Escapes: Solving the Problem

with Greg Strobel,
former Lehigh University Head Coach;
USA Wrestling's 2010 Man of the Year;
'03-'04 NWCA National Coach of the Year; 4x EIWA Coach of the Year

It is mandatory in wrestling that you be good in the bottom position. If you can't escape you have no opportunities to score. Under Coach Strobel, the Lehigh wrestlers are considered the hardest group of wrestlers to ride. Strobel passes along his philosophy and some tips on escaping. He covers three areas: Good position, problem solving and attitude. He touches two very common escapes - the stand-up and switch; and demonstrates how to escape from a tight waist, spiral ride, ankle grab and leg ride. He also covers a couple of tricks on wrist defense and how to get off your belly. Don't let your opponent ride you. This tape will help your wrestlers be in the right position to escape.
