Product Description

Product Description

With more than 700 detailed photographs illustrating moves and countermoves, this book shows how to handle any opponent in virtually any situation. "Winning Wrestling Moves" provides high school and college wrestlers and their coaches with all the fundamentals and latest refinements in wrestling techniques. Never before have so many wrestling moves been described and illustrated in one volume. Three former All-Americans from the University of Iowa - Mark Mysnyk, Barry Davis, and Brooks Simpson - team up to share the techniques that made them champions, including: proper stance, movement, penetration, and lifting technique; breakdowns, rides, and pins; 200 takedowns featuring variations based on the opponent's reaction; escapes and reversals; valuable counter techniques; and, freestyle turns for freestyle and scholastic wrestling. "Winning Wrestling Moves" is a generously illustrated guide that shows wrestlers at the high school and college levels how to come out on top in every match.

Mark Mysnyk was a two-time New York state high school champion, a member of four of the University of Iowa's NCAA championship teams, an alternate on the 1976 U.S. Olympic freestyle wrestling team, and a member of the 1977 World University team. His many years of wrestling and instructing wrestlers have provided him with rich insights, which he shares in describing the techniques in this book. Dr. Mysnyk is an orthopedic surgeon in Iowa City and an active as a volunteer wrestling coach with Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He is also the author of the highly successful book Wrestling Fundamentals and Techniques: The Iowa Hawkeyes' Way. Brooks Simpson is a champion wrestler at the national level as a Big Ten champion and NCAA runner-up in 1990. He has taught wrestling techniques at Dan Gable's Training Camp and other wrestling clinics since 1986. He is also the wrestling coach at Parkview High School in Springfield, Missouri. Barry Davis has experienced success at every level of wrestling. He is a three-time NCAA champion; four-time All American; three-time Iowa state champion; and a Pan Am, World, and Olympic medalist. He also has several years' experience coaching wrestling as Dan Gable's assistant at the University of Iowa and as an assistant under Andy Rein at the University of Wisconsin. Barry is the head wrestling coach at the University of Wisconsin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Anyone Interested in Wrestling, 14 Feb 2006
By J. H. Sweet - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book in tandem with Greco-Roman Wrestling by William A. Martell, and I can't decide which I like better. They are both good.

Winning Wrestling Moves is well written, thorough, and easy to understand. As a mere spectator/admirer of the sport of wrestling, I am pleased with the photos and detail in this book, which help me to understand exactly what I am watching.

Though "Winning" is stressed in this book, the flavor/tone of the author's words also emphasize the love for the sport, competing against one's self to achieve success, and sportsmanship, which is admirable and impressive, since there must naturally be a winner and a loser - both of which are honorable. Also impressive is the fact that this book does not seem to be about shortcuts, just hard work and great technique.

This book has wonderful descriptions with good flow, and though it is technical, it was easy for a non-wrestler to understand. I recommend it for everyone interested in this great sport, not just athletes and coaches. <

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to wrestling techniques for all skill levels, 29 Sep 2001
By A Customer
As an old dog trying to learn new tricks - I didn't start wrestling until I was 30 - I found this book invaluable.

Most coaching books - especially wrestling ones - suffer from the problem of poor quality photography. But here the pics are well-chosen and clear and the text goes straight to the point. And the sheer comprehensiveness of it means you keep returing to it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginner and intermediate wrestlers., 22 July 1999
By A Customer
I was a 3 time city champ wrestler so I know a plenty about this great sport. I remember reading this book in my sophomore year as I signed up for the wrestling team in my H.S. after they decided to bring the sport back after a one year absence. Everything that the coach thought we weren't ready for the book helped me cover it. I won rookie of the year, city champ and made co-captain as a sophomore The book gave me an edge over several of my team mates (Except the seniors who wrestled in the previous teams.) I'm not saying that the book taught me and made me an outstanding and super wrestler, my coach helped me improve my techniques. I recommend that if you recently joined a wrestling team and have no knowledge other than a couple of moves, buy this book. However, don't let anyone know you're reading it. Surprise everyone by pulling a move during practice and you'll probably make co-captain too.
