What Is On This Series? 

Learn A Full System Around How To Stay In Control, On Top, And Working For The Pin With ACC Champion, All-American, & D1 Coach Hudson Taylor

-Introduce yourself to Hudson’s detail-oriented way of wrestling by first learning his 8 positions of control. Each one, escalating from on the feet and not touching to a broken down opponent on the mat, brings with it a new set of challenges that you can only master when you have identified them. By getting this in mind, you can get more out of your practice time, match management, and positional control. Also learn, with examples and definitive time demands, how to manage a match and the clock while you wrestle (including exactly how fast into each match you should be shooting for takedowns!). Your mindset will always lead the matches, so learning the exact way that one of the best pinners ever thinks and practices is really valuable information for any wrestler or coach serious about leveling up.

-Add into your skillset every turn and pin that Hudson used in one of the most successful bonus point careers in history, from high school through NCAA. During his time as a National Prep Champion at the legendary Blair Academy, Hudson developed one of the best single wrist rides ever, chaining it to stacks, halfs, and armbars from everywhere. Now you can finally see the series that has made Blair one of the best programs in history! In addition, go deep into how to cradle like a this ACC Wrestler Of The Year, from nearside, farside, even rolling across your own back. Once you are ready to light up the scoreboard, add in the high volume tilts you can be using to destabilize and take the base out from anyone in the bracket. Each tilt has its own specifics, but you can master each with the instruction given here, including the Gillespie tilt, the Lambrecht tilt, the cross-wrist tilt, and the Saylor tilt.

-Once boots start coming in, a lot of wrestlers start clamming up, not sure what to do. You can leave all that in the past, because even as a 197-pounder, Hudson was always prolific with his hooks in, including with his dreaded moneymaker variation on the power half. Learn how to put your boots in and score big, or how to clear them out and escape every time. This no longer has to be a dreaded situation, it can be your points consistently!

 -Escaping from bottom comes down to two things: your mindset and how much space you can create. Now you can learn both at once, on these 8-volumes. In systematic fashion, learn the small movements, then the techniques, then the counters you need to wrestle through anything you see from bottom. With escapes, granby rolls, and standups that are as bulletproof as they are technical, never get ridden out again.

 -We couldn’t bring in an innovator like Hudson without letting him go deep into some of the never before shown moves that he has been perfecting and inventing. Hudson developed his wrestling into a super successful grappling style (and became a jiu-jitsu world champion!) With nearly a dozen turns from common positions, you can add in some flash and excitement to the same few top moves, and really catch your next practice partner by surprise.
