What Will You Learn?
Every good wrestler is built on the same foundation, and Dan Vallimont has put the whole thing in one bundle for beginners.
Dan Vallimont is a two-time NCAA Division I All-American for Penn State. He finished third at the 2008 NCAA Championships and reached the NCAA finals in 2010, and he went on to coach at the college level. He has also proven himself on the jiu-jitsu mats: he's a brown belt, a two-time IBJJF No-Gi World Champion (blue and purple belt) and a two-time IBJJF No-Gi Pan Champion (purple and brown belt). Now he's sharing the fundamentals every wrestler needs, in the order you need them.
This bundle includes all four Wrestling For Beginners courses. Neutral Offense teaches you how to stand, move in your stance and use the penetration step to finish double legs, high crotches and singles, with simple setups to get you there.
Neutral Defense shows you how to protect your legs with your head, hands and hips, how to sprawl, down block and score from the front headlock, and how to break the lock and defend doubles, high crotches and singles once your opponent gets in. Both neutral courses also include drills and games you can run in practice.
On the mat, Bottom Position Basics covers stand ups, sit outs, granbys and ride defense, so you can get up and escape. Top Position Basics teaches breakdowns, tilts, half nelsons and cradles, so you can ride your opponent and look for the pin.
Whether you're brand new to wrestling, a coach building a beginner program or a jiu-jitsu player who wants to feel comfortable on the feet, this bundle gives you a clear path through the basics, from the first stance to the first pin.
Learn the foundation of wrestling, step by step, with Dan Vallimont.
