My coach teaches different techniques from PWA Rocky – is he wrong?
There is no definitive right or wrong answer in wrestling – anybody that tells you that is defending his own ego. Let’s face facts, you will see different variations of, say, a single leg takedown from every coach you will ever have – but in some respects, it is the same move and nobody is right or wrong. We have a system that is focused on the details of making your single leg better (i.e. 4-5 different set-ups, how to drop your level and make the shot more explosive, how to finish if your shot doesn’t work initially, etc.) that your coach will likely not offer . Our advice is to be respectful , follow your coach’s practice plan and add these elements in drilling and live wrestling to the techniques your coach is teaching. You will find that the two practices actually fit together very well.
