Greco-Roman Wrestling

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.
