Wrestling · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Check the mat and nearby space, and trim your nails and remove jewelry. Loosen up your neck, shoulders, and lower back to prepare.

STEP 2

Start phase

Get into a low stance and start with light footwork and takedown drills. Match your intensity to your partner as you continue grappling.

STEP 3

End phase

Lower the intensity and walk slowly to loosen up as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Pushing and pulling against a partner works your cardiovascular system and whole body. Use your legs and core to hold a stable, low stance.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Avoid forcefully twisting your partner's neck or joints. Keep your head up when you fall and use breakfalls to spread the impact.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale briefly instead of holding your breath as you exert force. Settle your breathing between rounds before moving again.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent wrestling. Do not enter points or takedown counts.
