Product Description

Author Bill Martell, a team leader and assistant coach of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling team, presents championship techniques that will help Greco-Roman wrestlers increase their expertise and help traditional folkstyle and freestyle wrestlers become more power-intensive, controlled, and competitive. Coaches and wrestlers will find the techniques presented in Greco-Roman Wrestling an excellent way to expand their knowledge of the sport and develop their wrestling skills - no matter what wrestling style they apply them to. The book features more than 500 photos of Greco-Roman fundamentals and Olympic-level scoring moves. Plus, Bill Martell explains how Greco-Roman can be used to refine other styles of wrestling and which Greco-Roman moves best complement aggressive folkstyle and freestyle techniques. Coaches and wrestlers at the high school, college, and club levels will find information on: how to perform basic body, arm, and head and arm attacks; how to regain control of a match with effective counterattack moves; and how to combine the techniques into powerful scoring opportunities on the mat. The book also features a training programme with more than 25 weight training and flexibility exercises for conditioning and strength as well as sample workout calendars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Observers, for Understanding and Insight, 14 Feb 2006

By	J. H. Sweet - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I would like to describe how extremely helpful this book is to a spectator of the sport of wrestling. Since I am merely a fan or observer of this great sport, I don't have the inside knowledge to understand exactly what I am seeing when I watch wrestling. This book has been an excellent reference text and teaching guide for me to learn more about my favorite sport.

Since so much happens in such a short amount of time in wrestling matches - which is one of the reasons this sport is truly special and so exciting to watch (no endless waiting for something to happen, no standing around, no lengthy time-outs) - this book does a wonderful job explaining in depth what actions the observer is witnessing.

I know this book is intended as a training/how-to manual, but I feel it is great for non-participants (cheerers) too. I intended to pass this book on to a family member to encourage participation in the sport, but I am afraid I am keeping it for myself, at least for the time being.

Great photos, easily understandable technical/strategy information, and a nice history/background section - this book has it all. I already had a tremendous appreciation for the sport of wrestling as far as the sportsmanship, strength, endurance, strategy, training, skill, etc. Now I have a greater understanding of the complexities and nuances as well. This has given me wonderful insight into something I could admire, but only slightly understand before. And I am planning to employ some of the flexibility exercises in a non-wrestling context. This is simply a wonderful book for everyone to enjoy, not just wrestlers and coaches.

The quality of this book is outstanding. The authors show great detail in the technique instructional photos and include detailed training schedules, including peaking routines for upcoming competitions. I highly recommend it!

I think this book and "Winning Wrestling Moves" are great books for the beginning wrestler.The moves are easy and the guidelines are so specific. I bought "Winning Wrestling Moves",and I am planning on buying "Greco-Roman Wrestling.The pictures are GREAT. I recommend all beginning wrestlers to buy these 2 books.
