Wrestling Drill Book

I recently got a book called "Wrestling Drill Book". The author is D. Johnson. It was published by. This is the single best book on wrestling that I have ever seen! I am a very tough critic when it comes to martial art and wrestling books and this book blew me away! It contains tons of drills, tactics, and technique details. The book is divided up into 8 chapters. The chapters are as follows: 1. Leg Attack Drills 2. Upper Body Attack Drills 3. Setups, Ducks, and Drags 4. Neutral Position Defensive Drills 5. Top Man Drills 6. Bottom Man Drills 7. Games and Mat-Related Activities 8. Warm-Up, Conditioning, and Endurance Activities I recommend this book without hesitation.

Well organized idea book

The book is organized into wrestling drills, games, and conditioning. A "drill finder" makes it easy to select drills for a specific technique being taught. Skill levels from peewee to college are provided as well as drills for folkstyle, freestyle, and greco-roman. Overall this book can provide many new approaches to prevent stale practice sessions. Not a book for an average wrestler, this is a coaches manual.

Many drills and games.

Great book for ideas to be used in a wrestling practice
