-to” source for everything wrestling.

The Creation

It’s not Folk-Style, Greco-Roman, or even Free-Style, it’s…G-Style!

As a result of 37 years of championship experience and a unique seven-year journey of dedicated and focused research as a student of the sport, the Wrestling Guru invented his own unique, original and supreme Style of wrestling.

Crediting his experience with the sport of wrestling as the sole source which instilled the discipline, desire and determination necessary for such an endeavor, the Wrestling Guru dismantled the entire sport of wrestling to its barest bones, gleaned the best information from the best of the best coaches and competitors, and painstakingly built a Style that is truly beyond compare.

History 101

Wrestling is a supreme sport with unprecedented history and prominence. Thereto, the Guru paid homage to that great tradition and honor and yet added something totally new, invigorating and fresh; something that makes wrestling more intriguing, stimulating, and compelling for all involved.

“Somewhat ironically, but by way of history, we’ve modernized the sport of wrestling; in other words, by looking into wrestling’s past, we seem to have created its future”.
-The Guru

According to the Guru, the bulk of the future of wrestling is all in the athlete’s mind. The adage that “wrestling is 90% mental” seems to hold true and is widely accepted by most all the wrestling community.

Guru believes the future of wrestling focuses on better capitalizing on this truth and taking proper advantage of the mental strategies and techniques that are out there and known to work wonders.

“As a result of systematic study and personal experimentation, I’ve come to the conclusion that the fastest, surest and easiest way to help a wrestler become a serious contender is by tapping into the untapped portion of his/her mind”.

The future of wrestling is less about double legs, and more about “visualization”; less about arm-drags and more about “being in the now”; less about short-sits, and more about being properly “centered”.

“I believe there’s more to these semi-mysterious techniques than most of us would have imagined. There’s literally oceans of literature out there showing and telling how to get more out of ourselves and others, and I see no reason why wrestlers shouldn’t benefit from this highly valuable knowledge that’s becoming more main-streamed each and every day”.

To be sure, in Guru’s way of thinking, the future of wrestling is about engaging the athlete’s mind. Due to several factors, one of which is the dominating prevalence of video gaming and its inherent stimulating visuals, creative graphics and intriguing story-lines, the way to the athlete’s attention is by making the necessary wrestling connections via imagination, creativity and originality.

“We must speak the athlete's language; a dose of creativity and imagination when coaching seems to go a very long way in attracting and holding kids’ attention - I think we as coaches need to adapt to the changes that have taken place since we were kids and in my opinion, speaking the wrestler’s language is the perfect place to start.”

Language and Communication

“I believe we coaches should be mindful of the fact that research beyond debate tells us that when learning any new skill, concept or idea – be it a new wrestling move, mathematical formula, business policy or otherwise…gaining the person’s “attention” is paramount”. All learning begins with gaining, earning and holding the “attention” of those you’re trying to teach.

Given this valuable fact, the Guru has kindly developed a clear, concise and creative style of communication that effectively captures and keeps his athletes’ attention allowing the proper focus to receive maximum gain and optimized results.

Truth is, not many coaches are able to invest the time, thought, and energy required to create their own form of communication in order to help their athletes reach the top, but that’s precisely what the Guru did and it’s paying outrageous dividends.

Osmosis Communication

Osmosis Communication makes learning nearly effortless and is the Guru’s secret ingredient.

Seems to be, communication is the driving force behind every endeavor, project and task, bar none. Perhaps most coaches would agree the hardest part of any coaching endeavor is moving the information, attitude and experience from the mind of the coach, to the mind of the athlete.

“Osmosis Communication takes the most difficult part of the coaching process, i.e. the transferring of knowledge from coach to athlete, and makes it simple – and to kids, coaches and parents, perhaps nothing is more welcomed or valued”.

As a result, the information, techniques, and ideas given throughout instantaneously and effortlessly permeate the listener’s gray-matter and become permanent fixtures in their long-term memories allowing for easy listening, application, and recall. For many, Osmosis Communication is the difference that makes the difference.

In all areas of wrestling, and everything else for that matter, Guru seems to favor both simplicity and effortless advancement.

“I understand and respect the value of hard work, but sometimes, it’s all about working smarter, not harder. Often times, the status-quo may not be the best way to go, and every now and again it’s wise to think outside the box and find a better way to do things”.

Super-Techniques

In sweet harmony with G-Style Wrestling and "Osmosis Communication", the Wrestling Guru also invented his own system of Techniques called “Super-Techniques”.

This original, extraordinary and unprecedented System is incredibly easier to learn, shockingly more effective, and exceedingly more fun to practice, perform and watch.

“Because Super-Techniques are better on all fronts, including easier to coach, more fun to practice, and particularly because they’re positively more effective, I believe they’ll become the new standard in the vast majority of wrestling rooms across the country”.

Because of the unique structure, clear communication, ease of comprehension, and the stickiness factor, the techniques demonstrated are designed to instill wrestling advancement beyond compare.

Seeds of Wisdom

Additionally and simultaneously, the Wrestling Guru ingeniously plants several remarkably beneficial seeds of wisdom that will continue to grow, teach and bear fruit throughout the wrestlers’ career. Guru had this to say about his “In the seed” Super-Techniques…

“Even though each wrestler will benefit instantly, the bulk of the information remains in the seed. The Super-Techniques are actually ahead of the wrestler – as the athlete matures, he or she will actually catch-up with the information. It’s a real case of: “when the student is ready, the teacher will arrive”.

Amazingly enough, Guru’s ingenious seeds of wisdom are planted throughout and in all areas including the technical, physical and mental which leaves the participants uniquely poised for wrestling dominance at any and all levels including youth, middle school, high school, college and even Olympics.

In Closing

The Guru in reality is not any one person. In truth, the Wrestling Guru is the culmination of over 100 of the best wrestlers and coaches from around the globe and throughout the history of wrestling time and the result of 37 years in the sport, including a seven year journey filled with dedicated and focused work.

Throughout his career, the Guru has had the honor and pleasure of competing live or in live practice combat with some of the best wrestlers and coaches in the world. Below is the list of just some of the names who he’s personally faced on the mat and are proudly represented in his techniques, philosophy, strategy and tactics.

Dave Schultz, John Smith, Kenny Monday,Kevin Jackson, Rob Koll, Cael Sanderson, Jim Zalesky, Lincoln Mcllravy, Joe Williams, Royce Alger, Marty Kistler, Dan St. John, Joe Panteleo, Joe Melchoire, The Morgans, Chris Short, Mark Branch, Mike Sheets, Steve Knight, Troy Steiner, Jim and Jeff Jordan, Cory Baze, Stewart Carter, Melvin Douglas, Ken Chertow, Brian Dolph, Matt Demeray, Johnny Johnson, etc., etc., etc.

In addition to personally wrestling and studying the entire list of stand-out Champions above, the Wrestling Guru has either been personally coached by, or has meticulously studied by way of Wrestling Camps, DVD’s, YouTube, Flo Wrestling, Wrestling Websites, Books etc., etc., the following Masters of Wrestling but not limited to:

Dan Gable, Tom and Terry Brands, J Robinson, Kendall Cross, Zeke Jones, Barry Davis, Jim Heffernan, Roy Hall, Dan Chandler, Matt Fury, The Schwabs, Randy Couture, Cary Kolat, TJ Jaworsky, Ben Askren, The Martins’, Purlers’, Jim Miller, Jeff Buxton, Joe McFarland, Stephan Abas, Carl Adams, Ray Brinzer, Bouvaisa Saitiev, Arsen Fadzaev, Bobby Douglas, etc., etc., etc.

As a result of this lifetime of Championship experience and with the preceding Gods of Wrestling, and the aforementioned seven year journey toward wrestling enlightenment, the Guru knows what they know…and now you can too.

Stick around. Prepare yourself for the Guru is about to give a small token of his appreciation back to the sport that has given him so much. Keep your eyes, ears and especially your mind wide open as the Guru improves the way the world views, perceives, understands, appreciates and especially coaches our worlds oldest and greatest sport.

G-Style Wrestling The Future of Wrestling...Now.
