Outstanding introduction to freestyle wrestling

Most guides to combat sports are hampered by poor quality photography. This short, good-value book is an exception. The large, full-color photos show clearly how to execute moves and the text contains lots of personal testimonies from experienced wrestlers past and present.

Wrestling was never so easy

Only one word. Great!!! This book improved my wrestling skills. Wow, I loved the photo's too.Phil

Getting Into Wrestling

I've been wrestling for a few years and when I saw this book I was so excited to see a wrestling book in color. When I got the book I was quite pleased with all the advice from coaches and Olympic wrestlers. It's all really practical information and I feel like this will help me stay focused this season. I like the step by step instruction as well. Everything is explained so I can understand it and apply it. I think this is a great book for anyone currently wrestling.
